Answer:
All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions
Answer:
25.2°C
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Energy applied to the water = 1000J
Mass of water = 50g
Final temperature = 30°C
Unknown:
Initial temperature = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the expression below:
H = m c Ф
H is the energy absorbed
m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
Ф is the change in temperature
1000 = 50 x 4.184 x (30 - initial temperature )
1000 = 209.2(30 - initial temperature)
4.78 = 30 - initial temperature
4.78 - 30 = - initial temperature
Initial temperature = 25.2°C
