Light year is a unit of measure of time that makes use of the speed of light and distance between objects to determine the number of years it will take for the light to travel. We can determine what element the object is made up of by the wavelength of the color.

How much heat must be added to make a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC that has its temperature go up 10 degrees? Q =
zlopas [31]

Answer:

100 Joule

Explanation:

Amount of heat in agiven body is given by Q = m•C•ΔT

where m is the mass of the body

c is the specific heat capacity of body. It is the amount of heat stored in 1 unit weight of body which raises raises the temperature of body by 1 unit of temperature.

ΔT is the change in the temperature of body

___________________________________________

coming back to problem

m = 5g

C = 2J/gC

since, it is given that temperature of body increases by 10 degrees, thus

ΔT = 10 degrees

Using the formula for heat as given

Q = m•C•ΔT

Q = 5* 2 * 10  Joule= 100 Joule

Thus, 100 joule heat must be added to  a  5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC to raise its temperature go up by 10 degrees.

A sound wave has a speed of 345 m/s and a wavelength of 4.15 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

83 hertz

OPTION A

Explanation:

wavelength =  \frac{speed}{frequency}

Given

wavelength=4.15m

speed=345 m/s

frequency =  \frac{speed}{wavelength} =  \frac{345}{4.15}

frequency = 83 \: hertz

I hope it helped you

d1i1m1o1n [39]

If "0.3 minute" is correct, then it's 9,543,272 Joules.

If it's supposed to say "0.3 SECOND", then the KE is 2,651 Joules.
