Why is the specific heat of salt solution lower than that of water?

Physics
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
3 0
When we dissolve NaCl in water, the ions are held in a rigid cage of water molecules. It takes less energy to activate these molecules, so the specific heat of the water decreases. The greater concentration of NaCl, the lower the specific heat capacity of the solution.

The light bulb transfers electrical energy into light. What is one type of energy that is also generated that is NOT a desired e
zimovet [89]

The old style (incandescent) light bulb converts more energy
into heat than it does into light.  If you're using it mainly as a
source of light, then it's a bummer, and its efficiency is very low. 
BUT ... if you're using an incandescent light bulb as a heater, then
its efficiency is much better.  It all depends on your point of view.

weight of Ali is 500andN.he is standing on the ground with an area of 0.025 m^2 area .we can find pressure under his feet. what
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

20000 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.

Mathematically : P =F/A    where F is force and A is area

Force = 500 N

Area= 0.025 m²

P= 500/0.025

P= 20000 Pa

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.18 cm.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.

Explanation:

Maximum speed is  :

                          v (max) = Aω

Speed v at any displacement y is given by  

v^{2} = w^{2} (A^{2} - y^{2})   ........................................................  i

And,

               v = \frac{1}{2} v (max)  

          or,  2 × v = Aω     ....................................................   ii

Eliminating  ω from equations i and ii,

                       \frac{1}{4} A^{2}  w^{2}  =  w^{2}  ( A^{2}  - y^{2})

                     or, y^{2} =  (\frac{3}{4}) A^{2}  =(\frac{3}{4}) 2.18^{2}

                    or,  y =  3.56 cm.
