The temperature of a 2.0 kg block increases by 5 0c when 2,000 j of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the block's s

pecific heat?

Mass of the block = 2 kg

Temperature is increased by ΔT = 50 °C

Energy consumed by the block in raising the temperature = 2000 Joules

Let the specific heat capacity of the block be "c".

Formula to be used:

Heat gained = m × c × ΔT

Plugging the values:

2000 = 2 × c × 50

c = \frac{2000}{2\times 50}

c = 20 J/ kg °C

Hence, the specific heat capacity of the block is: 20 J/ kg °C

A plane stops from 250 mph in 25 seconds. Calculate the plane's acceleration.
Lelechka [254]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 250 mph

v = 0 mph

t = 25 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 mph) = a (25 s) + (250 mph)

a = -10 mph/s

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of water by 25.0°C
love history [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to be able to solve this problem, you will need to know the value of water's specific heat, which is listed as

c

=

4.18

J

g

∘

C

Now, let's assume that you don't know the equation that allows you to plug in your values and find how much heat would be needed to heat that much water by that many degrees Celsius.

Take a look at the specific heat of water. As you know, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is needed in order to increase the temperature of

1 g

of that substance by

1

∘

C

.

In water's case, you need to provide

4.18 J

of heat per gram of water to increase its temperature by

1

∘

C

.

What if you wanted to increase the temperature of

1 g

of water by

2

C

? You'd need to provide it with

Now let's say that you wanted to cause a

This means that in order to increase the temperature of

This will account for increasing the temperature of the first gram of the sample by

And there you have it. The equation that describes all this will thus be

q

m

In your case, you will have

Calculate the force of attraction between
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

So the force of attraction between the two objects is 3.3365*10^-6

Explanation:

m1=10kg

m2=50kg

d=10cm=0.1m

G=6.673*10^-11Nm^2kg^2

We have to find the force of attraction between them

F=Gm1m2/d^2

F=6.673*10^-11*10*50/0.1^2

F=3.3365*10^-8/0.01

F=3.3365*10^-6

Julie's psychologist helped her get over her fear of spiders. Which goal of psychology has the phycologist met ?
lord [1]
<span>The four goals of psychology are: describe observed phenomena, explain them, predict what may occur as a result of them and control behaviour as a result. Julie’s psychologist has helped Julie control her behaviour - her fear response to spiders - so they have met the ‘control behaviour’ goal of psychology.</span>
