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

How do oxygen and beryllium atoms transform into oxygen ion O2- and Be2 beryllium ion Be2? tysm
Hoochie [10]
On the whole, the metals burn in oxygen to form a simple metal oxide. Beryllium is reluctant to burn unless it is in the form of dust or powder. Beryllium has a very strong (but very thin) layer of beryllium oxide on its surface, and this prevents any new oxygen getting at the underlying beryllium to react with it.

What is carried by a wave?
Nata [24]
Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. ... Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.

How are wave properties and energy related?<br> give me examples
klasskru [66]

Answer:

They don’t ‘represent’ anything, they are properties of the wave.

Depending on the type of wave, we experience them as various phenomena. For example, with a sound wave we experience frequency (or wavelength, which is just another way to describe the same property) as the pitch of the sound. We experience amplitude as the loudness of the sound, although due to the characteristics of the ear, frequency also effects perceived loudness.

If the wave is a light wave, we experience the frequency (wavelength) as the colour of the light, and the amplitude as the brightness of the light.

For many waves, we don’t perceive them at all (e.g. radio waves).

For ocean waves, frequency is the time for each peak or trough to reach us, and amplitude is how tall the wave is.
