A 1.00 kg block of ice, at -25.0°C, is warmed by 35 kJ of energy. What is the final temperature of the ice?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

-8.4°C

Explanation:

From the principle of heat capacity.

The heat sustain by an object is given as;

H = m× c× (T2-T1)

Where H is heat transferred

m is mass of substance

T2-T1 is the temperature change from starting to final temperature T2.

c- is the specific heat capacity of ice .

Note : specific heat capacity is an intrinsic capacity of a substance which is the energy substained on a unit mass of a substance on a unit temperature change.

Hence ; 35= 1× c× ( T2-(-25))

35= c× ( T2+25)

35 =2.108×( T2+25)

( T2+25)= 35/2.108= 16.60°{ approximated to 2 decimal place}

T2= 16.60-25= -8.40°C

C, specific heat capacity of ice is =2.108 kJ/kgK{you can google that}

If an object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 40 cm3, what is its density in g/cm3?
sattari [20]
Density = Mass/Volume 
So, given mass = 20 g and volume = 40 cm^3 
By substituting in above equation, Density = 20/40 = 0.5 g/cm^3
Hope it helps.

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building and falls for 4 seconds. Neglecting air resistance, the final
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building.

Time = 4 sec

We need to calculate the final velocity of the ball

Using equation if motion

v=u+gt

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=0+9.8\times4

v=39.2\ m/s

Hence, The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.
