The unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately 3.5 J/gK.

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to a certain substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where

Q is the amount of energy supplied

m is the mass of the sample

C_s is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem, we have

m = 4.9 g is the mass

Q = 668.85 J is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T = 39 K is the change in temperature

Solving for C_s, we find the specific heat capacity of the substance:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{668.85}{(4.9)(39)}=3.5 J/gK

Looking at tables of specific heat capacity, we can see that the unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately 3.5 J/gK.

What is the final speed of a 60 kg boulder dropped from a 111 meter cliff
saveliy_v [14]

After rolling off the edge of the cliff and falling ' M ' meters down,
the speed of the boulder is

       Square root of ( 19.6 M ) .

If M=111 meters, then the speed is <em>46.64 meters per second</em>.

We have known for roughly 500 years that if there's no air resistance,
the mass of the falling object makes no difference, and all objects fall
with the same acceleration, speed, time to splat, etc.

A 67 kg soccer player uses 5100 kJ of energy during a 2.0 h match. What is the
Oksanka [162]

The  average power produced by the soccer player is  710 Watts.

Given the data in the question;

  • Mass of the soccer player; m = 67kg
  • Energy used by the soccer player; E = 5100KJ = 5100000J
  • Time; t = 2.0h = 7200s

Power; P =\ ?

Power is simply the amount of energy converted or transferred per unit time. It is expressed as:

Power = \frac{Energy\ converted }{time}

We substitute our given values into the equation

Power = \frac{5100000J}{7200s}\\\\Power = 708.33J/s \\\\Power = 710J/s \ \ \ \ \ [ 2\ Significant\ Figures]\\\\Power = 710W

Therefore, the  average power produced by the soccer player is  710 Watts.

An electric wheel chair is designed to run on a single 12-V battery rated to provide 100 ampere-hours. How much energy is stored
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 12 V

Current, I = 100 ampere-hours

Energy stored is given by the product of power and time taken. So,

E=P\times t

P is the power, P=V\times I

P=12\times 100

P = 1200 watts

This power can be used for 1 hour or 3600 seconds

Energy, E=1200\times 3600

E = 4320000 J

So, the energy stored in this battery is 4320000 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
