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.

When resistance is decreased in a circuit, current will _________.
Mars2501 [29]
The answer is A. Increase

The formula is <span>Voltage = Resistance X Current

Lets say the voltage is 10 and the resistence is 5

10 = 5 x current
Current = 2

Now, lets decrease the resistence from 5 to 2

10 = 2 x Current
Current = 5

The current increases

What is meant by magnetic field
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

a. Magnetic field is a location of a vector field around an electric current or magnet formed due to moving electric charges, or magnetic material and has a magnetic effect and exerts a force on other magnetic materials, electric current, and electric charges. The Earth's magnetic field that has the effect of turning a compass needle is an example of a magnetic field

b. The number of turns of the coil, N, in Diagram 1.1 > The number of turns of the coil, N, in Diagram 1.2

The pattern of the iron filings in Diagram 1.1 are closer with less space in between than the pattern of iron filings in Diagram 1.2

The angle of deflection of the ammeter pointer in Diagram 1.1 will be > The angle of deflection of the ammeter pointer in Diagram 1.2, given that the number of turns and current are inversely proportional

c. i. The pattern of the iron filings will have rings which are more closely arranged to each other as the strength of the magnetic field is increased

ii. As the number of turns is increased, the magnetic field is increased

2. Using examples to describe each term, differentiate
melisa1 [442]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Average velocity is the average value of magnitude of initial velocity and final velocity.

If U = initial velocity and V = final velocity, then average velocity can be expressed as

Average velocity = ( U + V )/2

A vehicle who takes 60 minutes to cover 30 miles north and then 30 miles south and end up at the same place, has an average speed of 60 miles divided by 60 minutes, or 1 mile per minute.

Instantaneous velocity is the distance covered in a specific direction per time taken. Instantaneous velocity can be expressed as

Velocity = displacement/ time.

Uniform velocity occurs when we have a constant velocity. That is, when velocity does not change. When a vehicle travels in equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Suppose you sound a 1056-hertz tuning fork at the same time you strike a note on the piano and hear 2 beats/second. You tighten
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The frequency of the piano string is either 1053 HZ or 1059 HZ.

Explanation:

Here we know that frequency of beats is equal to the difference between the frequencies between two waves .

     Given that frequency of tuning fork is 1056 HZ  .

     Let the frequency of the piano be ' f ' .

   Given that number of beats = 3.

    We know that   | 1056 - f | = 3 ;

                      ⇒       1056- f = ±3,

         Upon solving this we get  

                        f = 1056-3 and 1056 + 3

                   ⇒ f = 1053 or 1059 .
