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.

Answer:

This is because the air outside is always cooler than the air inside, so after staying outside your body adapts to the cold air, when you come back inside, the cold air is still in you which makes the room seem warmer.

How do you calculate the mass of an object accelerating at22.35m/s2 with a force of 120N
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The mass of object is calculated as 5.36 kg

Explanation:

The known terms to find the mass are:

           acceleration of object (a) = 22.35 m/s^{2}

                        Force exerted (F) = 120N

                        mass of an object (m) = ?

From Newton's second law of motion;

                                   F = ma

                           or, 120 = m × 22.35

                          or, m= \frac{120}{22.35} kg

                           ∴ m = 5.36 kg
