Answer:

10 degree C

Explanation:

Q = 500 kcal = 500 x 1000 x 4.186 J = 2.1 x 10^6 J

V = 50 liter

m = Volume x density = 50 x 10^3 x 1000 = 50 kg

Let ΔT be the rise in temperature.

Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg C

Q = m x c x ΔT

2.1 x 10^6 = 50 x 4186 x ΔT

ΔT = 10 degree C

:

change in potential energy , ∆Ep = 156.8Joules

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of object , m = 2.0 kg

Heights ; h₂ = 5.0m

h₁ = - 3.0m

To obtain

the change in potential energy, ∆Ep = ?

But,

∆Ep = mg∆h

Where;

m is the mass of the object (kg)

∆h = h₂ - h₁ is the change in height (m)

g is the acceleration due to gravity ( 9.80 m/s²)

Therefore,

the change in potential energy, ∆Ep = 2.0 × 9.80 × ( 5 - (- 3))

=156.8 joules

16 points and brainiest whoever is right
masha68 [24]
Let k be the spring constant. Then you have
188=k*21.8
k=188/21.8=8.62,
In the second part you use
m g= k x
x=m g/k= 38/8.62=4.4cm

4.4 cm is the answer

A point charge +Q is located on the x axis at x = a, and a second point charge –Q is located on the x axis at x = –a. A Gaussian
Anna [14]

Answer:

Net flux through the surface is zero.

Explanation:

Recall that the net electric flux through a closed surface depends on the net charge enclosed inside that surface.

In our case, there are two point charges of exactly opposite charge (net charge - zero), which are located inside the Gaussian surface of radius "2 a" centered at the origin - both charges are located at a distance "a" from the origin of coordinates, therefore inside the Gaussian surface.

Then the net flux through the surface is also ZERO.

An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing.<br><br>A. True<br><br>B. False​
german

Answer:

False

Explanation:

No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish

when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas).

If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment

is equal to the object's weight.

Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.
