Answer:

three times

Explanation:

Heat added is calculated according to the following equation

Q = mcΔT

where Q is the heat added

           c is the specific heat capacity (of lead for the purposes of this question)

           ΔT is the temperature change in Kelvin or degree Celsius

Q1 for heating lead = mc(373K-298K) = 75mc

Q2 for heating copper = m(3c)(373-298) = 225mc = 3(75mc) = 3Q1

What must you know to find the amount of work done on an object
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work. A newton-meter is the same thing as a joule, so the units for work are the same as those for energy – joules.

Describe the difference between the currents that exist in the wires leading to a capacitor when these wires are connected to (a
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation: In DC circuit, the current will flow for a short time, which is required to charge the capacitor. Once you switch it on, it spikes and the gradually decreases to almost zero (0) as the capacitor becomes fully charged.

In an AC circuit, the circuit acts as if the current is flowing throw the plates whereas is not actually flowing. The circuit acts like the AC is flowing through the capacitor.

Describe the orbit in which planets revole around the sun
Novay_Z [31]
Planets orbit the sun in the paths which are known as elliptical orbit. Each planet has its own orbit around the sun and direction in which all the planets orbit around the sun are the same. These orbits were well explained by the astronomer Kepler. The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.

When Emeka was first training his dog, Smooches, to heel he would give Smooches a treat when she stayed close during walks. Now
shepuryov [24]
<span>Answer a. is correct. In this case the dog treats were positive reinforcers for staying close (the desirable behaviour). Repeated rewards for a certain behaviour work as positive reinforcers.</span>
