The specific heat capacity of copper is three times the specific heat capacity of lead. Equal masses of copper and lead are heat

ed from room temperature to the temperature of boiling water. To achieve this, the amount of heat added to the copper is ___________ the amount of heat added to the lead.

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

The solution for this problem:
The distance in mega parsec is equal to recession velocity / H, where h is equal to 50 mega parsec.The explanation for this is:1 parsec = 2.E+05 AU, nearly. 50 mega parsec = 1. E+13 AU, nearly. 1 mega means E+06 (million).

The average distance of the planet mercury from the sun is 0.39 times the average distance of the earth from the sun. How long i
Stels [109]

Answer:

T_1=0.24y

Explanation:

Using Kepler's third law, we can relate the orbital periods of the planets and their average distances from the Sun, as follows:

(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^2=(\frac{D_1}{D_2})^3

Where T_1 and T_2 are the orbital periods of Mercury and Earth respectively. We have D_1=0.39D_2 and T_2=1y. Replacing this and solving for

T_1^2=T_2^2(\frac{D_1}{D_2})^3\\T_1^2=(1y)^2(\frac{0.39D_2}{D_2})^3\\T_1^2=1y^2(0.39)^3\\T_1^2=0.059319y^2\\T_1=0.24y

Plz help The momentum of a baseball changes dramatically when struck by a bat.Momentum of the ball is not conserved. The best ex
Luda [366]

Answer:

When the bat hits the ball, it exerts some force on the ball. Just think about a home run hitter hitting a stationary ball. How far do you think it will go? Will it go more than 400 ft.? Probably not. While the kinetic energy transferred from the bat to the ball accounts for some energy of the ball, it does not account for all. Where is the mysterious energy coming from?

The answer is conservation of momentum. I just said momentum is conserved but how do I know that? I know that because of Newton's 2nd law: F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Conservation of momentum means that the harder you throw you, the harder the ball will bounce back at you. That is the reason it is easier to hit a home run on a fast ball than a curveball.

Conservation of momentum also means that the bat can transfer some of its momentum to the ball. This is why it is better to use a heavier bat if you swing just as fast. The momentum is the product of the mass and velocity, so to make it easier to understand;

a heavier bat swung at the same speed as a lighter bat will have more momentum.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

D. The total energy of a system can increase only if energy enters the

system

energy must be conserved--it cannot be created or destroyed.

so, if the energy of a system increases, that energy must have come from somewhere

hope this helps!!
