Answer : The correct option is, (c) 3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the energy or heat.

Formula used :

E=V\times I\times t

where,

E = energy (in joules)

V = voltage (in volt)

I = current (in ampere)

t = time (in seconds)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

E=(3.6V)\times (2.6A)\times (350s)

E=3276J

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Formula used :

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{E}{T_{final}-T_{initial}}

where,

C = heat capacity of the calorimeter

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 20.3^oC

T_{final} = final temperature = 29.1^oC

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

C=\frac{3276J}{(29.1-20.3)^oC}

C=372.27J/^oC=3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is, 3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.50 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.45 km to
timama [110]

Answer:

3.486 km

Explanation:

Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:

s = \sqrt{J^2 + M^2}

where J = 0.5 km and M= 3.45 km are the distances between Joe and Max to their original parting point, respectively. s is the distance between them.

s = \sqrt{0.5^2 + 3.45^2} = \sqrt{12.1525} = 3.486 km

2. A Plate 0.02 mm distance from a fixed Plate moves at a velocity Of 0.6mls and requires a force of 1.962 N Per unit area to ma
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s

Explanation:

Since the shear force, F = μAu/y where μ = viscosity of fluid between plates, A = area of plates, u = velocity of fluid = 0.6 m/s and y = separation of plates = 0.02 mm = 2 × 10⁻⁵ m

Since F = μAu/y

F/A = μu/y where F/A = force per unit area

Since we are given force per unit area, F/A = 1.962 N per unit area = 1.962 N/m²

So,  μ = F/A ÷ u/y

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

μ = F/A ÷ u/y

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.6 m/s/2 × 10⁻⁵ m

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.3 × 10⁵ /s

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Ns/m²

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s

Why do we close our eyes when we sleep​
Ksju [112]

Answer:

because our some of the energy goes from our eyes

explanation;

There are several reasons why it's important to close our eyes while we sleep. Closed eyelids block light, which stimulates the brain to wakefulness. Closing our eyes also protects and lubricates the eyes while we sleep
