Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the

light source was removed. Josh noticed that the sand heated up faster than the water and then cools faster than the water. Josh concludes that

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised  from T to T'.

Hence specific heat  of a substance is calculated as-

                                              c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

Answer:

we can conclude that emissivity of sand will me more than the emissivity of water

Explanation:

As we know that here Source of light is the energy source from which energy is continuously incident on the Sand and Water

So here we know that rate of energy incident on sand and water will be from same source at same rate

Here this energy absorbed by the system is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \sigma e A(T^4 - T_s^2)

so here the rate of energy absorbed is more sand than water

Also when source is off than rate of energy dissipated by sand is more than the water

So here we can conclude that emissivity of sand will me more than the emissivity of water

Which one of the following statements concerning kinetic energy is true? a The kinetic energy of an object always has a positive
hodyreva [135]

a The kinetic energy of an object always has a positive value.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion, and it can be calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

Let's now analyze each statement:

a The kinetic energy of an object always has a positive value. --> TRUE. In fact, the mass of the object is always positive, and the term v^2 is always positive as well, so the kinetic energy is always positive.

b The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its speed. --> FALSE. Looking at the formula, we see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, K\propto v^2.

c The kinetic energy of an object is expressed in watts. --> FALSE. Watts is the units for measuring power, while the kinetic energy is measured in Joules, the units for the energy.

d The kinetic energy of an object is a quantitative measure of its inertia. --> FALSE. The inertia of an object depends only on its mass, not on its speed.

e The kinetic energy of an object is always equal to the object’s potential energy. --> FALSE. The potential energy depends on the altitude from the ground, not from the speed, so the two energies can be different.

bija089 [108]
Assuming that the angle is the same for both ropes, then D. is the answer.  You have to consider also if the ropes are close together or far apart and if the force to move the object is in line with the ropes or perpendicular to them.
