The metal whose specific heat capacity is close to the obtained value is aluminum.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity</h3>

The specific heat capacity of an object is the heat required to raise a unit mass of the substance by 1 kelvin.

$Q= mc\Delta \theta$

where;

c is the specific heat capacity
Δθ is change in temperature

Let the mass of the water = 50 g

mass of the metal for this first trial = 50 g

The heat gained by the water is calculated as follows

$Q = 50 \times 4.184 \times 8.4\\\\Q = 1757.28 \ J$

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the first trial is calculated as follows;

Heat gained by water = Heat lost by metal

$C = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T} = \frac{1757.28}{50\times 8.4} = 4.184 \ J/g^oC$

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the second trial;

mass of metal = 200 - mass of water = 150 g

$C_2 = \frac{1757.28}{150 \times 15.2} = 0.77 \ J/g^oC$

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the third trial;

$C_3 = \frac{1757.28}{250 \times 20.8} = 0.34\ J/g^oC$

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the fourth trial;

$C_4 = \frac{1757.28}{350 \times 25.4} = 0.19\ J/g^oC$

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the fifth trial;

$C_5 = \frac{1757.28}{450 \times 29.6} = 0.13\ J/g^oC$

Average specific heat capacity

$C = \frac{4.184 + 0.77 + 0.34+ 0.19 + 0.13 }{5} = 1.12 \ J/g^oC = 1120 J/kg^oC$

The metal whose specific heat capacity is close to the above value is aluminum.

Determine the force per meter on a lightning bolt at the equator that carries 20 000 A and is perpendicular to the Earth’s magne

Sladkaya [172]

To determine the force per meter of a light bolt at the equator that carries 20 000 A and is perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field with a magnitude of 3x10-5 T, we do this:
20000 / 3x10-5 = 666.67x10^6 N/m

The direction of the force would be to the left parallel to the equator.

What are the 3 fossil fuels, and how are fossil fuels made?

Softa [21]

Answer:

coal, oil and natural gas.

Explanation:

Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
