<h3>Answer:</h3>

172.92 °C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

  • Specific heat capacity of copper as 0.09 cal/g°C
  • Quantity of heat is 8373 calories
  • Mass of copper sample as 538.0 g

We are required to calculate the change in temperature.

  • In this case we need to know that the amount of heat absorbed or gained by a substance is given by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = m × c × ΔT

Therefore, to calculate the change in temperature, ΔT we rearrange the formula;

ΔT = Q ÷ mc

Thus;

ΔT = 8373 cal ÷ (538 g × 0.09 cal/g°C)

    = 172.92 °C

Therefore, the change in temperature will be 172.92 °C

Two identical objects, A and B, are sitting on a table. If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10
sveta [45]

If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:

                      \text {Acceleration of the object } \propto \frac{\text {Net force on the object}}{\text {Mass of the object}}

So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.

Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.

Circular Motion A 650-kg car moving at 8.5 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 48.0 m. Determine the acceleration
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the car doesn't matter because On a flat curve the mass of the car does not affect the speed at which it can stay on the curve. You would need the mass if you were solving the the centripetal force acting on the car, but not the acceleration.

a=\frac{v^2}{r} and filling in

a=\frac{(8.5)^2}{48.0} and we need 2 significant digits in our answer. That means that

a = 1.5 m/sec²

Gases in the first atmosphere came from
Darya [45]

Earth's original atmosphere was probably just hydrogen and helium, because these were the main gases in the dusty, gassy disk around the Sun from which the planets formed. The Earth and its atmosphere were very hot.
