<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

A 48-volt source is required to furnish 192 watts to a parallel circuit consisting of three resistors of equal value. What is th
dem82 [27]

Answer:

36 Ω

Explanation:

Since the 3 resistors are connected in parallel.

The combined resistance of the resistor is

1/Rc = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R ...................... Equation 1

Where Rc = combined resistance of the three resistor, R1 = Resistance of each of the resistor

Rc = R/3 ....................... Equation 2

The formula of power is given as

P = V²/Rc

Rc = V²/P ................ Equation 3

Where V = Voltage, R =  Combined Resistance, P = power.

Given: V = 48 V, 192 W.

Substitute into equation 3

Rc = 48²/192

Rc = 12 Ω

From equation 2

Rc = R/3

R = 3Rc

Where Rc = 12 Ω

R = 3×12

R = 36 Ω

Hence the resistance on each resistor = 36 Ω

The planet Mercury takes 0.24 sidereal years to go around the sun. What is the distance from the center of Mercury to the center
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5.77×10¹⁰ m

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Kepler's third law

P² = d³...................... Equation 1

Where P = Planet's period, d = distance between the center of the planet and the sun.

make d the subject of the formula n equation 1

d = \sqrt[3]{P^{2}  }.................. Equation 2

Given: P = 0.24 sidereal.

Substitute the value of P into equation 2

d = \sqrt[3]{0.24^{2} }

d = 0.386 Au

d = 0.386×1.496×10¹¹

d = 5.77×10¹⁰ m
