Heat equation, Q = m.c.Δt
Here, c represents " the specific heat of the substance "

Hope this helps!

Answer : 'c' represent the 'Specific heat of substance'.

Explanation :

Specific heat : It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of substance by one degree Celsius. The S.I unit of specific heat is, Joule per kelvin (J/K).

Formula for specific heat,

$c=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}$

where,

c = specific heat capacity of substance

Q = heat required

m = mass of substance

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

Hence, 'c' represent the 'Specific heat of substance'.

The mass of a glass beaker is known to be 24.2 g. Approximately 5 mL of water are added, and the mass of the beaker and water is

Kamila [148]

Answer: 2 significant figures in 6.4

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.

All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.

All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.

All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.

Mass of beaker = 24.2 g

Mass of beaker + mass of water = 30.625 g

Mass of water = 30.625 - Mass of beaker = 30.625 - 24.2 = 6.4g

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The answer would contain same number of decimal places as there are in the least precise number present.

Thus there are 2 significant figures in mass of water which is 6.4 grams.

What total energy (in J) is stored in the capacitors in the figure below (C1 = 0.900 µF, C2 = 16.0 µF) if 1.80 10-4 J is stored

Musya8 [376]

The total energy stored in the capacitors is determined as 2.41 x 10⁻⁴ J.

<h3>What is the potential difference of the circuit?</h3>

The potential difference of the circuit is calculated as follows;

U = ¹/₂CV²

where;

C is capacitance of the capacitor
V is the potential difference

For a parallel circuit the voltage in the circuit is always the same.

The energy stored in 2.5 μf capacitor is known, hence the potential difference of the circuit is calculated as follows;

U = ¹/₂CV²

2U = CV²

V = √2U/C

V = √(2 x 1.8 x 10⁻⁴ / 2.5 x 10⁻⁶)

V = 12 V

The equivalent capacitance of C1 and C2 is calculated as follows;

1/C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂

1/C = (1)/(0.9 x 10⁻⁶) + (1)/(16 x 10⁻⁶)

1/C = 1,173,611.11

C = 1/1,173,611.11

C = 8.52 x 10⁻⁷ C

The total capacitance of the circuit is calculated as follows;

Ct = 8.52 x 10⁻⁷ C + 2.5 x 10⁻⁶ C

Ct = 3.35 x 10⁻⁶ C

The total energy of the circuit is calculated as follows;

U = ¹/₂CtV²

U = ¹/₂(3.35 x 10⁻⁶ )(12)²

U = 2.41 x 10⁻⁴ J

A block with mass m is pulled horizontally with a force F_pull leading to an acceleration a along a rough, flat surface.

Simora [160]

Answer:

$\mu_k=\frac{a}{g}$

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction on the block is defined as:

$F_k=\mu_kN$

Where $\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface and N is the normal force, which is always perpendicular to the surface that the object contacts. So, according to the free body diagram of the block, we have:

$N=mg\\F_k=F=ma$

Replacing this in the first equation and solving for $\mu_k$ :

$ma=\mu_k(mg)\\\mu_k=\frac{a}{g}$
