A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?

Physics

7 0

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is 0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by \Delta T, according to the following equation :

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where  C_s is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

Q = 450 J is the amount of energy supplied to the block

\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for C_s, we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

Two photographers are competing for business in town. Andrea uses only film photography and Keira uses only digital photography.
____ [38]

There is no right or wrong answer, your teacher wants you to support your own answer with points. As long as the reasons make logical sense you are fine.

I think they both have valid points. Their replies are both true, but from a buyer's perspective who would you purchase services from? You would get different answers depending on who you ask.

If you choose to go old school, obviously you get an actual photo that can be stored physically. This means it is a memory that can be preserved, and it might feel more nostalgic being able to touch the photo.

On the other hand, a digitally stored photo can be altered (photoshop), but it is forever as long as the internet still exists. A physical photo would fade with time, which doesn't happen with a digital photo.

It is definitely easier to argue that digital photography has more advantages (they do, it is why nobody uses film anymore)

Points you can consider:

Can be transferred to the other side of the world instantly

Ability to make copies and print as many photos as you want

Can be stored on cloud/devices and be like that forever

Compare them with film photography to give a more solid response.

A 7.8 µF capacitor is charged by a 9.00 V battery through a resistance R. The capacitor reaches a potential difference of 4.20 V
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

655128 ohm

Explanation:

C = Capacitance of the capacitor = 7.8 x 10⁻⁶ F  

V₀ = Voltage of the battery = 9 Volts  

V = Potential difference across the battery after time "t" = 4.20 Volts  

t = time interval = 3.21 sec  

T = Time constant

R = resistance  

Potential difference across the battery after time "t" is given as  

V = V_{o} (1-e^{\frac{-t}{T}})

4.20 = 9 (1-e^{\frac{-3.21}{T}})

T = 5.11 sec  

Time constant is given as  

T = RC  

5.11 = (7.8 x 10⁻⁶) R  

R = 655128 ohm

Why some air masses are cool, cold, warm, and hot as well as moist or dry?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

Often times, the property of air masses is a function of where they originate from especially with respect to latitude.

An air mass is certain amount of air with some unique set of temperature and vapor component.

  • Air masses differs from places to places based on where  they originate.
  • Continental air masses are usually dry and cold because there is little to no water on a land mass.
  • Air masses that originates from the surface of the ocean are predominantly moist.
  • In polar regions, the air mass is cold.
  • Around the tropics, they are usually warm due to insolation here.
