What statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?

1 answer:

8 0

For the answer to the question above, Due to water's polarity, water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change. <span>The specific heat of liquid water is 4.183 J / g K
I hope my answer helped you with your problem. Have a nice day!</span>

You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weight the sample and find that its weight is 28.4

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy $E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J$

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

$Q=mc\Delta T$

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

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

$\Delta T$ = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

$c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}$

$c=14.8\ J/kg. K$

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Why is Vy negative and not positive because I solved it and it resulted in a positive number?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration. You're looking for the final velocity. So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root. Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem. If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.
