What is specific heat? List the formula

Physics
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
5 0

An example of a high specific heat is water’s specific heat, which requires 4.184 joules of heat to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. Scientifically, water’s specific heat is written as: 1 calorie/gm °C = 4.186 J/gm °C.

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
klio [65]

If the applied force is in the same direction as the object's displacement, the work done on the object is:

W = Fd

W = work, F = force, d = displacement

Given values:

F = 45N

d = 12m

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 45(12)

W = 540J

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 580 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )

Here

wave length used that is λ = 580 nm

=580 x 10⁻⁹

distance between slit d = .46 mm

= .46 x 10⁻³

Angular position of first order interference maxima

= λ / d radian

= 580 x 10⁻⁹ / .46 x 10⁻³

= 0.126 x 10⁻² radian

2 )

Angular position of second order interference maxima

2 x  0.126 x 10⁻² radian

= 0.252 x 10⁻² radian

3 )

For intensity distribution the formula is

I = I₀ cos²δ/2 ( δ is phase difference of two lights.

For angular position of θ1

δ = .126 x 10⁻² radian

I = I₀ cos².126x 10⁻²/2

= I₀ X .998

For angular position of θ2

I = I₀ cos².126x2x 10⁻²/2

=  I₀ cos².126x 10⁻²

Prove that s=ut+½at²​
katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

Distance travelled = Area under the line

= ut + ½ (v-u)t

Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t and so (v-u) = at

Therefore,

Distance travelled (s) = ut + ½ (v-u)t = ut + ½ (at)t = ut + ½ at²

Thus,proved.
