What is specific heat? List the formula

1 answer:

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.

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?

torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd where F = mg

W= Fd

= mg d

= 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

= 294 J

Analogue signals transmit information for such things as _____________.

ivann1987 [24]

Transmission of information in ANY form can be done digitally
or analoguely.

Beginning about 30 years ago, everything slowly started changing
to digital. Today, all commercial satellite communication, all optical
fiber communication, all internet communication, all computer
communication, all commercial cable communication, all commercial
television, and much of the telephone system, are all digital.

On your computer ... .pdf, .jpg, .mp3 etc. are all digital methods of
moving and storing information.

AM and FM radio are an interesting subject. They're all still analog.
They could easily be changed to all digital, and it would be a big
improvement, both for the broadcasters and for the listeners.
BUT ... every AM and FM radio that anybody has now would be
obsolete. Every single radio would either need to be replaced,
OR you'd need to add a digital decoder to every radio, like we
had to do with our TV sets a few years ago when television
suddenly became all digital. With AM and FM radios, the decoders
would be bigger, and would cost more, than most of the radios.

And that's why commercial radio broadcasting is still analog.

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth at approximately 612,000m altitude. Its mass is 11,100 kg and the mass of earth is 5

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

7.55 km/s

Explanation:

The force of gravity between the Earth and the Hubble Telescope corresponds to the centripetal force that keeps the telescope in uniform circular motion around the Earth:

$G\frac{mM}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m=11,100 kg$ is the mass of the telescope

$M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$R=r+h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+612,000 m=6.99\cdot 10^6 m$ is the distance between the telescope and the Earth's centre (given by the sum of the Earth's radius, r, and the telescope altitude, h)
