2) What does the specific heat capacity of a material tell you about how easy it is to heat up

Physics

1 answer:

Fed [463]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

High specific heat -> takes more energy to raise/lower object's temperature

Low specific heat -> takes less energy to raise/lower object's temperature

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of something per unit of mass.

A high specific heat value for an object means it takes more energy to raise or lower that object's temperature. A low specific heat value for an object means it does not take very much energy to heat or cool that object.

A potential difference of 53 mV is developed across the ends of a 12.0-cm-longwire as it moves through a 0.27 T uniform magnetic

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The angle between the magnetic field and the wire’s velocity is 19.08 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference, V = 53 mV

Length of the wire, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.27 T

Speed of the wire, v = 5 m/s

Due to its motion, an emf is induced in the wire. It is given by :

$\epsilon=Blv\sin\theta$

Here,

$\theta$ is the angle between magnetic field and the wire’s velocity

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{\epsilon}{Blv}\\\\\sin\theta=\dfrac{53\times 10^{-3}}{0.27\times 0.12\times 5}\\\\\sin\theta=0.327\\\\\theta=19.08^{\circ}$

So, the angle between the magnetic field and the wire’s velocity is 19.08 degrees.

What is the average speed of a kangaroo that hops 60 m in 5 s ?

jok3333 [9.3K]

The formula for average speed is
$v_{avg}= \frac{total distance}{total time}$
So we can just substitute our data.
$v_{avg}= \frac{60}{5}=12 \frac{m}{s}$ - its the result

1 give reason

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

A. The melting of ice is both a desirable and undesirable change because, ice is needed to melt so as to make liquid water available for animal and plant use and consumption and also to release the energy used in the fusion process of ice formation. Melting of ice is undesirable because melting ice liberate water slowly, and the water liberated can erode surface soil. Melting ice reduces the available heat sink on earth and also reduces the available stored up fresh water supply on earth.

B. The appearance of hailey comet once every 72 year is a periodic change because it's motion around the solar system is repeated with time. The reason for this highly elliptical and eccentric path of motion is largely due to the gravitational effect of the sun and the planets on the comet.

Answer these questions about a light year.?

aliina [53]

These are five questions and five answers:

a. State the speed in m/sec using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 300,000,000: hundred millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 9

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of such digit less 1 (9 - 1 = 8): 3 × 10⁸

iii) Complete with the units: 3 × 10⁸ m/s ← answer

b. State the speed in km/sec using scientific notation

i) State the conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m = 10³ m

⇒ 1 = 1 km / 10³ m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor:

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 1 km / (10³ m)

iii) Simplify (cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × (10⁸ / 10³) km/s = 3 × 10⁵ km/s ← answer

c. State the number of seconds in one year using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 32,000,000: ten millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 8

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, as integer, add the other significant figures as decimals, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of the digit with highest place value less 1 (8 - 1 = 7): 3.2 × 10⁷

iii) Complete with the units: 3.2 × 10⁷ s ← answer

d. Calculate the distance in meters of one light year

i) distance formula: distance = speed × time

ii) Replace with the numbers in scientific notation:

distance = 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s

iii) Simplify (due the operations and cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s = 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m ← answer

e. State this distance in centimeters

i) State the conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm = 10² cm

⇒ 1 = 10² cm / 1 m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor: 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m × 10² cm / 1 m

iii) Simplily: 9.6 × 10⁷ cm ← answer
