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.

What is Newton’s second law of motion

ddd [48]

"F = dP/dt. The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"F = m·A. The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.

What is the relationship between the masses of the objects and the gravitational force between them

irga5000 [103]

The relationship between the masses of the object and the gravitational force between them is a direct relationship

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

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

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

We observe that:

- The gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the two objects, m1 and m2, so if the masses increase, the force will increase as well (so, this is a direct relationship)

- The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the objects, so if the distance is increased, the force will decrease (so, this is an inverse relationship)

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?

bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1): distance = velocity times time <=> d = v*t for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2): velocity = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3

4. How does a molecule differ from an atom

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a molecule, atoms are bonded together by single, double, or triple bonds. An atom has a nucleus surrounded by electrons. ... So another difference between atoms and molecules is that when similar atoms combine together in varying numbers, molecules of different properties can be formed.

Koala bears can eat only certain kind of Australian eucalyptus leaves.koalas are considered

DaniilM [7]

Hello there, and thank you for asking your question here on brainly.

Answer: Koala bears are considered herbivores, or as in the scientific name, arboreal herbivorous marsupial, marsupial because it also carries it's babies around in a pouch. Koala bears are also native to Australia, which eucalyptus leaves are also native to.

Hope this helped you! ♥
