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

Physics

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.

Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

$W_b = m_bg = \\ \\ W_b = (0.730 \ kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N$

The mass of the water accumulated in the bucket after 3.20s is:

$m_w= (0.20 \ L/s) ( 3.20)s$

$m _w=0.64 \ kg$

To determine the weight of the water accumulated in the bucket, we have:

$W_w = m_w g$

$W_w = ( 0.64 \ kg )(9.80\ m \ /s^2)$

$W_w = 6.272 \ N$

For the speed of the water before hitting the bucket; we have:

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2*9.80 \ m/s^2 * 3.60 \ m}$

v = 8.4 m/s

Now, the force required to stop the water later when it already hit the bucket is:

$F = v ( \dfrac {dm}{dt} )$

$F = (8.4 \ m/s)( 0.200 \ L/s)$

F = 1.68 N

Finally, the reading scale is:

$F_{scale$ = 7.154 N + 6.272 N + 1.68 N

= 15.106 N

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

-2.79 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

v = 11 m/s

Δx = 50 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(11 m/s)² = (20 m/s)² + 2a (50 m)

a = -2.79 m/s²

Round as needed.

Line segment gj is a diameter of circle l. angle k measures (4x 6)°. circle l is inscribed with triangle g j k. line segment g j

choli [55]

The value of x in the given right triangle in a semicircle is determined as 21.

<h3>What is the measure of a triangle in a semicircle?</h3>

The triangle in a semicircle is always a right angle triangle.

From the figure shown, we can say that the triangle G J K is right triangle and m<K = 90degrees.

Given that m<K = 4x + 6, we will can use the following equation to find the value of x as shown:

4x + 6 = 90

4x = 90 - 6

4x = 84

x = 21

Thus, the value of x in the given right triangle in a semicircle is determined as 21.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2$

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces
