Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of metal, m = 0.871 g

Heat, Q = 1.47 J

The temperature increases from 25.2°C to 38.3°C. We know that, heat released is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{1.47}{0.871\times (38.3-25.2)}\\\\c=0.128\ J/g^{\circ} C

Hence, the metal is made up of gold.

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way
BartSMP [9]
I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />

A +26.3 uC charge qy is repelled by a force
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

+1.46×10¯⁶ C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = +26.3 μC = +26.3×10¯⁶ C

Force (F) = 0.615 N

Distance apart (r) = 0.750 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Charge 2 (q₂) =?

The value of the second charge can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

0.615 = 9×10⁹ × 26.3×10¯⁶ × q₂ / 0.750²

0.615 = 236700 × q₂ / 0.5625

Cross multiply

236700 × q₂ = 0.615 × 0.5625

Divide both side by 236700

q₂ = (0.615 × 0.5625) / 236700

q₂ = +1.46×10¯⁶ C

NOTE: The force between them is repulsive as stated from the question. This means that both charge has the same sign. Since the first charge has a positive sign, the second charge also has a positive sign. Thus, the value of the second charge is +1.46×10¯⁶ C

What is the mass of an object which has a force of 600 N acting on it and is travelling
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

<em>The mass of the object is 40 Kg</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object is:

F = m.a

Where:

a = acceleration of the object.

m = mass of the object.

The mass can be calculated by solving for m:

\displaystyle m=\frac{F}{a}

The object has a net force of F=600 N acting on it and travels at a=15\ m/s^2, thus the mas is:

\displaystyle m=\frac{600}{15}

m = 40 Kg

The mass of the object is 40 Kg
