Answer:

Specific heat of liquid 1.258 \ J/g^0C.

Explanation:

We know in thermal equilibrium :

Loss in heat by iron block = Gain in heat by liquid .

Specific heat of iron = 0.45 J/g^0C.  { source internet }

Now , loss in heat by iron block = mC_{iron}\Delta T=450\times 0.45\times 57.6=11664\ J.

Heat gain by liquid=mC_{liquid}\Delta T=450\times C_{liquid}\times 20.6=9270\times C_{liquid}.

Equating both we get :

C_{liquid}=1.258 \ J/g^0C.

How does the light source readout differ from the x-ray readout in the gizmo?
AlladinOne [14]
Radio waves and visible light are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, so they both travel at the speed of light in vacuum. What makes them different are their wavelengths (or synonymously their frequencies).The wavelengths of visible light span from about 390-700 nm, and the frequency from 430 to 790 THz.The wavelengths of radio waves go from about 1 mm to 100 km, and frequencies between 3 kHz and 300 GHz.The different sized wavelengths also give rise to slightly different properties. For example, since radio waves have a longer wavelength and lower frequencies, they are less energetic than visible light. Recall:Elight=hν=hcλ
where Elight is the energy of the light, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, νis the frequency of light, and λ is the wavelength

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE

From a branch 35 m high, a 0.75 kg bird dives into a small fish tank containing
Bad White [126]

Answer:

ΔT = 1.22*10^-3 °C

Explanation:

First, you calculate the potential energy of the bird when it is at 35 m high. The potential energy is also the mechanical energy of the bird in this case.

U=mgh

m: mass of the bird = 0.75kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: height = 35m

U=(0.75kg)(9.8m/s^2)(35m)=257.25\ J

All this energy is given to the water. You use the following formula in order to calculate the change in temperature:

Q=mc\Delta T

m: mass of the water = 50kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg°C

Q is equal to U (potential energy of the bird) because the bird gives all its energy to water. By doing ΔT the subject of the formula you obtain:

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}=\frac{257.25J}{(50kg)(4186J/kg°C)}=1.22*10^{-3}\ \°C

hence, the maximum rise in temperature is 0.00122 °C
