Answer:

22425 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Thermal Energy, c = specific heat capacity of aluminium, m = mass of aluminium, t₂ = Final Temperature, t₁ = Initial Temperature.

Given: c = 897 J/kg.K, m = 1.0 kg, t₁ = 50 °C, t₂ = 25 °C (The final temperature is reduced by half)

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 897×1×(25-50)

Q = 897×(-25)

Q = -22425 J

Hence the thermal energy lost by the aluminium is 22425 J

Savion listed the steps involved when nuclear power plants generate electricity.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3

Explanation:

In a nuclear power plant, we have;

1) Nuclear reaction between the radio active species and the particles takes place to generate energy in the nucleus of atoms

2) The nuclear energy in the atom is converted into radiant energy, which is the energy found in light, and thermal (heat) energy

3) The produced radiant and thermal energy is released as heat and light

4) With the produced heat, steam is generated

5) The generated steam turns the steam turbines and produced mechanical energy

6) The produced mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator of the power plant

To correct Savion's error, Step 4) the light and heat should be released before step 3) the released heat can be used to generate steam, we therefore reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.

A square is cut out of a copper sheet. Two straight scratches on the surface of the square intersect forming an angle theta. The
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<em>a) increases</em>

Explanation:

Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.
