Answer:
The change in temperature that occurs when 8000 J of heat is used by a mass 75 g of water is 25.4 °C
Explanation:
H = mc ΔT
m = 75 g
c = 4. 200 J/ g °C
H = 8000 J
ΔT =?
Rearranging the formula, making ΔT the subject of formula;
ΔT = H / m c
ΔT = 8000 / 75 * 4.200
ΔT = 8000 / 315
ΔT = 25.4 °C
You would think that the bag of nails would have more mass but their masses are identical. <span>If you were to put them both in a vacuum chamber and let them fall from a great height, they would fall the same speed. The vacuum chamber would suck all of the air out of the cotton balls, thus making it heavier and weigh the same as the bag of nails.
Hopefully this is helpful and makes sense.</span>
