<u>Answer:</u>
Specific Heat
<u>Explanation:</u>
Specific heat is the measurement which describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius.
It is the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and the temperature change is usually expressed as shown below:
Δ
where = heat added,
= specific heat,
=mass; and
Δ = change in temperature
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
70 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)
Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²) , and you have
mass = 70 N / 9.8 m/s² = 7.14 kg.

Mass on the moon:
Mass doesn't change. It's a number that belongs to the bowling ball,
no matter where the ball goes. If the mass of the bowling ball is 7.14 kg
anywhere, then it's 7.14 kg everywhere ... on Earth, on the moon, on Mars, rolling around in the trunk of my car, or floating in intergalactic space.
However, WEIGHT depends on the gravity wherever the ball happens to be
at the moment.
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.622 m/s².
So the WEIGHT of the ball on the moon is
(7.14 kg) x (1.622 m/s²) = 11.58 Newtons
That's only about 16% of its weight on Earth.
Answer:
Answer
Advantages of alcohol over Mercury
(a) Freezing point of alcohol is −117∘
C and hence can record very low temperature For example in Arctic and Antarctic regions temperature may fall below −80∘
C which cannot be measured by mercury thermometer because mercury freezes at−39 ∘ C
(b) The expansion of alcohol per degree rise in temperature is much more around six times more then that of mercury and hence is more sensitive
(c) it can be coloured brightly by adding some dye in it and hence is easily detectable
Answer:
36N
Explanation:
First draw a diagram so you can see which forces act in which direction.
Then define which is your positive direction. I chose the direction of accelleration (downward) to be positive. This means that the weight of the object is also acting in the positive direction but Tension is acting in the negative direction.
If the elevator which contains the object within is accellerating at 2.6 ms^-2 then the object and string system is also accellerating at the same rate.
F = ma where F is the resultant force.
Resultant for is Weight + Tension but tension is in the negative direction so
F = mg -T
F = 5g - T
F = ma so F = 5 x 2.6
13 = 5g-T
T = 5g - 13
T = 36N
(I've taken g = 9.8ms^-2 but if this is for a physics class I'd take it to be 9.81ms^-2)
