7 0

The heat capacity of a material is a physical property defined as the quantity of heat to be supplied to a given mass of a material in order to alter the temperature of the unit. Joule per kelvin is the SI unit of heat power.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin (SI unit of specific heat capacity J kg−1 K−1).

You are trying to determine the specific gravity of a solid object that floats in water. If m is the mass of your object, mS is

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Specific Gravity = m/[m(s)-m(os)]

Explanation:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. By this definition we need to find out the ratio of density of the object of mass m to the density of the surrounding liquid.

m = mass of the object

Weight in air

W (air) = mg, where g is the gravitational acceleration

Weight with submerged with only one mass

m(s)g + Fb = mg + m(b)g, consider this to be equation 1

where Fb is the buoyancy force

Weight with submerged with both masses

m(os)g + Fb’ = mg + m(b)g, consider this to be equation 2

equation 1 – equation 2 would give us

m(s)g – m(os)g = Fb’ – Fb

where Fb = D x V x g, where D is the density of the liquid the object is submerged in, g is the force of gravity and V is the submerged volume of the object

m(s)g – m(os)g = D(l) x V x g

m(s) – m(os) = D(l) x V

we know that Mass = Density x V, which in our case would be, D(b) x V, which also means

V = Mass/D(b), where D(b) is the density of the mass

Substituting V into the above equation we get

m(s) – m(os) = [D(l) x m)/ D(b)]

Rearranging to get the ratio of density of object to the density of liquid

D(b)/D(l) = m/[m(s)-m(os)], where D(b)/D(l) denotes the specific gravity

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

$V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }$

Where

V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

R - Radius of the second object

G - Gravitational constant

h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

$1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R$

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

g a horizontal wheel of radius is rotating about a vertical axis. What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration of a bug t

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a = w² r

Explanation:

In this exercise, indicate that the wheel has angular velocity w, the worm experiences the same angular velocity if it does not move, and has an acceleration towards the center of the circle, according to Newton's second law, called the centripetal acceleration.

a = v² / r

angular and linear variables are related

v = w r

we substitute

a = w² r

where r is the radius of the wheel
