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).

Which of these objects are malleable? Check all that apply.
g100num [7]

Answer:

The tin fork and knife, the copper coin, and the steel fence pole.

Explanation:

Those are both what people would call soft metals so they are malleable to the extent of probably not needing heavy duty equipment. It depends on you description of malleable because the steel fence pole could be malleable with the correct equipment and not snap in half if bent slowly enough.

The definition of malleable: (of a metal or other material) able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking.

But the glass table, marble sculpture and antique ceramic vase are nowhere near malleable because if you tried bending them they wouldn't bend but would shatter and break into pieces.

How long does it take decaying organisms to transform into fossil fuels?
taurus [48]

Answer:

Millions or hundreds of million of years

Explanation:

It takes a very long time for decaying substances to form fossil fuels. It takes around millions or hundreds of million of years for the transformation to occur. This explains why they aren’t renewable.

Decayed plant materials usually form coal while decayed animal materials form crude oil.

1) Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.
Anton [14]

Answer:

The order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given:

Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.

From the formula of energy in terms of frequency.

  E = hf

Where h = planck constant, f = frequency of light.

From above formula we can conclude that higher frequency means higher energy.

In our case ultraviolet has higher frequency and microwave has lower frequency.

So ultraviolet has higher energy and microwave has lower energy.

microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet

Therefore, the order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"

Point charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance of 60 cm along a horizontal axis.
amm1812

Answer:

38 cm from q1(right)

Explanation:

Given, q1 = 3q2 , r = 60cm = 0.6 m

Let that point be situated at a distance of 'x' m from q1.

Electric field must be same from both sides to be in equilibrium(where EF is 0).

=> k q1/x² = k q2/(0.6 - x)²

=> q1(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3q2(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3(0.6 - x)² = x²

=> √3(0.6 - x) = ± x

=> 0.6√3 = x(1 + √3)

=> 1.03/2.73 = x

≈ 0.38 m = 38 cm = x

A 2,700-kg truck runs into the rear of a 1,000-kg car that was stationary. The truck and car are locked together after the colli
Leto [7]

Answer:

6200 J

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

The car is initially stationary.  The truck and car stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity.  Therefore:

m₁ u₁ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Solving for the truck's initial velocity:

(2700 kg) u = (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)

u = 4.11 m/s

The change in kinetic energy is therefore:

ΔKE = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² − ½ m₁ u²

ΔKE = ½ (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)² − ½ (2700 kg) (4.11 m/s)²

ΔKE = -6200 J

6200 J of kinetic energy is "lost".
