Answer:

0.048J/g°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Mercury = 25g

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 155°C

Amount of heat absorbed = 455J

Unknown:

Specific heat capacity of mercury = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

Q = m x C x Δt

Q is the heat absorbed

m is the mass

C is the unknown specific heat capacity

Δt is the change in temperature;

455 = 25 x C x (155 - 25)

455 = 25 x C x 130

C = 0.048J/g°C

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

$\Delta v=-27 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

$F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N$

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

$F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N$

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

$F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N$

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.

Ivenika [448]

Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond.

Hope this helps! :)
