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

Refraction can occur only when light is
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.

A 950-kg car strikes a huge spring at a speed of 22m/s (fig. 11-54), compressing the spring 5.0m. (a) what is the spring stiffne
alukav5142 [94]

(a) The spring stiffness constant of the spring is 18,392 N/m.

(b) The time the car was in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction is 0.23 s.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the car</h3>

The kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 950 x 22²

K.E = 229,900 J

<h3>Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

The stiffness constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

K.E =  U = ¹/₂kx²

k = 2U/x²

k = (2 x 229,900)/(5)²

k = 18,392 N/m

<h3>Force exerted on the spring</h3>

F = kx

F = 18,392 x 5

F = 91,960 N

<h3>Time of impact</h3>

F = mv/t

t = mv/F

t = (950 x 22)/(91960)

t = 0.23 s
