Answer:

c = 0.4356 J/gK

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 450 grams

Initial temperature, T1 = 150°C

Final temperature, T2 = 53°C

Quantity of heat = 34500 Joules

To find the specific heat capacity of the metal;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 53 - 150

dt = -97°C

Converting the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin, we have;

dt = 273 + (-97) = 176 Kelvin

Making c the subject of formula, we have;

c = \frac {Q}{mdt}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

c = \frac {34500}{450*176}

c = \frac {34500}{79200}

c = 0.4356 J/gK

A car starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 m/s/s for a time of 5.0 s. What is the final velocity of the car?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s/5.0sec

5.0sec×4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s×5.0m/s/5.0m/s

20m/s=v

Artyom0805 [142]
He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.
