The capability to do work is said to be energy. It can neither be created nor be destroyed according to law of conservation of energy. Energy exist in different forms depends upon the work to be done such as potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, heat energy etc.
Now, when the guitarist plucks the guitar strings to make sound, he uses mechanical energy and when guitarist plucks the guitar strings guitar produces sound energy also.
Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
First thing first, you mistyped the specific heat of water, which should be
c
water
=
4.18
J
g
∘
C
Now, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is required to increase the temperature of
1 g
of that substance by
1
∘
C
.
In the case of water, you would need
4.18 J
to increase the temperature of
1 g
of water by
1
∘
C
.
Notice that your sample of water has a mass of
1 g
as well, which means that the only factor that will determine the amount of heat needed will be the difference in temperature.
The equation that establishes a relationshop between heat and change in temperature looks like this
q
=
m

Δ
T
, where
q
- heat absorbed
c
- the specific heat of the substance, in your case of water
Δ
T
- the change in temperature, defined as the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature
Plug in your values and solve for
q
to get
q
=
1.00

Rounded to three sig figs, the answer will be

Answer:
Unlike alpha and beta particles, which have both energy and mass, gamma rays are pure energy. Gamma rays are similar to visible light, but have much higher energy. Gamma rays are often emitted along with alpha or beta particles during radioactive decay.

Explanation:
The food has 23629.64 cal
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
mass = 1000 g of water
temperature increases 23.65 * C
Required
The energy of the food
Solution
Heat absorbed by water :
Q = m . c . Δt
Q = 1000 g x 4.184 J/g°C x 23.65 °C
Q = 98951.6 J
1 Joules = 0.2388 Calories
98951.6 J = 23629.64 cal
