Answer:

When the solar wind gets past the magnetic field and travels towards the Earth, it runs into the atmosphere .As the protons and electrons from the solar wind hit the particles in the Earth's atmosphere, they release energy – and this is what causes the northern lights.

A lead mass is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 40.0 mL of water at 17.0°C. The water reaches a temperatur
lbvjy [14]

Answer: 502 Joules

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{40.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 40.0mL)=40.0g

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by lead will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

q=m\times c\times \Delta T

q = heat absorbed by water

m = mass of water = 40.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature of water = 20.0°C

T_{initial = initial temperature of water = 17.0°C

c = specific heat of water= 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q=40.0\times 4.186\times (20.0-17.0)]

q=502J

Hence, the joules of heat were re-leased by the lead is 502
