Answer:

13.33 K

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed, Q = 30 J

Mass of nail, m = 5 g = 0.005 kg

The specific heat capacity of the nail is 450 J/kg-°C.

We need to find the increase in the temperature during the process. The heat absorbed in a process is as follows:

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\dfrac{Q}{mc}\\\\\Delta T=\dfrac{30}{0.005\times 450}\\\\=13.33\ K

So, the increase in temperature is 13.33 K.

A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50 Celsius. How much thermal energy will it lose when it’s temperature is redu
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of aluminium block, m = 1.0 kg

The initial temperature of block, T = 50° C

The final temperature of the block, T' = 25° C

The change in temperature, ΔT = 50° C - 25° C

                                                     = 25° C

The specific heat capacity of aluminium, c = 900  J/kg°C

The formula for thermal energy,

                             <em>Q = mcΔT</em>

                                 = 1.0 x 900 x 25

                                 = 22500 J

Hence, the lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J

a swimmer experiences a total (absolute) pressure of 117,500 pa in a pool. how far below the surface are they located?
marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the pressure can be calculated in the following way:

p = d·g·h

with d being the density of the water, g the gravitational acceleration and h the depth.

Also d of the water = 1000 kg/m^3 circa and g = 9.8 m/s^2 circa

117,500 Pa = 1000kg/m³ · 9.8m/s² · h

Therefore h = 11,9 m
