g f, as a pioneer, you wished to warm your room by taking an object heated on top of a stove into it, which of the following 15

lb objects, each heated to 100 degrees celcius, would be the best choice and why. The specific heat capacity (in J/(g.K)) is given in parenthesis. Iron (0.450), copper (0.387), granite (0.79), gold (0.129), or water (4.18)

Answer:

Granite

Explanation:

The best choice would be granite.

This is because granite has the highest specific heat capacity of 0.79 J/(g.K) and would thus store more heat in it for the same mass and same temperature change as the other materials.

Since it contains more heat, it would be able to heat up the room to a higher temperature than the other materials.

What kind of eruption is likely to occur in a volcano having magma that is low in silica
Masja [62]
A volcano erupts quietly if it's magma is low on silica. Low silica magma will be very thin, runny, and will flow easily, so the gases in the magma will bubble out gently. Hope this helps!:)

Grains of fine california beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of 50 μm and are made of silicon dioxide,
kykrilka [37]

The average radius(r) of each grain is r = 50 nanometers = 50*10^-6 meters

Since it is spherical, so

 Volume=(4/3)*pi*r^3

V= (4/3)*pi*(50*10^-6)^3

V=5.23599*10^-13 m^3

 

We are given the Density(ρ) =2600kg/m^3

 

We know that:

Density(p) = mass(m)/volume(V)

m = ρV

 

So the mass of a single grain is:

m = 5.23599*10^-13 * 2600 = 1.361357*10^-9 kg

 

 

The surface area of a grain is:

a = 4*pi*r^2

a = 4*pi*(50*10^-6)^2

a = 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

 

Since we know the surface area and mass of a grain, the conversion factor is:

1.361357*10^-9 kg / 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

Find the Surface area of the cube:

cube = 6a^2

cube = 6*1.1^2  = 7.26m^2

 

multiply this by the converions ratio to get:

total mass of sand grains = (7.26 m^2 * 1.361357*10^-9 kg) / (3.14*10^-8 m^2)

total mass of sand grains = 0.3148 kg = 314.80 g

Calcular la aceleración que produce una fuerza de 40 N sobre un cuerpo con 88 Kg de masa. Expresar el resultado en m⁄s^2 *
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².
