What is the specific heat of an object if it takes 1200 J to raise the temperature of a 20 kg object by 6 degrees C?

Physics

ch4aika [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required, Q = 1200 J

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

The increase in temperature, \Delta T=6^{\circ} C

We need to find the specific heat of the object. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{1200}{20\times 6}\\\\c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of the object is 10\ J/kg^{\circ} C.

A tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 512 hertz
Naily [24]

Answer: The correct answer is " longitudinal wave with air molecules

vibrating parallel to the direction of travel".

Explanation:

In longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the direction to the propagation of the wave. For example, sound wave is a longitudinal wave.

It needs a medium for its propagation. It can travel in solid, liquid and gas. It travel faster in solid in comparison to the liquid.

In the given problem, a tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 512 hertz  when struck with a rubber hammer. The sound  produced by the tuning fork will travel through air. Here, a longitudinal wave with air molecules vibrating parallel to the direction of travel.

Therefore, the correct option is (1).

suppose the spring in the sample problem is replaced with a spring that stretches 36 cm from its equilibrium position
amm1812

The gravitational force is acting downward as the spring is held vertically. Therefore, spring is stretched downward and the force is directly proportional to the stretched distance. The product of the mass and the gravitational acceleration gives gravitational force.
