Answer:

$c=1\ J/g^\circ C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required, Q = 8000 J

Mass, m = 400 g

The change in temperature, $\Delta T = 20^{\circ}$

The heat required due to change in temperature is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{8000 }{400\times 20}\\\\c=1\ J/g^\circ C$

So, the specific heat of the substance is $1\ J/g^\circ C$

A rectangular piece of cardboard, whose area is 352 square centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2-centimeter sq

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

$xy=352$

$y=\dfrac{352}{x}$ -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

$2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432$

$x^2-38x+352=0$

$(x-16)(x-22)=0$

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

$y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22$

For x = 22

$y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16$

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

On a day when the temperature reaches 50°F, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: 20°C

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

10°C

Explanation:

To convert °F to °C, we use the formula:

°C = (°F - 32) * ( 5/9)

So, to convert 50°F to the equivalent in °C, we can proceed as follows:

°C = ( 50 - 32 ) * (5/9)

°C = ( 18 ) * (5/9), which is, approximately,

°C = 9.999999999... ≈ 10 (5/9 ≈0.555555...)

So, 50°F is equivalent to 10°C.

a particle moves with simple harmonic motion.if it's acceleration is 100 times it's displacement what is it's period

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Simple harmonic motion is repetitive. The period T is the time it takes the object to complete one oscillation and return to the starting position. ... If at t = 0 the object has its maximum displacement in the positive x-direction, then φ = 0, if it has its maximum displacement in the negative x-direction, then φ = π.

Explanation:

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side

A concrete column has a diameter of 380 mm and a length of 2.6 m . if the density (mass/volume) of concrete is 2.45 mg/m3, deter

grigory [225]

The volume of the column is

(π) · (r²) · (length) =

(π) · (0.19 meter)² · (2.6 meters) =

(π) · (0.036 m²) · (2.6 m) =

0.294 m³ .

The density is 2,450 kg/m³ (VERY very dense, heavy concrete)

so the weight of the column is (mass)·(gravity) or

(density) · (volume) · (gravity) =

(2,450 kg/m³) · (0.294 m³) · (9.81 m/s²) =

(2,450 · 0.294 · 9.81) (kg · m³· m) / (m³ · s²) =

7,066 kg-m/s² = 7,066 Newtons .

But 9.81 Newtons = 2.20462 pounds on Earth (the weight of 1 kilogram of mass), so we have

(7,066 N) · (2.205 pound/9.81 N) =

(7,066 · 2.205 / 9.81) pounds =

1,588 pounds .
