Find the specific heat of a substance that requires 8000 J of energy to heat up 400g by 20 C?

Physics

7 0

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

The concentration of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid is regulated by :
Liula [17]

Answer:

Kidney

Explanation:

One of the main function of the kidney is to maintain the homeostasis of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body.

Aldosterone is a key steroid hormone that balances sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid. Potassium and sodium ions generate electric impulse in the body which helps to perform different activities such as muscles flexing.

Kidney function for reabsorption and secretion, in which reabsorption of Na is done nd balances the sodium and potassium in the blood and body.

A weather balloon is partially inflated with helium gas to a volume of 2.0 m³. The pressure was measured at 101 kPa and the temp
Yanka [14]

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³

Johnson made a hole at the bottom of a plastic bottle containing water. However, he noticed that the water did not flow out from
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

  • a) See explanation below

  • b) At X.

Explanation:

Please, see the picture attached with the image of the plastic bottle for this question.

<u>(a) Explain why the water could not flow out of the bottle.</u>

What makes the water flow out of the botlle is the force of gravity, whic attracts the water towards the Earth.

When Johnson made a small hole at the bottom of the plastic bottle containing water, the air outside the bottle, which surrounds it and exerts a pressure all over the outer walls of the bottle, exerted a force against the small area of water "over" the hole that is in contact with the air.

Thus, this force of the air pushing upward through the wall opposed the force of gravity pulling downward making the net force zero and the water cannot fall.

<u>(b) To make the water flow out more easily, his teacher suggested making another hole. At which position - X, Y or Z, should he make the 2nd hole in order for the water to flow out the fastest?</u>

You must open the hole at a place where there is not water but air, such that the outer air can enter in the bottle.

That will make that the pressure in the space over the water inside the bottle be equal to the pressure outside.

The pressure of the air above the water will push it downward. Now, the force from the pressure of air inside the water, which is downward, opposes the upward force from the pressure of air around the first hole, and the net force will be downward, making the water flow out more easily.

Thus, the position where he should make the second hole in order for the water to flow fastest is at X.
