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

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?
serg [7]

Answer: 6.268(10)^{-16}J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron K_{e} is given by the following equation:

K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}   (1)

Where:

K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}

p_{e} is the momentum of the electron

m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg  is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find p_{e}:

p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}    (2)

p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}  

p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}   (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron \lambda_{e}   with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}    (4)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of p_{e} found in (3) for equation (4):

\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}    

\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon  \lambda_{p} is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon E_{p} using the following equation:

E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}    (7)

Where c=3(10)^{8}m/s  is the spped of light in vacuum

E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}  

Finally:

E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J

Help with 5 and the question below. BRAINLIEST FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER! Urgent Physics help!
krok68 [10]

Sound level at distance of 15 m is given as 20 dB

so intensity at this distance is given as

L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}

20 = 10 Log{I}{10^{-12}}

I_1 = 10^{-10}W/m^2

now if we move closer to some some distance the sound level is now 50 dB

now the intensity is given as

L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}

50 = 10Log\frac{I}{10^{-12}}

I_2 = 10^{-7}W/m^2

now we know that

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

\frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-7}} = \frac{r_2^2}{15^2}

r_2 = 47 cm

so now the distance from friend must be 47 cm

A fruit bat falls from the roof of a cave. We know that her potential energy was
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

v = 15.65 m/s

Explanation:

We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:

Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf

At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.

Pi = m g h = 600 J

and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)

Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:

m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg

Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:

Pf + KEf = 600 J

with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)

KEf= 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

and we solve for the velocity:

600 J = 0 + 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9

v = 15.65 m/s
