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

Physics

monitta3 years ago
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

Which BEST describes the difference between speed and velocity?
kirill [66]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Explanation :

Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.

Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.

The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basisof their speed (in vacuum). Rank from fastest to slowest. To rank items as equivale
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: On the basis of speed they are all equivalent.

Yellow light = Fm radio wave = Green light = X-ray = AM radio wave = Infrared wave

Explanation:

Yellow light, Fm radio wave, Green light ,X-ray, AM radio wave and Infrared wave are all electromagnetic waves, and all electromagnetic waves move at the same vacuum speed which is the speed of light and is approximately 3.0x10^8 m/s.

They only differ in wavelength and frequency

c = λf

c (speed of light) = λ (wavelength) x f (frequency)

Therefore; on the basis of speed they are all equivalent.

Yellow light = Fm radio wave = Green light = X-ray = AM radio wave = Infrared wave

Which of the following types of technologies has best helped scientists to study very high-energy objects in outer space, such a
erica [24]

Very high-energy objects and events spit out very high-energy photons, so the instrument you need in order to detect them is the       X-ray telescope. <em>(C)  </em>

Inconveniently, X-ray telescopes only work when they're up in orbit, because X-rays get seriously soaked up in Earth's atmosphere, and most of them never make it down to the surface ... (lucky for us !) .
