A group of students decides to set up an experiment in which they will measure the specific heat of a small amount of metal. The

metal has a mass of about 5 grams.
They hang the metal in a beaker of boiling water for a long time (10 minutes or so). Then, they very quickly (within a few seconds) remove the metal from the boiling water and transfer it to a styrofoam cup of 150 mL of water at room temperature. There is a thermometer in the styrofoam cup. They know that the rise in temperature will tell them what they need to know in order to determine the specific heat of the metal, so they watch the thermometer closely... but nothing happens. The temperature does not appear to change at all.

Each student has a different suggestion for how to improve the experiment. Which of the suggestions is least likely to help?

A. Use less room temperature water in the styrofoam cup
B. Use more metal (50 grams instead of 5 grams)
C. Use more boiling water in the first beaker
D. Use a more sensitive thermometer.

The force component along the displacement varies with the magnitude of the displacement, as shown in the graph. (a) 0 to 1.0 m,
Lina20 [59]
Work is force*displacement if the force and displacement is parallel. 


a. You can average the force over the distance so W = Fave*d 

<span>b The force part of that multiplication is zero. </span>

<span>c. You can form the average force for the interval from 2 to 3 and find the work for that section and then consider the interval from 3 to 4, find the work and add the 2 work results.

A physical quantity is defined as mass per uint volume .what is its si unit.


A physical quantity is a property of a material or system that can be quantified by measurement. A physical quantity can be expressed as the combination of a numerical value and a unit. For example, the physical quantity mass can be quantified as n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit. A physical quantity possesses at least two characteristics in common, one is numerical magnitude and other is the unit in which it is measured.

A car travelling at 15 m/s comes to rest in a distance of 14 m when the brakes are applied.
stira [4]

Answer:

-8.04 m/s2

Explanation:

To find the answer to this, you have to use the 4th kinematic equation:

v^{2} = v^{2}_{0}  + 2ax

You plug into the equation to get:

0 = 15^{2} + 2a(14)

solve for a to get

-8.04 m/s2
