Which property helps to explain differences in the specific heat capacities of

Answer:

D. Forces between molecules

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of water can be defined as the amount of heat a gram of water must lose or absorb in order to change its temperature by a degree Celsius. It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). Generally, the specific heat capacity of water is 4.182J/kg°C and is the highest among liquids.

Mathematically, the specific heat capacity of a substance is given by the formula;

c = \frac {Q}{mdt}

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Cohesion is a property of water and it typically refers to the attraction between molecules of water which holds them together.

In Science, the property which helps to explain differences in the specific heat capacities of two substances is the forces between molecules.

This ultimately implies that, the more closely bonded the atoms of a substance are, the higher or greater would be the substance's specific heat capacity. Thus, it varies for the various states of matter i.e solid, liquid and gas.

The resistance between 2 points in an electrical circuit is 1.1 Ω. What additional resistance
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

the new resister is 11 ohms.

Explanation:

Set it  up like this.

1/x + 1/1.1 = 1                    Subtract 1/1.1 from both sides

1/x = 1 - 1/1.1

1 - 1/1.1 = 1/11

1/x = 1/11                          Cross multiply

11 = x

If 1/11 bothers you, you could do it it another way.

1 - 1/1.1 = (1.1 - 1 ) / 1.1 = 0.1 / 1.1  Multiply top and bottom by 10

0.1*10/(1.1 * 10 ) = 1 / 11

Describe your acceleration as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk.
Paraphin [41]

Answer: when you increase or decrease your speed.

Explanation:

Moving a skate at rest, you need to apply force in order to cause acceleration.

F = ma Where

F = force applied

m = mass of the skate

a = acceleration

The initial velocity u will be equal to zero and the skate will acceleration to a certain velocity.

as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk, you will accelerate when you increase your speed. Because

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. That is,

Acceleration = change in velocity/ time.

And also, you will decelerate when you reduce the speed or velocity down your neighborhood sidewalk.

A firecracker breaks up into three pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

|P_3|=21.242m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=200g=0.2

Speed v=82.0m/s

Mass M_2=300g=0.3kg

Speed V_2=45.0m/s

Generally the equation for Magnitude of the Third piece is mathematically given by

P_1+P_2+P_3=0

|P_3|=|P_1+P_2|

Where

P_1=m_1v_1

P_1=0.2*82

P_1=16.4kgm/s

And

P_2=0.3*45

P_2=13.5kgm/s

Therefore

|P_3|=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}

|P_3|=21.242m/s

You hold a barbell in a horizontal position. The barbell’s center of mass is exactly mid-way between your two hands. A friend wa
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

First consider that each hand works as a fulcrum: a pivot point where the barbell can rotate.

Now consider only the left hand. If the center of mass of the barbell is between hands (in the middle) it is displaced respect the fulcrum, therefore the weight which is pushing the bar downwards becomes a rotational force. The same thing happens to the other hand. Now, if more weight is added to the left hand the center of mass is displaced towards the left hand and depending how much weight is added, the center of mass will change its position and therefore the torque each hand experiences changes.

If the center of mass is still between hands: The torque remains almost the same changing only the magnitudes but not the direction.

If the center of mass is on the hand: there is no torque for the left hand because there is no leaver.

If the center of mass is to the left: now the torque changes direction and both hands need to stop it in the same direction.
