Answer:
944.12 J
Explanation:
To solve for the energy change we use the equation Q=mc(Delta)t
Let's identify the variables we have:
m (mass) = 49.2 g
c (specific heat) = .4494
delta t (change in temp.) = final - initial = 58.9-16.2 = 42.7 degrees Celsius
Q= (49.2)(.4494)(42.7)
= 944.12 J
1) 1 second = 1000000 microseconds
2) 186000 / 1.61 = 115527.9503 Km
3) We use the equation:
Speed = distance / time
4) rearrange for distance by multiplying both sides by time to get;
Distance = speed x time
5) plug in the values:
Distance = 115527.9503 x 0.000001
= 0.1155279503 Km
