How much heat is needed to warm 0.072kg of gold from 20 celsius and 90 celsius if the specific heat of gold 136 joules

dybincka [34]

Heat supplied to the gold will raise the temperature of the gold from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius.

Mass of the gold (m) = 0.072 kg

Temperature change (ΔT) = 90 - 20 = 70 degree Celsius

Specific heat capacity of the gold (c) = 136 J/kg C

Heat supplied = m × c × ΔT

Heat supplied = 0.072 × 136 × 70

Heat supplied = 685.44 Joules

Hence, the heat supplied to the gold to raise the temperature from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius = 685.44 Joules

Solution A has a speciﬁc heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a speciﬁc heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start

fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

We have a formula for such condition,

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$ .....................................(1)

where:

$\Delta T$ = temperature difference

Q= heat energy

m= mass of the body

c= specific heat of the body

Proving mathematically:

According to the given conditions

we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. $m_A=m_B$

equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. $Q_A=Q_B$

specific heat of solution A, $c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

specific heat of solution B, $c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

$\Delta T_A$ & $\Delta T_B$ are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

$Q_A=Q_B$

$m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1$

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom

ycow [4]

I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure

By quadrupling the mass of the body hanging on the thread what will become the period of oscillation?

nikklg [1K]

Well, the tension in the thread will probably quadruple, but the hanging body will continue to just hang there.

The question gives us no evidence that it is doing any oscillating, and there's no reason for it to start just because it suddenly got heavier.

A parallel-plate capacitor stores charge Q. The capacitor is then disconnected from its voltage source, and the space between th

Stells [14]

Answer:

The relationship between the initial stored energy $PE_{i}$ and the stored energy after the dielectric is inserted $PE_{f}$ is:

c) $PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

Explanation:

A parallel plate capacitor with $C_{o}$ that is connected to a voltage source $V_{o}$ holds a charge of $Q_{o} =C_{o} V_{o}$ . Then we disconnect the voltage source and keep the charge $Q_{o}$ constant . If we insert a dielectric of $\kappa=2$ between the plates while we keep the charge constant, we found that the potential decreases as:
