Answer:

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C  - 100°C   = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Which change would decrease the total current, I, flowing through this circuit?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

A. Increasing the voltage of the battery

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage, V, current, I and resistance, R, is given as follows;

V = I × R

∴ I = V/R

From the above relationship, the current flowing in the circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the battery, and inversely proportional to the resistance, 'R', of the circuit

Therefore, increasing the voltage, 'V', of the battery, increases the total current, 'I', flowing in the circuit.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because
maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two  light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as E = mc^{2} where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

                                                      H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                      H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy

                                                      He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

Here e_{+1} ^{0} is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e 10^{6} K

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

1. A large ball was let go on a hill and started rolling down with a constant acceleration of 4.2 m/s². What was the velocity of
pochemuha

Answer:

<em>The velocity after 12s is 50.4m/s</em>.

Explanation:

<em>In acceleration formula make velocity the </em><em>subject.</em>

<em> acceleration(a) = velocity(</em>v)÷time(t)

<h3><em> </em><em>velocity</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>v)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>acceleration</em><em>(</em><em>a)</em><em>×</em><em>t</em><em>ime</em><em>(</em><em>t)</em></h3>

<em>V </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>.</em><em>2</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s²</em><em>×</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>s</em>

<em>V </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>4</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em> the</em><em> </em><em>velocity</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>4</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s.</em>
