The formula shown below is used to calculate the energy released when a specific quantity of fuel is burned. Calculate the energ

y released by a burning sample of fuel if the temperature of 100g of water was raised by 20 °C. (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200J/kg °C)

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

Q=m. c. \Delta T  

Where:

Q  is the thermal energy

m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg is the mass  of the water sample

c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}  is the specific heat capacity of  water

\Delta T=20\°C  is the variation in temperature

Solving:

Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)  

Q=8400 J  This is the thermal energy released

The main water line enters a house on the first floor. The line has a gauge pressure of 1.94 x 105 Pa. (a) A faucet on the secon
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer

given,

gauge pressure =   1.94 x 10⁵ Pa

Pressure due to 4.90 m column of water

= ρ g h

= (4.90) x  (1000)  x (9.8) Pa

= 48020 Pa

Gauge pressure of second floor faucet

= 1.94 x 10⁵Pa - 48020 Pa

P_g= 145980 Pa

( b )

Let h = height of faucet from which no water can flow even if open

P = ρ g h

1.94 x 10⁵  = h x(1000) x (9.8)

h = 19.79 m

What best describes the direction of the electric field on a spherical equipotential surface?
Alla [95]

Answer:

Perpendicular to the surface

Explanation:

- Electric field lines represent the direction of the electric field. The electric field lines also correspond to the direction along which the gradient of the electric potential is maximum.

- Equipotentials are lines or surfaces along which the electric potential is constant: the electric potential does not change moving along an equipotential surface.

Given the two definitions, equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field lines. Therefore, in this problem, the direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the spherical equipotential surface.

An object that has kinetic energy must what ?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

An object that has kinetic energy must be <em>moving</em>.

The formula for an object's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) · (the object's mass) · <u><em>(the object's speed)²</em></u>

As you can see from the formula, if the object has no speed, then its kinetic energy is zero.  That's why kinetic energy is usually called the "energy of motion", and if an object HAS kinetic energy, then that tells you right away that it must be moving.
