Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy $E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J$

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}$

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

$\Delta T$ = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

$c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}$

$c=14.8\ J/kg. K$

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

A solar panel measures 0.57 m by 1.3 m. In direct sunlight, the panel delivers 6.6 A at 6 V. If the intensity of sunlight is 300

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

efficiency of solar panel is 18%

Explanation:

Energy received by the sunlight is given as

$Power = intensity \times area$

here we know the dimensions of the plate as

$L = 0.57 m$

$W = 1.3 m$

now we have

$Area = (0.57)(1.3) m^2$

$A = 0.741 m^2$

now the power received by the sun light is given as

$P_1 = 0.741(300) = 222.3 W$

now the output power due to solar panel is given as

$P_{out} = V i$

$P_{out} = (6.6 A)(6 V)$

$P_{out} = 39.6 Watt$

now the efficiency is given as

$\eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}$

$\eta = \frac{39.6}{222.3}$

$\eta = 0.18$

An experiment is performed to test the effect of three different types of water on the growth of a plant. The test is done by us

natima [27]

I think the correct answer would be D. The tap water in the experiment is one the three test conditions of the independent variable, the type of water. The independent variable in a experiment is the one being manipulated or the one being changed. In this case, it is the type of water.

13. Describe the molecules of a solid in terms of kinetic energy.

Y_Kistochka [10]

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

What are some possible examples of genetic characteristics that can be passed down to child??????

elena-s [515]

They can have a close similar appearance to the parents, have close relation of child reactions.

for example, everyone born in my father's side of the family had the tendency to bump their head on something as they fall asleep up to the point when you are a toddler.

You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d) $539.55\mu$

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle $2\pi$ of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

$\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s$

(a)The speed is

$v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s$

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

$a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2$

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

$F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N$

(d) let the coefficient of friction by $\mu$ . The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

$F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu$
