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 person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 35.0 min
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

Solution:

Let the time be

t1=35min = 0.58min

t2=10min=0.166min

t3=45min= 0.75min

t4=35min= 0.58min

let the velocities be

v1=100km/h

v2=55km/h

v3=35km/h

a. Determine the average speed for the trip. km/h

first we have to solve for the distance

S=s1+s2+s3

S= v1t1+v2t2+v3t3

S= 100*0.58+55*0.166+35*0.75

S=58+9.13+26.25

S=93.38km

V=S/t1+t2+t3+t4

V=93.38/0.58+0.166+0.75+0.58

V=93.38/2.076

V=44.98km/h

b. the distance is 93.38km

Which of Galileo’s discoveries were later used in Newton’s laws?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a moving object will keep moving if not stopped

the sun being at the center of the solar system

Explanation:

Galileo is known for being the first person make a telescope, there fore being the first person to see that the sun is in the center of the solar system. he also came up with the theory that if something is pushed, it would keep moving until stopped by another force. For example, say you drop your pencil, it keeps falling until it hits the ground. That is exactly what Galileo did in his  Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment and found that theory to be true.

A carnival ride accelerates upwards at 2.5 m/s. what is the apparent weight of a 35 kg child on the ride
geniusboy [140]

The apparent weight of the child is 437.5 N.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The weight of a person/object moving up with an acceleration "a" is given by

W = m (g + a)

where,

W = apparent weight

m = mass of the person/object

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

a = acceleration of the object/person

Given,

m = 35 kg

a = 2.5 m/s²

To find,

W =?

Put the value sin the formula,

W = m (g + a)

W = 35 (10 + 2.5)

   = 35 (12.5)

   = 437.5 N

Therefore, the apparent weight of the child is 437.5 N.

Which of the following statements are true?A. The decrease in the amplitude of an oscillation caused by dissipative forces is ca
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

right A, B, C, D

Explanation:

They ask which statements are true

A) Right. The decrease in amplitude is due to the dissipation of energy by friction and is called damping

B) Right. In resonant processes the amplitude of the oscillation increases, being a forced oscillation

C) Right. In a system with energy loss, the amplitude must decrease, therefore energy must be supplied to compensate for the loss.

D) Right. It is a resonant process the driving force keeps the oscillation of the system
