Does specific heat change with mass?

1 answer:

7 0

Heat capacity ( C ) does change with mass. However, specific heat is the heatcapacity per unit mass ( c=Cm ). Therefore if you double the amount of mass in your system, you've doubled its heat capacity, but you've kept the specific heat the same. ... Specific gravity is another such quantity.

A ball rolls horizontally off a table of height 0.6 m with a speed of 9 m/s. How long does it take the ball to reach the ground?

denis23 [38]

Answer: 0.067 s

Explanation:s = Ut + 1/2at^2

0.6 = 9t + 0.5 *10 *t^2

Where a = g =10m/s/s

Solving the quadratic equation

5t^2 + 9t - 0.6=0,

t= 0.067 s and - 1.7 s

Of which 0.067 s is a valid time

The product of charge through, and potential across, an electrical device is:

melomori [17]

The option is Work.

The product of charge and potential is equal to the energy. Adn, as we know work is related to energy as the capacity to do work.

Alos, because, Potential is given as, V = E/q
or E = Vq
Thus, the product of charge through, and potential across, an electrical device is:work

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T, by

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

$v = \omega A$

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

$v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}$

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

$v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}$

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

$v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah$
