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 flatbed truck is supported by its four drive wheels, and is moving with an acceleration of 6.3 m/s2. For what value of the coe

Levart [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

Explanation:

We have given acceleration $a=6.3m/sec^2$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We have to find the coefficient of static friction between truck and a cabinet will

We know that acceleration is equal to $a=\mu g$ , here $\mu$ is coefficient of static friction and g is acceleration due to gravity

So $\mu =\frac{a}{g}=\frac{6.3}{9.8}=0.642$

So coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

A copper telephone wire has essentially

Lunna [17]

Answer:

128.21 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial temperature (θ₁) = 4 °C

Final temperature (θ₂) = 43 °C

Change in length (ΔL) = 8.5 cm

Coefficient of linear expansion (α) = 17×10¯⁶ K¯¹)

Original length (L₁) =.?

The original length can be obtained as follow:

α = ΔL / L₁(θ₂ – θ₁)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(43 – 4)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(39)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / 39L₁

Cross multiply

17×10¯⁶ × 39L₁ = 8.5

6.63×10¯⁴ L₁ = 8.5

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 8.5 / 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 12820.51 cm

Finally, we shall convert 12820.51 cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

12820.51 cm = 12820.51 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

12820.51 cm = 128.21 m

Thus, the original length of the wire is 128.21 m

Explain the difference between the terms "rotation" and "revolution"

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.
