Answer:

Q = 48341.7 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, m = 257g

Initial temperature, T1 = 18°C

Final temperature, T2 = 63°C

Specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C.

*To find the quantity of heat absorbed*

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

  • Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • c represents the specific heat capacity of water.
  • dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 63 - 18

dt = 45°C

<em>Substituting the values into the equation, we have;</em>

Q = 257*4.18*45

<em>Q = 48341.7 Joules.</em>

<em>Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 48341.7 Joules</em>.

Newly discovered planet has twice the mass and three times the radius of the earth. What is the free-fall acceleration at its su
skad [1K]

Answer:

g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

G = Gravitational constant

R = Radius of Earth

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

On new planet

g_n=\dfrac{G2M}{(3R)^2}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}

Dividing the two equations we get

\dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}}{\dfrac{GM}{R^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{2}{9}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

A race car traveling at 10 meters per second accelerates at 1.5 meters per second squared while moving a distance of 600 meters.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 10 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s^2

d = 600 m

vf = ?

Formula

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

Solution

vf^2 = 10^2 + 2*1.5 * 600

vf^2 = 100 + 1800

vf^2 = 1900

sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(1900)

vf = 43.59 m/s
