Answer:

Q = 48341.7 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

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

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

$Q = 257*4.18*45$

Q = 48341.7 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 48341.7 Joules.

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): TYPE OF SOIL

Dependent variable (DV): HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES

Control group: None in this experiment

Constant: SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK)

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter in order to effect a measurable outcome. In this case, the independent variable is the TYPE OF SOIL used.

Dependent variable is the measurable variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES of each rose.

Constants or control variable is the variable that is kept unchanged or constant for all groups throughout the experiment. In this experiment, the constants are SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK).

Control group are the groups that does not receive the experimental treatment. In this case, all the groups received the experimental treatment (different soil types). Hence, there is no control

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$

$T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Sum of forces in x direction,

$T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ .............(1)

Also, $r=l\ sin\theta$

Equation (1) becomes :

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}$

$v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}$ ...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

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

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

On solving above equation :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

One molecule of bromine (Br2) and two molecules of potassium chloride (KCI) combine in a reaction. How many atoms are in the pro

Liula [17]

In the reaction between 1 molecule of bromine and 2 molecules of potassium chloride, there are six atoms in the products.

Let's consider the balanced equation for the reaction between 1 molecule of bromine and 2 molecules of potassium chloride. This is a single replacement reaction.

Br₂ + 2 KCl ⇒ 2 KBr + Cl₂

We obtain as products, 2 molecules of potassium bromide and 1 molecule of chlorine.
