Answer:

Specific heat capacity, = 1.2942 J/g°C

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Heat capacity = 685 J

Mass = 7.9 g

Initial temperature = 31°C

Final temperature = 98°C

To find the specific heat capacity of the substance;

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 = 98 - 31

dt = 67°C

Making c the subject of formula, we have;

c = \frac {Q}{mdt}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

c = \frac {685}{7.9*67}

c = \frac {685}{529.3}

Specific heat capacity, = 1.2942 J/g°C

A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a
sattari [20]

Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.

Alex pushes on a 2.0 kg book, resulting in a net force of 6.0 N on the book.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

<h2>3.0 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a  = \frac{f}{m}  \\

From the question we have

a =  \frac{6}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.0 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the direction of the current flowing through the wire------left or right?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The direction in which a positive charge would move.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.
