Explain the differences between ‘latent heat’ and ‘specific heat capacity’

Physics
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Specific heat: = energy required to change a unit mass of a material by 1°C. Units: energy per unit mass per degree.

Latent heat = energy required to change the state (gas, liquid, solid) of a unit mass of material. Units: energy per unit mass.

The graph below shows the energy sources used to generate electricity in the United States.
DedPeter [7]

The correct answer is - D. 1 percent.

The United States are the biggest consumer of electricity in the world. Because of that the United States are using multiple different sources in order to satisfy the demand for the electricity. The solar energy though accounts for only 1% of the total amount of produced electricity in the country and that is concerning. The biggest concern of course is the environmental one as the majority of the electricity is produced by sources that are polluting the environment. The other concern is that the United States are not using their potential in gaining more electricity from the solar radiation when taken in account that they have very large areas in the country that have a lot of intense solar radiation and clear skies throughout most of the year.

An asteroid, whose mass is 3.6 × 10-4 times the mass of Earth, revolves in a circular orbit around the Sun at a distance that is
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) 2.02 years

b) 8.1 x 10⁻⁸.

Explanation:

Time period of a rotating body T² is proportional to radius of orbit R³ So

T₁² / T₂² = R₁³ /R₂³ ( T₁ and R₁ is time period and radius of orbit of the earth .)

1² / T₂² =( 1/1.6)³

T₂ = 2.02 years.

Kinetic energy of an orbiting body = 1/2 m v₀² ( v₀ is orbital speed)

= 1/2 m x 2 g R = m x G m/R² X R= m² x G /R

Kinetic energy of asteroid K₁ / kinetic energy of earth K₂ =

(mass of asteroid/mass of earth)² x( radius of earth / radius of asteroid)

=( 3.6 x 10⁻⁴)² x 1/1.6 = 8.1 x 10⁻⁸ .

The density of an object has the equation d = m/v. if an object has a mass of
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.92 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density  =  \frac{2.5}{1.3}  \\  = 1.923...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.92 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
