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.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

Explanation: Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. I am so sorry if I get this wrong, I'm in 5th grade! ♥

2. What value did you calculate for the index of refraction of the acrylic block in Part 2? How does your value compare to the a
lesya [120]

The percentage error in calculated value of the refractive index of acrylic block is calculated using the formula: (true value - calculated value/true value) × 100%.

<h3>What is refractive index of a refracting medium?</h3>

The refractive index of a medium is the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence on the medium and the sine of the angle of refraction.

  • Refractive index = sin i/sin r

where;

  • i is the angle of incidence
  • r is angle of refraction.

The refractive index of a medium increases with density of the medium.

To determine the percentage error in determining the refractive index of a medium, the following formula is used:

  • Percent error = error/true value × 100%

Therefore, the percentage error in calculated value of the refractive index of acrylic block is the ratio of the error and true value multiplied by 100%.
