The size of the forces between you and the planet you're on is
your weight on that planet.
Don't forget that you pull the planet with a force equal to the force
that the planet pulls on you. Your weight on Earth is the same as
the Earth's weight on you !
Answer:
The unknown substance is Aluminum.
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the change in the temperature of substance. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 ⁰C
Final temperature (T₂) = 100 ⁰C
Change in temperature (ΔT) =?
ΔT = T₂ – T₁
ΔT = 100 – 25
ΔT = 75 ⁰C
Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance. This can be obtained as follow:
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 75 ⁰C
Mass of the substance (M) = 135 g
Heat (Q) gained = 9133 J
Specific heat capacity (C) of substance =?
Q = MCΔT
9133 = 135 × C × 75
9133 = 10125 × C
Divide both side by 10125
C = 9133 / 10125
C = 0.902 J/gºC
Thus, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.902 J/gºC
Comparing the specific heat capacity (i.e 0.902 J/gºC) of substance to those given in the table above, we can see clearly that the unknown substance is aluminum.
I believe it is true . Somebody correct me if I’m wrong!
