To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula
c = E / m△T
Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.
Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.
c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200
Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1
<u>We call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance as phase change or change of state.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
To change a substance from one state to another, extreme temperatures or pressures are required. Sometimes when a substance doesn't change states we should use all the ideas when that happens. To create a solid, we should decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.
Phase changes happen when a substance reach some special points. Sometimes when a liquid becomes a solid a freezing point or melting point is used to measure the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Some of the phase changes are: Condensation, Freezing, Melting.
Answer:
78 km/h
Explanation:
If I normally drive a 12 hour trip at an average speed of 100 km/h, my destination has a total distance of:
- 100 km/h · 12 h = 1,200 km
Today, I drive the first 2/3 of the distance at 116 km/h. Let's first calculate what 2/3 of the normal distance is.
I've driven 800 km already. I need to drive 400 km more to reach my final destination. I need to figure out my average speed during this last 1/3 of the distance.
To do this, I first need to calculate how much time I spent driving 116 km/h for the past 800 km.
- 116 km/1 h = 800 km/? h
- 800 = 116 · ?
- ? = 800/116
- ? = 6.89655172
I spent 6.89655172 hours driving during the first 2/3 of the distance.
Now, I need to subtract this value from 12 hours to find the remaining time I have left.
- 12 h - 6.89655172 h = 5.10344828 h
Using this remaining time and my remaining distance, I can calculate my average speed.
- ? km/1 hr = 400 km/5.10344828 h
- 5.10344828 · ? = 400
- ? = 400/5.10344828
- ? = 78.3783783148
My average speed during the last third of the distance is around 78 km/h.
