How much energy is required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (liter) of water 1°c?
Gnoma [55]

Heat required in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
Heat = 1 kg (4.18 kJ / kg C)( 1 C)
<span>Heat = 4.18 kJ energy needed</span></span>

While riding in a moving car, you toss an egg directly upward. Does the egg tend to land behind you, in front of you, or back in
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

The movement of a body can be analyzed using New's first law. In an inertial frame (without acceleration) every body is kept at rest or moving at constant speed until there is an external force that changes this state

Let's analyze these cases in the framework of this first law

a) If the vehicle is going at constant speed the two bodies (the egg and the hands) do not change movement so he had returned to the hands

b) If the vehicle accelerates the passenger goes faster, but the egg that is not subject to anything does not change the movement, so it falls behind the passenger

c) If the vehicle slows down, the passenger reduces its speed and the distance traveled in time, but the egg that is not attached follows its movement and falls in front of the passenger.

A 10.0g piece of copper wire, sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 80.0 C. how many Joules are released when the copper c
Zolol [24]

Answer:

150.8 J

Explanation:

The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where:

m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire

Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper

\Delta T=40.0 C - 80.0 C=-40.0 C is the change in temperature of the wire

Substituting into the equation, we find

Q=(10.0 g)(0.377 J/gC)(-40.0^{\circ})=-150.8 J

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is about 2.5 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
Ann [662]

Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

W=m\times g

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g

\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}

W'=2.5\times W

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

  • The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
  • Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
  • Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
