Answer:

It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

Explanation:

Specific gravity is also known as relative density.

To find the relative density of substance, you:

Divide the density of substance measured

And divide that by the density of the reference

1. Apply a constant force of 50 N directed to the right of the 50 kg Box. (2 pts)

kotegsom [21]

As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.

Then friction force = 80 Newtons but in the opposite direction.

Friction force = Mu * Normal force exerted by ground = Mu * weight of box

So we find Mu.

Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface

= Force of friction / weight = 80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163

When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is

= Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons

Calculate the average orbital speed of Ceres in

marin [14]

] Ceres is composed of rock and ice and is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity (though detailed analysis was required to exclude 4 Vesta). From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking once every 15 to 16 months,[21]hence even at its brightest it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies.

Solution A has a speciﬁc heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a speciﬁc heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start

fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

We have a formula for such condition,

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$ .....................................(1)

where:

$\Delta T$ = temperature difference

Q= heat energy

m= mass of the body

c= specific heat of the body

Proving mathematically:

According to the given conditions

we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. $m_A=m_B$

equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. $Q_A=Q_B$

specific heat of solution A, $c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

specific heat of solution B, $c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

$\Delta T_A$ & $\Delta T_B$ are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

$Q_A=Q_B$

$m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1$

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.
