The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 2kg object from 15°C to 25°C is 34000J.

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:

The amount of heat absorbed by an object can be calculated by using the following expression:

Q = m.c.∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released (J)
m = mass of object
c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)
∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to this question, 2 kg object has a specific heat capacity of 1,700J/kg°C and was raised from a temperature of 15 Celsius to 25 Celsius. The heat absorbed is calculated as follows:

Q = 2 × 1700 × {25 - 15}

Q = 3400 × 10

Q = 34000J

Therefore, the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 2kg object from 15°C to 25°C is 34000J.

A girl picks up a bag of apples that are at rest on the floor. How dose the force the girl applies compare to the force of gravi

AysviL [449]

Answer:

When the bag of apples are on the floor, the force of gravity is equal to the force applied in the upward direction.

But when the girl picks up the bag of apples, she applies a force on the bag of apples in the upward direction greater than that of the gravitational force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force for an object is always constant at a specific point. When an object is in the state of rest, there is an equal force opposite to the direction of Gravitational Force.

Now, to lift an object upwards, an external force must be applied that is greater than the force of gravitation.

So, when the girl picks up the bag of apples,

Gravitational Force < Force applied by the girl to lift the bag.

How do spectroscopes help with studying of distance stars?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

You take the light from a star, planet or galaxy and pass it through a spectroscope, which is a bit like a prism letting you split the light into its component colours. "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source. From this you can work out all sorts of things," says Watson

Complete Question

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick

Answer:

The largest total area of the oil slick $A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of oil the escaped is $V = 18000 \ L$

The refractive index of oil is $n_o = 1.1$

The refractive index of water is $n_w = 1.33$

The wavelength of the light is $\lambda = 485 \ nm = 485 * 10^{-9} \ m$

Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

$d = m *\frac{\lambda}{2n_w}$

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n

It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question

substituting value

$d = 1 * \frac{485 *10^{-9}}{2 * 1.1}$

$d = 218 nm$

The are can be mathematically evaluated as

$A = \frac{V}{d}$

Substituting values

$A = \frac{18000}{218*10^{-8}}$

$A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2$

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?

Degger [83]

There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>
