Taking into account the definition of calorimetry and sensible heat, the amount of energy required is 68.8 J.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

<h3>Sensible heat</h3>

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

In this way, between heat and temperature there is a direct proportional relationship. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body and its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body.

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where:

  • Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m.
  • c is the specific heat substance.
  • ΔT is the temperature variation.

<h3>Energy required in this case</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • Q= ?
  • c= 0.215 \frac{J}{gC}
  • m= 20 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 88 C - 72 C= 16 C

Replacing in the definition of sensible heat:

Q = 0.215 \frac{J}{gC}× 20 g× 16 C

Solving:

<u><em>Q=68.8 J</em></u>

Finally, the amount of energy required is 68.8 J.

The charge per unit length on a long, straight filament is -92.0 μC/m. Find the electric field 10.0 cm above the filament.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C towards the filament

Explanation:

Electric field due to a line charge is given by the expression

E = [tex]\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\times\epsilon_0\times r}[/tex]

where λ is linear charge density of line charge , r is distance of given point from line charge and ε₀ is a constant called permittivity and whose value is

8.85 x 10⁻¹².

Putting the given values in the equation given above

E = \frac{92\times10^{-6}}{2\times3.14\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times10^{-1}}

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C

You skip north for 12 minutes to your best friend's house that is 1.5 kilometers away. What is your average velocity?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60  hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h

A certain nuclear power plant is capable of producing 1.2×10^9 W of electric power. During operation of the reactor, mass is con
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

0.00016 kg

Explanation:  

Given:

Power = P = 1.2 × 10⁹ Watts

Power =  work done / Time

efficiency = 0.30

Input power = 1.2 × 10⁹ / 0.30 =  4  × 10⁹ W

Energy =  4  × 10⁹ x 60 x 60 = 1.44 x 10¹³ joules

E = m c² , where c is the speed of light and m is the mass.

⇒ mass = m = E / c²  = (1.44 x 10¹³) / (3 × 10⁸ )²

                                   = 0.00016 kg
