Answer:

$2.6^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

When a substance is supplied with a certain amount of heat energy, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

Q is the amount of energy supplied

C is the specific heat of the substance

$\Delta T$ is the temperature change

In this problem:

Q = 758 J is the energy supplied

m = 0.750 kg is the mass of the sample

$C=385 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat of copper

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the increase in temperature:

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC}=\frac{758}{(0.750)(385)}=2.6^{\circ}C$

A man goes 150 m due east and then 200 m due north how far is he from starting point

grin007 [14]

Answer:

250 m

Explanation:

Since North and East are 90 degrees from each other, we can treat this as a right-angled triangle, with the distance in each direction being the sides and the distance from the starting point being the hypotenuse.

Hence, sqrt(150^2+200^2) = 250 m.

Hope this helped!

This is the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Gas

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different phases, they are:

- Solid

the phase of matter with fixed shape, high density and non-moving particles that are held together by strong bonds. Example of solids are stone and chalk

- Liquid

the phase of matter with loosely held particles that are held together and take up the shape of the containing vessel. Examples of liquid are water, orange juice

- Gas

This is the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume, rather its molecules travel rapidly and randomly within the containing vessel. Examples of gases are ammonia and oxygen

Thus, the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume is known as gas

a particle moves along the x axis with an acceleration of a=18t, where a has units if m/s2. if the particle at time t=0 is at th

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m

Explanation:

It is given that acceleration, a = 18 t, where t is the time.

We know that Velocity, $v = \int { a} \, dt$

Substituting value of a,

Velocity, $v = \int {18t} \, dt=\frac{18t^2}{2} +c=9t^2+c$

We know that at t = 0, v = -12 m/s

So, $9*0^2+c=-12\\ \\ c=-12m/s$

So velocity, $v = (9t^2-12)m/s$

We also know that displacement, $x = \int { v} \, dt$

Substituting value of v,

Displacement, $x=\int {(9t^2-12)} \, dt=\frac{9t^3}{3} -12t+c=3t^3-12t+c$

We know that at t = 0, particle is at origin, x =0.

So, $0=3*0^3-12*0+c\\ \\ c=0$

Displacement, $x = 3t^3-12t$

At t = 4 seconds

$x = 3*4^3-12*4=192--48=144m$

Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m

Why isn't Coulomb's law valid for dielectric objects, even if they are spherically symmetrical?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

The "traditional" form of Coulomb's law, explicitly the force between two point charges. To establish a similar relationship, you can use the integral form for a continuous charge distribution and calculate the field strength at a given point.

In the case of moving charges, we are in presence of a current, which generates magnetic effects that in turn exert force on moving charges, therefore, no longer can consider only the electrostatic force.
