Specific heat is the amount of heat absorb or released by a substance to change the temperature to one degree Celsius. To determine the specific heat, we use the expression for the heat absorbed by the system. Heat gained or absorbed 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:
Heat = mC(T2-T1)
By substituting the given values, we can calculate for C which is the specific heat of the material.
2510 J = .158 kg ( 1000 g / 1 kg) (C) ( 61.0 - 32.0 °C)C = 0.5478 J / g °C
Remember the formula as per the second Law of Newton: F = m*a
And also remember that the weight is the force with which the mass is attracted by the planet (or satellite in the case of the moon).
With that information you can answer the questions:
a) Weight = F = m*a
m = 175 slugs = 175 lbm
i) Earth
a = 32.17 ft/s^2
Weight on Earth = 175 lbm * 32.17 ft / s^2 = 5,629.75 poundal
ii) Moon
a = [1/6] 32.17 ft/s^2
Weight on the Moon = [1/6]*5,629.75 poundal = 938.29 poundal
b) Force = 355 poundal
m = 25.0 slug
a in m/s^2 = ?
First calculate the force in ft/s^2
F = m*a => a = F/m = 355 poundal / 25.0 slug = 14.2 ft/s^2
Conversion:
14.2 ft / s^2 * [ 0.3048 m/ft] = 4.32816 m/s^2
Answer: 4.33 m/s^2
A) 5.2 x 10^2
B) 86.
C) 6.4 x 10^3
D) 5.0
E) 22.
F) 0.89
Answer:
Dysprosium [Dy]=![[Xe]4f^{10}6s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BXe%5D4f%5E%7B10%7D6s%5E2)
Americium [Am]=![[Rn]5f^77s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BRn%5D5f%5E77s%5E2)
Dysprosium is a chemical element with symbol Dy and atomic number of 66. It is a rare earth metal and as it contains partially filled f sub shells, it belongs to f block. Xe is the nearest noble gas and has atomic number of 54.
Americium is a chemical element with symbol Am and atomic number of 95. It is a rare earth metal and as it contains half filled f sub shells, it belongs to f block. Radon is the nearest noble gas and has atomic number of 86.
