Weight = mass*gravity. Hence mass = 980/9.8 = 100kg. Gravity of planet 2 = weight/mass = 3.6 m/s^2

A 0.500 kg aluminum pan on a stove is used to heat 0.250 liters of water from 20.0ºC to 80.0ºC. (a) How much heatis required? Wh

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

heat used to rise temperature pan = 30.1%

heat used to rise temperature water = 69.9%

Explanation:

Given data

mass of water = 0.250 liter = 0.250 kg

aluminum pan mass = 0.500 kg

initial temperature = 20.0ºC

final temperature = 80.0ºC

to find out

heat used to rise temperature of pan and water

solution

we find here heat transferred to the water that is

heat transferred to the water = mass of water × specific heat of water × change in temperature ...........1

specific heat of water is 4186 J/kgºC

so

heat transferred to the water = 0.250 × 4186 × (80-20) kJ

heat transferred to the water = 62.8 kJ

and

heat transferred to the aluminum that is

heat transferred to the aluminum = mass of aluminum × specific heat of aluminum × change in temperature ...........2

here specific heat of aluminum is 900 J/kgºC

heat transferred to the aluminum = 0.500 × 900 × (80-20) kJ

heat transferred to the aluminum = 27 kJ

so

total heat = 62.8 + 27 = 89.8 kJ

so

heat used to rise temperature pan = 27/89.8 ×100% = 30.1%

heat used to rise temperature water = 62.8 / 89.8 ×100% = 69.9%

Two 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm electrodes are held 0.10 mm apart and are attached to 7.5 V battery. Without disconnecting the battery, a 0.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

A) V = 7.5 V

B) E = 75,000 V/m

C) Q = 16.6 pC

D) V = 7.5 V

E) E = 24,000 V/m

F) Q = 52 pC

Explanation:

Given:

- The Area of plate A = ( 5 x 5 ) mm^2

- The distance between plates d = 0.10 mm

- The thickness of Mylar added t = 0.10 mm

- Voltage supplied by battery V = 7.5 V

Solution:

A) What is the capacitor's potential difference before the Mylar is inserted?

- The potential difference across the two plates is equal to the voltage provided by the battery V = 7.5 V which remains constant throughout.

B) What is the capacitor's electric field before the Mylar is inserted?

- The Electric Field E between the capacitor plates is given by:

E = V / k*d

k = 1 (air) E = 7.5 / 0.10*10^-3

E = 75,000 V/m

C) What is the capacitor's charge Q before the Mylar is inserted?

C = k*A*ε / d

k = 1 (air) C = ( 0.005^2 * 8.85*10^-12 ) / 0.0001

C = 2.213 pF

Q = C*V

Q = 7.5*(2.213)

Q = 16.6 pC

D) What is the capacitor's potential difference after the Mylar is inserted?

- The potential difference across the two plates is equal to the voltage provided by the battery V = 7.5 V which remains constant throughout.

E) What is the capacitor's electric field after the Mylar is inserted?

- The Electric Field E between the capacitor plates is given by:

E = V / k*d

k = 3.13 E = 7.5 / (3.13)0.10*10^-3

E = 24,000 V/m

F) What is the capacitor's charge after the Mylar is inserted?

C = k*A*ε / d

k = 3.13 C = 3.13*( 0.005^2 * 8.85*10^-12 ) / 0.0001

C = 6.927 pF

Q = C*V

Q = 7.5*(6.927)

Q = 52 pC

Gravity is the force that keeps us on the Earth. It pulls us towards the center of the Earth. If you were to move from the surfa

Nikitich [7]

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:

$U_{p}=mgh$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g$ the acceleration due gravity and $h$ the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of $U_{p}$ is directly proportional to the height.
