Based on specific heat, lead will be warm up the fastest among all other elements.

Explanation:

The specific heat is defined as the amount of heat required per unit mass of the object to increase the temperature of the object by 1 °C.

The object will get warm up when the heat transfer from the sunlight to object occurs leading to increase in the temperature of object.

Thus, the specific heat of an object will be directly proportional to the added heat.

It can also be defined as the object with less specific heat requires less heat energy to get warm up.

This means the object with less specific heat will get warm up in sunlight the fastest.

As all the objects like  lead, copper, granite and iron are taken in equal masses, so the influence of mass on the addition of heat will be neglected as it will be same for all object. Only the specific heat will be changing for all object.  

The specific heat of lead is very low compared to granite, iron and copper. So lead will get heat up earlier or fastest in sunlight.

Answer is lead, lead will heat up the fastest as it has the highest specific heat amongst the choices. The higher the specific heat of the substance the easier it is for that substance temperature to change for every mole of substance with respect to a degree in kelvin.

A swimming pool contains x (less than 0.02) grams of chlorine per cubic meter. the pool measures 5 meters by 50 meters and is 2
zubka84 [21]
The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
so start by doing: 
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2) 
500x - xV + 5V = 10 
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x 
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

What is the best approximate value for the elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring elongated by 3.0 meters?
DIA [1.3K]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 6.8 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a compressed/stretched spring is given by the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the spring

The spring constant of the spring in this problem can be found by keeping in mind the relationship between force (F) and elongation (x) (Hooke's law):

F=kx

By looking at the graph and comparing it with the formula, we realize that the slope of the force-elongation graph corresponds to the spring constant. Therefore in this case,

k=\frac{15.0-0}{10.0-0}=1.5 N/m

Therefore when the spring has a elongation of x=3.0 m, its potential energy is

E=\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(3.0)^2=6.8 J

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

\Delta H = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}

n=0.221mol

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

A student must design an experiment to determine the relationship between the mass of an object and the resulting acceleration w
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

D) Slide an object of known mass across a rough surface, using a constant applied force that can be measured by a force sensor. Place a motion detector behind the object so that its speed can be measured as it slides across the surface. Repeat the experiment for different applied forces.

Explanation:

"The motion detector will provide information about the object’s speed as a function of time as it slides as a result of the applied force. The information about the object’s speed as a function of time can be used to determine the acceleration of the object. The force sensor measures the applied force exerted on the object, and the mass of the object is known. Therefore, this experiment can be used to determine how an object’s mass is related to the net force exerted on the object and the acceleration of the object."

It cannot be A because we need an acceleration will be determined by gravity.

It cannot be B because the term constant speed means that there is no net force, which is required by the initial question.

It cannot be C because the experiment is good for determining the coefficient of friction but not for determining how the mass relates to the acceleration.

It must be D because the object is moving and we have a motion detector, we can graph the acceleration vs time graph. So D allows you to have a lot of the different acceleration values which helps with determining the relationship between acceleration and the mass.
