According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:
H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.
So the law of conservation of heat tells that:
Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X
Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.
The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out.
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766
Adjacent/Hypotenuse
x/120 = cos40
Answer: 91.92533.
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.
Because the charges of static electricity and the eons coming from your hair pull together to make the balloon stick
Answer = 6.24x10^18 x ((2 x 3600) + (47 x 60) + 10)
Answer:
meter, kilogram
Explanation:
Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.
The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.
The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.
The other options are wrong because:
- The second is the unit of time
- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity
- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases
- The ampere is the unit of the current
