A block of aluminum weighing 100g is cooled from 108.4°C to 68.2°C with the release of 1080 joules of heat. From this data, calculate the
specific heat of aluminum

Specific heat of aluminum  = 0.27 j/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 100 g

Initial temperature = 108.4°C

Final temperature = 68.2°C

Heat released = -1080 j

Specific heat of aluminum = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  68.2°C -  108.4°C

ΔT = - 40.2°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

-1080 j = 100 g ×c ×- 40.2°C

-1080 j = -4020 g.°C ×c

c = -1080 j/-4020 g.°C

c = 0.27 j/g.°C

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
