a. The specific heat of the sample is approximately 0.803 J/g°C.
b. Since the specific heat of the unknown substance is much lower than that of water and higher than that of metals, it is likely a non-metallic substance.
a. To determine the specific heat of the sample, we can use the formula:
Q = mcΔT
where Q is the energy released, m is the mass of the sample, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
Substituting the given values, we get:
963.6 J = (120.0 g) c (80.0°C - 90.0°C)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
c = 963.6 J / (120.0 g * 10.0°C)
c ≈ 0.803 J/g°C
b. To identify the substance, we can compare its specific heat to the specific heats of known substances. Here are some common substances and their specific heats:
Water: 4.184 J/g°C
Aluminum: 0.900 J/g°C
Iron: 0.449 J/g°C
Copper: 0.385 J/g°C
Since the specific heat of the unknown substance is much lower than that of water and higher than that of metals, it is likely a non-metallic substance.

The specific heat of the unknown substance is 1.61 J/g°C. The substance is most likely water.
To calculate the specific heat of the unknown substance, we can use the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the energy released, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Rearranging this formula to solve for c, we get c = Q/(mΔT). Substituting the given values, we get c = 963.6 J/(120.0 g × 10.0°C) = 1.61 J/g°C.
Water has a specific heat of 4.18 J/g°C, which is much higher than the specific heat of the unknown substance. This suggests that the unknown substance is not water. Looking at the table of specific heats for various substances, we can see that the specific heat of aluminum (0.90 J/g°C) and copper (0.39 J/g°C) are much lower than the specific heat of the unknown substance, so they can be ruled out. The specific heat of ethanol (2.44 J/g°C) is closer to the specific heat of the unknown substance, but still higher. Therefore, the unknown substance is most likely water, which has a specific heat of 4.18 J/g°C.

Based from the flow chart, what can you generalize about the formation of typhoons? How do typhoons develop?
Answer: Warm water from the ocean is needed to develop typhoon
Pls Rate this as Brilliant Answer thank you :) keep on learning
Typhoons form when strong winds blow into warm areas of the ocean. These winds pick up moisture and rise, bringing colder air with them. This creates pressure, causing the winds to move quickly. The winds revolve or spin around a central point known as an eye.
What is typhoon ?A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that forms in the Northern Hemisphere between 180° and 100°E. The Northwestern Pacific Basin is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for nearly one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.
The Philippines is just above the equator and faces the western Pacific, with little else to absorb storm energy before it reaches land. Storms are fueled by warm, tropical waters, which produce approximately 20 typhoons per year.
Hurricanes and typhoons can wreak havoc on coastlines and hundreds of miles inland. They can generate winds of up to 155 mph, as well as tornadoes and microbursts.
Thus, Typhoons form when strong winds blow into warm areas of the ocean.

Explanation:
if a person is 6.25 m away from a 60.0 w speaker, what is the sound level they are hearing?
(treat the speaker as a point source.)
Answer:
111dB
Explanation:
First, find the intensity of the sound using the formula I = Power / 4 x pi x radius ^2
So
60.0 / (4 x 3.14 (6.25)^2)
= 0.122
Then plug that into the equation to find sound level, which is 10log( I / Io)
Io being (1 x 10^-12)
So
10log(0.122 / 1 x 10^-12)
= 111dB

Someone Help me please
Answer:
a) Yes because spiderman isn’t part of the system (the train), so he exerts an external force on the system, causing it to slow. The sign is negative because the train is slowing negative.
b) The train was initially moving, so it had kinetic energy, the energy of movement. There isn’t the same amount anymore because spiderman did work onto the train. Work is defined by the change of kinetic energy of the system, so the train didn’t have the same amount of that type of energy at the end.

A spring with k = 33.5 N/m has a
1.20 kg mass attached. It is pulled
0.120 m and released. How much
mechanical energy does it have?
(Unit = J)
Answer:
M.E = 0.241 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Spring constant, k = 33.5 N/m
Extension, e = 0.12m
Mass = 1.20kg
To find the mechanical energy (M.E);
Mathematically, mechanical energy is given by this formula;
M.E = ½ke²
Where;
k is the constant of elasticity (spring constant). e is the extension of the string.Substituting into the equation, we have;
M.E = ½*33.5*0.12²
M.E = ½*33.5*0.0144
M.E = 0.4824/2
M.E = 0.241 Joules.

Explain how the readings on both meters change when the environmental conditions change.
Help please :'0
Answer:
* Temperature changes
* Changes in the tension
* Errors in the meter marks
Explanation:
When we are using several meters to make a measurement we have several aspects that can cause the readings to differ.
* Temperature changes make the dilation between readings different, at higher temperatures the material of the meter expands and the reading decreases.
* Changes in the tension with which the meter is pulled to keep it straight, in general all materials bend under the action of gravity, so you have to pull them to make them straight, if the forces are different from the material is lengthened decide Young's modulus, inducing different readings
* Errors in the meter marks, especially in the initial part that is covered by a hook, different positions of the hook change the readings.
* Structural problems, such as rust, bends that create changes in the length of the meter material.
According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, as the mass or one or both bodies increases, what happens to the force of attraction between the bodies?
force decreases
causes no change
force increases
Answer:
force increases
Explanation:
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction (gravity) acting between the Earth and all physical objects is directly proportional to the Earth's mass, directly proportional to the physical object's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the Earth's center and that physical object.
According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, as the mass or one or both bodies increases, the force of attraction between the bodies increases.
Mathematically, this is given by the Newton's Second Law of Motion;
Force = mass * acceleration.

Answer:
99 joules.
Explanation:
Let m denotes mass of the object and v denotes velocity.
If mass has units of kilograms and the velocity has units of meters per second then the kinetic energy has units of joules.
Kinetic energy is an energy possessed by a body in motion.
Mass (m) = 99 kg
Velocity (v) = 2 m/s
To find kinetic energy, use the following formula:
Kinetic energy = [tex]\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(99)(2)=99[/tex] joules
The power generated by the engine was just 2.984 KW. How long would this engine have to run to produce 3.60 × 104 J of work?
1 watt = 1 joule/second
1 KW = 1,000 joule/second
Work = (power) x (time)
3.6 x 10⁴ J = (2,984 joules/second) x (time)
time = (3.6 x 10⁴J) / (2,984 J/s)
time = (36,000J) / (2,984 J/s)
time = 12.06 seconds

Let the displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200). Find the total displacement, instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration
Answer:
A.) 39.5 m
B.) 0
C.) 60m/s^2
Explanation:
Given that a displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200).
To Find the total displacement,
Reduce everything by dividing them by 5
X(t) = 4t^2 - 3t + 40 ...... (1)
For instantaneous velocity, differentiate x(t). That is,
dy/dt = 60t - 15 ...... (2)
But dy/dt = velocity.
If dy/dt = 0, then
60t - 15 = 0
60t = 15
t = 15/60
t = 0.25s
Substitutes t in equation (1)
Total displacement will be
X(t) = 4(0.25)^2 - 3(0.25) + 40
X(t) = 0.25 - 0.75 + 40
Total displacement = 39.5 m
To calculate instantaneous velocity, substitute t into equation (2)
V = 60 (0.25) - 15
V = 0.
and to find instantaneous acceleration, differentiate dv/dt
dv/dt = 60
Therefore, acceleration = 60 m/s^2

Three identical resistors have an equivalent resistance 15.6 ohm when they are connected in series. What is the resistance for each resistor
Answer:
5.2 Ω.
Explanation:
What is the resistance for each resistor
Since the resistors are connected in series and each have resistance R, and their equivalent resistance is R' = 15.6 Ω.
Since they are connected in series, R' = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
Since R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R
R' = R + R + R = 3R
R' = 3R
R = R'/3
R = 15.6 Ω/3
R = 5.2 Ω
So, the resistance of each resistor is 5.2 Ω.
