You're sitting on a warm granite rock, enjoying the sunshine. You decide it's time to test the water. You take off your shoes and walk across the cool sand to the water. You wade into the water, enough to cover your feet. Brrr! The water is cold. You will have to wear a dry suit when you go diving.
a. Which item - the granite rock, the sand, or the water - has the highest specific heat? Which has the lowest specific heat?
b. Which item requires the least energy to increase its temperature? Explain your answer in terms of this item's specific heat.
c. If the granite rock on which you were sitting has a specific heat of 600 J/(kg°C), how much energy must be added to a 2-kilogram piece of it to increase its temperature from 20°C to 30°C? Show your work, including the equation you need to perform this calculation.
d. What is the second law of thermodynamics? Use this law to describe why your feet got cold, not hot, when you put them in the water.
Answer: seen below
Explanation:
a) Water has the highest specific heat capacity in this case while sand has the lowest specific heat capacity.
b) Sand absorb the least energy for it temperature change (increase or decrease). This means that their temperatures change more quickly due to it low specific heat capacity of 0.290J/g°C) at 25°C)
c) using the formula:
Q = m × cP × (final temperature -initial temperature)
where:
Q = heat
m = is the mass
cP = is the mass heat capacity,
T= is the temperature
Q = 2 kg × 600 J/(kg°C) × (30°C - 20°C)
Q = 12000 J
d) in simpler term, The second law of thermodynamics states that when energy changes from one form to another form, entropy The second law of thermodynamics says that when energy changes from one form to another form, or matter moves freely, entropy (which is a measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that cannot be used to do work) in a closed system increases. This is why your feet gets cold when you put them in the water.

A point charge (5.0 pC) is located at the center of a spherical surface (radius = 2.0 cm), and a charge of 3.0 pC is spread uniformly upon this surface. Determine the magnitude of the electric field 1.0 cm from the point charge.
Answer:
E = 0.45 kN/C
Explanation:
From; the question, we can opine that the electric field inside the hollow sphere as a result of the charge at the surface is zero.
Using the equation:
[tex]\mathbf{E = kq/r^2}[/tex] to determine the magnitude of the electric field with the radius 1.0 cm from the point charge.
where ;
constant k = [tex]8.98*10^9[/tex]
point charge q = 5.0 pC = 5.0 × 10⁻¹²; we have :
[tex]\mathbf{E = kq/r^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{E =\dfrac{8.98*10^9*5*10^{-12}}{1.0^2}}[/tex]
E = 0.45 kN/C

You are pushing a box up a ramp with 70 N of force. If the ramp is made steeper and shorter, what needs to happen to the box for it to continue moving?
Answer:
A larger force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving
Explanation:
A ramp is an inclined plane surface that is tilted to form a slope on its opposite sides
A ramp provides mechanical advantage or force amplification, by allowing less force to lift heavier load from having to move through a longer distance to reach a particular elevation when the slope of the ramp is gentle
Therefore, when the slope is steeper, and shorter, more force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving.
Answer:
your force needs to increase to more than 70 N

A small object begins a free-fall from a height of =81.5 m at 0=0 s . After τ=2.20 s , a second small object is launched vertically up from the ground with an initial velocity of 0=40.0 m/s . At what height from the ground will the two objects first meet?
Answer:
33.23 m
Explanation:
At the point where both objects will meet, the vertical height will be equal.
From the equations of motion, the vertical height of the body falling at any time is given as
(y - y₀) = ut + ½gt²
y = vertical height at any time T
y₀ = initial height of the object = 81.5 m
u = initial velocity = 0 m/s (body was dropped)
g = -9.8 m/s²
(y - 81.5) = 0 - 4.9T²
y = 81.5 - 4.9T² (eqn 1)
For an object thrown up, the vertical height of the body at any time, t, is given as
(y - y₀) = ut + ½gt²
y = vertical height of the object at any time t
y₀ = initial height of the object = 0 m
u = initial velocity = 40 m/s
g = -9.8 m/s²
y = 40t - 4.9t² (eqn 2)
At the point where the two objects meet, we equate eqn 1 and eqn 2
y = y
81.5 - 4.9T² = 40t - 4.9t²
But T = (t + 2.2) (Since object 2 was dropped 2.2 s after object 1)
81.5 - 4.9(t + 2.2)² = 40t - 4.9t²
81.5 - 4.9(t² + 4.4t + 4.84) = 40t - 4.9t²
81.5 - 4.9t² - 21.56t - 23.716 = 40t - 4.9t²
81.5 - 21.56t - 23.716 - 40t = 0
57.784 = 61.56t
t = (57.784/61.56) = 0.93866 = 0.94 s
Therefore, the vertical height at t = 0.93866 s is
y = (40×0.93866) - 4.9(0.93866²) = 33.23 m

What is electricity?
Answer:Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. When electrons are "lost" from an atom, the free movement of these electrons constitutes an electric current. Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy.
Explanation:
Answer:
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others.a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current.
Explanation:
If a 0.5 kg ball is thrown up with 250 J of kinetic energy, how high will it go?
(HINT: At the ball's highest point it has stopped.)
KE = 1/2mv2
G = 9.8 m/s2
Answer:
51.02m
Explanation:
KE = 1/2mv2
Where k.e = 250J
mass = 0.5 kg
g = 9.8 m/s2
250= 1/2×0.5×v^2
250= 0.5×0.5×v^2
250= 0.25v^2
v^2 = 250/0.25
v^2 = 1000
v =√1000
v = 31.62m/s
v^2= u^2-2gh........... (1)
Since the object will stop at it highest point, hence it final velocity there will be zero and since it is moving up against the gravity g= -9.8m/s^2. That was why the formula in equation 1 has a negative sign
From h = u^2/2g
Where v = 31.62m/s
g = 9.8m/s^2
H = (31.62m/s)^2/9.8×2
H= 1000/19.6
= 51.02m
Hence the height of it travelling will be
51.02m
El tiempo de reacción de un conductor de automóvil es 0,75s. Si el automóvil puede experimentar una desaceleracion de 4m/s^2. Calcular la distancia recorrida hasta detenerse una vez recibida la señal, cuando su velocidad era 10m/s
Answer:
x_total = 20m
Explanation:
This is an exercise in kinematics, we will look for the distance it travels during the reaction time, where there is no braking, and then the distance during the deceleration.
Distance traveled during response time
v = x₁ / t
x₁ = v t
let's calculate
x₁ = 10 0.75
x₁ = 7.5 m
Now we calculate the distance during braking, the final speed is zero (v = 0)
v² = v₀² - 2 a x₂
x₂ = v₀² / 2 a
let's calculate
x₂ = 10² / (2 4)
x₂ = 12.5m
the total stopping distance is
x_total = x₁ + x₂
X_total = 7.5 + 12.5
x_total = 20m
