Specific Heat Problems
1.   5.0 g of copper was heated from 20°C to 80°C. How much energy was used to heat Cu? (Specific heat capacity of Cu is 0.092 cal/g °C)

2.   How much heat is absorbed by 20g granite boulder as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 10°C to 29°C? (Specific heat capacity of granite is 0.1 cal/gºC)

3.   How much heat is released when 30 g of water at 96°C cools to 25°C? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/g°C.

4.   If a 3.1g ring is heated using 10.0 calories, its temperature rises 17.9°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the ring. 

5.   The temperature of a sample of water increases from 20°C to 46.6°C as it absorbs 5650 calories of heat. What is the mass of the sample? (Specific heat of water is 1.0 cal/g °C)

6.   The temperature of a sample of iron with a mass of 10.0 g changed from 50.4°C to 25.0°C with the release of 47 calories of heat. What is the specific heat of iron?

7.   A 4.50 g coin of copper absorbed 54 calories of heat. What was the final temperature of the copper if the initial temperature was 25°C? The specific heat of copper is 0.092 cal/g°C.

8.   A 155 g sample of an unknown substance was heated from 25°C to 40°C. In the process, the substance absorbed 569 calories of energy. What is the specific heat of the substance?

Rolling Motion made Easy

Q. Many of us we think that Rolling Motion is tough? The answer to the above question is "BIG NO" things are only tough till you understand them completely. So, I am here to guide you on the above topic. Leave comments on any Doubts faced by you recently. When we talk about pure Rotational Motion we imagine a fixed axis about which the all the particles of the Rigid Body are moving in a Circular Motion. Hence if the body moves with angular Velocity ' omega ' (w) than every particle on the periphery will have linear velocity as v =wr ( where r is the radius of the particle from its axis ). In the above Diagram we see 3 figures: 1st figure shows when the body is in pure translational motion only, every particle of the rigid body will have same velocity ( same Direction ) as visible. 2nd figure shows when the body is in pure rotational motion as discussed above particle will have same speed but different velocity about fixed axis O. 3rd figure sh

Factors affecting of resistances, Combination Of Series and Paralell

 Electric resistance of a conductor (or a wire) depends on the following factors Length of the conductor: - Resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length. So, when length of the wire is doubled, its resistance also gets doubled; and if length of the wire is halved its resistance also gets halved. Thus a long wire has more resistance then a short wire. Area of cross-section:- Resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross-section. So, when the area of cross-section of a wire is doubled, its resistance gets halved; and if the area of cross-section of wire is halved then its resistance will get doubled. Thus a thick wire has less resistance and a thin wire has more resistance. 3. Nature of material of conductor:- Electrical resistance of a conductor also depends on the nature of the material of which it is made. For example a copper wire has less resistance then a nichrome wire of same length and area of cross-section. 4
