A 0.020 kg toy aeroplane is launched by a spring with spring constant 50 N/m and extension 0.12 m. Assuming all spring energy becomes kinetic, what is the maximum speed?
A 2.0 kg block of iron (c = 450 J/kg °C) is heated from 20 °C to 80 °C. How much energy is stored as thermal energy?
What does a negative temperature change (?T) indicate in the equation Q = m c ?T?
A block releases 8400 J as it cools by 10 °C. Its mass is 2 kg. What is its specific heat capacity?
Which statement about thermal energy and temperature is correct?
What is the best way to reduce random error when measuring the specific heat capacity of a block?
A sample of water of mass 0.5 kg is heated from 15 °C to 35 °C. Using c = 4200 J/kg °C, how much energy is required?
Why is it important to insulate hot water tanks in houses in terms of energy efficiency?
A student measures a temperature of 87.4 °C on a digital thermometer and about 88 °C on a mercury scale. Which instrument has the greater resolution?
A heater supplies 500 W to warm 0.8 kg of oil and the temperature rises at 0.5 °C/s. What is the specific heat capacity of the oil?
Why is thermal energy stored during melting not associated with a temperature change?
