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?
In an experiment to find the specific heat capacity of an unknown, why must the energy supplied to the block be measured accurately?
Two identical blocks at the same initial temperature are left to cool: block A is matt black and block B is shiny silver. Which statement is correct about thermal radiation?
Why is it important to insulate hot water tanks in houses in terms of energy efficiency?
Which statement about thermal energy and temperature is correct?
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?
Why does adding insulation around a heated container reduce its rate of cooling?
A block of metal has mass 2.0 kg and is heated so its temperature rises from 20 °C to 50 °C. If 25 200 J of energy is supplied, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
What does the gradient of a temperature–time heating graph represent when power is constant?
