Which requires more energy

Which requires more energy, increasing the temperature of a 1 kg block of aluminum by 20º C or raising the temperature of 500g of water by 5º C?-Specific heat capacity of water is 4.186J/g K while for

Suppose a person leaps on a trampline. From the time he starts going up to the time he arrives back down is

3.2 seconds. What is his inital velocity upwards at the beginning of the leap? Please Help!-Vi = g*t/2 = 15.7 m/s

Why does water not refract light, yet everything seems distorted

what happens when light hits moving water-1)Water does refract light (n = 1.33) 2)The surface of moving water causes the angle of incidence to be time dependent; ergo, a given ray of incident light wi

Question about badminton related to physics

... does a hypothetical FTL neutrino move backwards through time?-exs answer is not entirely correct. According to Einsteins equations, although technically impossible, if an object with mass did obt

Help me solve this two problems

A rectangular sign h = 20.0 cm high and w = 11.0 cm wide looses three of its four support bolts and rotates into the position as shown, with P1 directly over P3. It is supported by P2, which is so tig

What's the force if a car travelling at 40 km/h comes to a stop in 0.08 seconds

The force on the seatbelt,...Assume the mass of the occupant is 70kg.-40 km/h = 11.1 m/s First you need to find the deceleration needed to stop the car in 0.08 s. Then you can use this value to find

What equations have to be equated to get the formula for escape velocity (which i know)

I know the formula for escape velocity but not what formulas that derive it/can be equated to find it. because orbital velocity is the same except there is no 2-for an object to achieve escape, it mu

How do you do thia energy question

During the week a 2.4 kW kettle was used for 2 hours. Calculate how much energy was transferred by the kettle. Write down the equation you use. Show clearly how you work out your answer and give the u

Candy bar physics question

If the human body could convert a candy bar directly into work, how high could an 91kgman climb a ladder if he were fueled by one bar ? (=1400kj?) If the man then jumped off the ladder, what will be
