Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the graph the value of m and b in the equation y = mx + b is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The scope of the measurement depends upon the context and event. Measurement is commonly used as an international system of unit as a comparison framework. Two variables such as mass (m) and volume (V) can be described as directly proportional one on other by the expression m α V. Besides, the term density is given by the mass of the given substance per unit volume. Moreover, slope is the ratio of the change in the value of ‘y’ with respect to change in the value of ‘x’.
(b)
Interpretation:
The proportional relationship between x and y is to be stated.

- 1-86 The specific heats of some elements at 25oC are as follows: aluminum = 0.215 cal/g · oC; carbon (graphite) = 0.170 caI/g oC; iron = 0.107 cal/g mercury = 0.033 1 caI/g oC. (a) Which element would require the smallest amount of heat to raise the temperature of 100 g of the element by 10oC? (b) If the same amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of aluminum by 25oC were applied to 1 g of mercury, by how many degrees would its temperature be raised? (c) If a certain amount of heat is used to raise the temperature of 1.6 g of iron by 10oC, the temperature of 1 g of which element would also be raised by 10oC, using the same amount of heat?arrow_forwardAfter sitting on a shelf for a while, a can of soda at a room temperature (69°F) is placed inside a refrigerator and slowly cools. The temperature of the refrigerator is 37°F. Newton's Law of Cooling explains that the temperature of the can of soda will decrease proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the can of soda and the temperature of the refrigerator, as given by the formula below: T = Ta + (To – Ta)e¬kt the temperature surrounding the object To = the initial temperature of the object t = the time in minutes the temperature of the object after t minutes k = decay constant T The can of soda reaches the temperature of 54°F after 40 minutes. Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the can of soda, to the nearest degree, after 95 minutes. Enter only the final temperature into the input box.arrow_forwardA barometer is filled with a cylindrical column of mercury that is 76.0 cm high and 1.000 cm in diameter.
