A piece of wood near a fire is at 23°C. It gains 1,160 joules of heat from the fire and reaches a temperature of 42°C. The specific heat capacity of wood is 1.716 joules/gram degree Celsius. What is the mass of the piece of wood?
ОА. 16 g
OB. 29 g
ОC. 36 g
OD. 61 g

35.578g or 36g if you round

Explanation:

Q=mc ∆∅ where ∅ is temperature difference

1160= m x 1.716 x (42-23)

m = 1160/ 1.716 x19

m=35.578g

m = 36g to nearest whole number

C. 36 g

Explanation: I got this right on Edmentum.

(newtons first law)

conservation of momentum law states :

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity

say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s

say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s

total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s

momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s

mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg

10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s

10 000/3 000 = velocity

3.33 m/s = velocity after collision

an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied

considering the question as per the attachment

here we can see that the radon nuclide has 222 as the atomic mass number and 86 as the atomic number.

when it undergoes nuclear fission it gives polonium which has atomic mass number as 218 and atomic number will be 84 along with a helium nucleus which has 4 atomic mass number and 2 as its atomic number.

222 = 218 + 4 (atomic mass number)

86 = ? + 2; therefore ? = 86-2 = 84.

the atomic mass number of polonium will be 84.
