Specific heat is a measurement of the amount of heat energy input required for one gram of a substance to increase its temperature by one degree Celsius. Solid lithium has a specific heat of 3.5 J/g·°C. This means that one gram of lithium requires 3.5 J of heat to increase 1°C. Plot the temperature of 1g of lithium after 3.5, 7, and 10.5 J of thermal energy are added.

Ineed to answer this problem but i lack in knowledge, what should i study to answer this problem? i have never used derivatives in a physics problem so i'm not sure what's happening and i can't find videos explaining.

Geologists get to play with chemistry, physics, and history! and what a history you will meet as youwork your way through the course. starting at the beginning, the textbook provides the scientifically acceptedstart of the and promises that you'll get to explore some of the evidence for that scientific view, later inthe semester. meanwhile, which is more nearly correct of the scientifically accepted view? a) the earth formed when the big bang caused older materials to fall together, about 14 billion years ago. b) the earth formed from the falling together of older materials, about 4.6 billion years ago. c) the earth formed in the big bang, about 6000 years ago. d) the earth is eternal, having been here forever and promising to be here forever. e) the earth was assembled by gigantic space beavers, which gnawed down the primordial tree of life andpiled its branches together to form the planet.

Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater. what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?
