Why gas have two specific heat capacities?

Apositive charge moves in the direction of an electric field. which of the following statements are true? check all that apply. check all that apply. 1.the potential energy associated with the charge decreases. 2. the electric field does positive work on the charge. 3. the electric field does negative work on the charge. 4. the potential energy associated with the charge increases. 5. the electric field does not do any work on the charge. 6. the amount of work done on the charge cannot be determined without additional information.

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.

A47.2 g block of copper whose temperature is 480 k is placed in an insulating box with a 91.8 g block of lead whose temperature is 200 k. (a) what is the equilibrium temperature of the two-block system? (b) what is the change in the internal energy of the two-block system between the initial state and the equilibrium state? (c) what is the change in the entropy of the two-block system? the heat capacities of copper and lead are 386 j/kg·k and 128 j/kg·k, respectively.
