Parallel has more than one circuit or form of energy
series has only one form of energy circuit
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:
Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ
Answer:
The second vector
points due West with a magnitude of 600N
Explanation:
The original vector
points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector
points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of 400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.
Answer:
A. 1.64 J
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

where
n is the number of moles
m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury
Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury
Substituting, we find

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

where
n is the number of moles
is the Avogadro number
Substituting,
atoms
The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

where
h is the Planck constant
c is the speed of light
is the wavelength
Substituting,

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is
