If you have a lump of solid at its melting point ... like ice at 32°F ...
you have to put a certain amount of heat into it just to change it
to water at 32°F. That amount of heat, that's used just to change
a solid lump into liquid without changing its temperature, is called
the heat of fusion for that substance.
The number is different for every substance.
For water, it takes 336 joules of heat to melt 1 gram of ice
into 1 gram of water, all at 32°F (0°C).
That's an enormous latent heat of fusion ... more than almost any
other known substance. That's why ice is such a good choice
when you need something to put in your drink to cool it down.
Ice absorbs a huge amount of heat before it melts and the drink
gets watered down.
Answer:
The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of
v = E / B
Explanation:
After reading this long statement we can extract the data to work on the problem.
* They indicate that when the beam passes through the plates it deviates towards the positive plate, so the beam must be negative electrons.
* Now indicates that the electric field and the magnetic field are contracted and that the beam passes without deviating, so the electric and magnetic forces must be balanced
q E = qv B
v = E / B
this configuration is called speed selector
They ask us what type of beam was used.
The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of v = E / B
Example of surface events are erosion and weathering. Erosion is the carrying of a particle from one place to the other and weathering is the breaking down of particles. These processes help in rock formation because this allows physical changes (grouping together or breaking down) on a certain substance. Subsurface events are those which happened underground such as the flow of underground water which subsequently allow the deposition of minerals, etc.
Answer:
A - elastic since many other fast food items could be considered close substitutes.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand is how much the demand of the Big Macs will change due to a 1% change in price. Should the elasticity be greater than 1, the Big Macs will be elastic. Should it be less than 1, the Big Macs are inelastic.
Demand elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by a percentage change in price.
Since Big Macs are (i) a luxury good, and (ii) have close substitutes (other burgers available at McDonalds and other fast food stores), we will say their elasticity is greater than 1.
This means that the demand of Big Macs will change due to a 1% increase in price due to the presence of close substitutes.
