Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Phase change is a physical process in which a substance goes from one phase to another. Usually changes occur at a constant temperature and at this constant temperature heat is either given or extracted from the object. And the nature of phase change depends upon the direction of heat transfer.

heat going into the system changes a solid into gas or liquid, whereas heat coming out of the system changes gases to liquid and liquids to solids.

A phase change is occuring; the liquid water is changing to gaseous water, or steam. On a molecular level, the intermolecular forces between the water molecules are decreasing. The heat is providing enough energy for the water molecules to overcome these attractive forces.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (nglass - ni)( $\frac{1}{R1}$ - $\frac{1}{R2}$ ).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (1.5 - 1.3)( $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ )

$\frac{1}{f}$ = 0.2( $\frac{1}{30}$ )

f = $\frac{30}{0.2}$ = 150

For air (nair = 1):

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (1.5 - 1)( $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ )

f = $\frac{30}{0.5}$ = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"c\" tone, with a frequency of 262 hz. what is the period of the sound wave produced by the sp

jasenka [17]

Answer:

3.82 ms

Explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f is the frequency.

In this problem, f = 262 Hz, so the period if this sound wave is

$T=\frac{1}{262 Hz}=3.82\cdot 10^{-3} s=3.82ms$

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.175 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.25 m/s, but it comes to a

Neko [114]

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

$E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$v_i$ and $v_f$ are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

$E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}$

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.

Give reasons.<br>a) Sunlight does not fall on the ground where cloud forms shadow.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Sunlight passing through a cloud is scattered in various directions. Some photons eventually find their way out the bottom of the cloud, some are reflected upwards, and some are absorbed, serving to warm the cloud. Since only a fraction of the light makes it to ground level, you have a shadow.

Explanation:

Hope it helps you
