A waitperson carrying a tray with a platter on it tips the tray at an angle of 12 degrees below the horizontal. If the gravitati

Tasya [4]

Answer:1.04 N

Explanation:

Given

Gravitational Force on the Platter is $5 N$

Tray makes an angle of $\theta =12^{\circ}$

This gravitational Force has components along and Perpendicular to Platter

Perpendicular Force $W_p=W\cos \theta$

$W_p=5\times \cos 12=4.89 N$

Along the Tray

$W_{along}=W\sin \theta$

$W_{along}=5\times \sin 12=1.04 N$

Thus 1.04 N is the magnitude of force that will cause Platter to slide down

What quantity of heat is needed to convert 1 kg of ice at -13 degrees C to steam at 100 degrees C?

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ

Explanation:

We have

heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g

heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

specific heat of ice = 2.09 J/g·°C

specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g·°C

specific heat of steam = 2.09 J/g·°C

Here wee need to convert 1 kg ice from -13°C to vapor at 100°C

First the ice changes to -13°C from 0°C , then it changes to water, then its temperature increases from 0°C to 100°C, then it changes to steam.

Mass of water = 1000 g

Heat energy required to change ice temperature from -13°C to 0°C

H₁ = mcΔT = 1000 x 2.09 x 13 = 27.17 kJ

Heat energy required to change ice from 0°C to water at 0°C

H₂ = mL = 1000 x 334 = 334 kJ

Heat energy required to change water temperature from 0°C to 100°C

H₃ = mcΔT = 1000 x 4.18 x 100 = 418 kJ

Heat energy required to change water from 100°C to steam at 100°C

H₄ = mL = 1000 x 2257 = 2257 kJ

Total heat energy required

H = H₁ + H₂ + H₃ + H₄ = 27.17 + 334 + 418 +2257 = 3036.17 kJ

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ

A light ray hits a plane surface at 20 degrees. What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

140°

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that the angle of redlection equals to the angle of incidence.

When light rays hit surface at 20°, they also leave the surface at the same angle

Since the whole surface has 180° then subtracting these two angles from total angle gives the the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

180°-20°-20°=140°

The angle of incidence and reflection are equal hence 140/2=70°

The question needed the angle between the incident and reflected rays which is already calculated as 140°
