Answer:

The thermal energy gets absorbed!

Hope this helps :))

Answer:

This assertion is false

Explanation:

It can be a said that when snow melts to liquid, then at that phase certain amount of energy was needed to change it from its solid state to liquid. The energy needed is given as:

Q=mL

Where m is the mass of snow.

L is latent heat of fusion.

So when there is the melting of snow from solid to liquid, thermal energy gotten from the surrounding gets absorbed so as to convert it into liquid phase.

A 7.30 kg sign hangs from two wires. The
Alex

Answer:

28.0\; {\rm N} to the right.

Explanation:

Since the sign is not moving, the net force on this sign should be 0\; {\rm N}. For that, the horizontal component (x-component) of external forces on this sign should be 0\; {\rm N}.

Sources of external forces on this sign include tension from the wires, as well as gravitational pull (weight) from the earth. The gravitational pull from the earth is entirely vertical (y-component,) with a magnitude of 0\; {\rm N} in the horizontal direction. Thus, the only external forces on this sign in the x-component would be from the two wires.

The question states that the x-component of the force from the first wire is 28.0\; {\rm N} to the left. Thus, for the net force in the x-direction to be 0\; {\rm N}, the force from the other wire in the x\!-component needs to be 28.0\; {\rm N}\! to the right (same magnitude but opposite direction.)

A cannon of mass 6.43 x 103 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 7
Nata [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the shell when the cannon is unbolted is 500.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of cannon, m₁ = 6430 kg

mass of shell, m₂ = 73.8-kg

initial velocity of the shell, u₂ = 503 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the shell; when the cannon is rigidly bolted to the earth.

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ (73.8)(503)²

K.E = 9336032.1 J

When the cannon is unbolted from the earth, we apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy

change in initial momentum = change in momentum after

0 = m₁u₁ - m₂u₂

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of cannon

v₂ is the final velocity of shell

v_1 = \frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}

Apply the principle of conservation kinetic energy

K = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 +  \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_1(\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1})^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2(\frac{m_2}{m_1}) + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 \\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 (\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)\\\\2K = m_2v_2^2 (\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2K}{M_2(\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)} \\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2*9336032.1}{73.8(\frac{73.8}{6430} + 1)}\\\\

v_2^2 = 250138.173\\\\v_2 = \sqrt{250138.173} \\\\v_2 = 500.14  \ m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the shell when the cannon is unbolted is 500.14 m/s

Two parallel plates, each of area 3.37 cm2, are separated by 5.40 mm. The space between the plates is filled with air. A voltage
baherus [9]

Answer:

1, 1583.33 V/m

2, 4.72*10^-12 C

3, 39.2*10^-11 C

Explanation:

1

E = V / d

E = 8.55 / 5.4*10^-3

E = 8.55 / 0.0054

E = 1583.33 V/m

2

Capacitance, C = (k * e0 * A) / d, where k = 1

A = area of capacitor, 3.37 cm² = 3.37*10^-4 m²

d = plate separation, 5.4 mm

e0 = Constant, 8.85*10^-12

Applying these, we have

C = (1 * 8.85*10^-12 * 3.37*10^-4) / 5.4*10^-3

C = 29.82*10^-16 / 0.0054

C = 5.52*10^-13 F

Since Q = CV, then

Q = 5.52*10^-13 * 8.55

Q = 4.72*10^-12 C

3

We are given that k = 83, so

Capacitance, C = (k * e0 * A) / d

C = (83 * 8.85*10^-12 * 3.37*10^-4) / 5.4*10^-3

C = 2.475*10^-13 / 0.0054

C = 4.58*10^-11 F

Q = CV

Q = 4.58*10^-11 * 8.55

Q = 39.2*10^-11 C

What are the differences between convex lens and convex mirrors ?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The mirror is opaque while the lens is transparent

Explanation:

The lens is transparent throughout (lets light pass through), while the mirror reflects light. You are basically asking for the difference between a lens and a mirror

But how about the the behaviors of the convex mirror and convex lens? The convex lens will let light pass through and focus it on the other side of it. If you stand on one side of the lens, you can see what is on the other side of it. Think about a camera lens that's just curved!The convex mirror will reflect the light on the same side of it you'll basically will just see yourself but you'll look funny.
