Answer:

Hey there!! So the answer is that the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapor, or a liquid into a vapor, without change of temperature. Hope this helped and have a great day!!

Answer:

Explanation:

This is the invisible heat required to change the state of a body either from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas.

Latent heat is not detectable by a thermometer.

There are two types of latent heat

(1) Latent heat of fusion

(2) Latent heat of vaporization

(1) Latent heat of fusion: This is the heat energy required to convert a substance from its solid form to its liquid form without a change in temperature.

(2) Latent heat of vaporization: This is the heat required to convert a substance from its liquid form to vapour without a change in temperature.

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of the following free body diagram.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Explanation:

First, we must calculate the resultant force (\vec F), in newtons, by vectorial sum:

\vec F = [(-200\,N)\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}+(400\,N)\cdot \cos 45^{\circ}+300\,N]\,\hat{i} + [(200\,N)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ} + (400\,N)\cdot \sin 45^{\circ}-100\,N]\,\hat{j} (1)

\vec F = 182.843\,\hat{i} + 356.048\,\hat{j}

Second, we calculate the magnitude of the resultant force by Pythagorean Theorem:

\|\vec F\| = \sqrt{(482.843\,N)^{2}+(356.048\,N)^{2}}

\|\vec F\| \approx 599.923\,N

Let suppose that direction of the resultant force is an standard angle. According to (1), the resultant force is set in the first quadrant:

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{356.048\,N}{482.843\,N} \right)

Where \theta is the direction of the resultant force, in sexagesimal degrees.

\theta \approx 36.405^{\circ}

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

5. A construction worker on a high-rise building is on a platform suspended between two cables as illustrated below. The constru
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a) Tc = 750 [N]  ;b) See the explanation below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need a graphical explanation of this, as well as knowing the corresponding questions. Therefore, a search was carried out in google, in the attached image we will find a graphical description of the problem.

b)

The solution of this type of problem corresponds to the use of Newton's third law, applying static which tells us that the sum of the forces in a system in equilibrium without movement must be equal to zero.

a)

In this way we can find by means of a sum of forces on the y axis equal to zero:

- 850 - 450 + 550 + Tc = 0

Tc = 750 [N]

A shopper pushes a 5.32 kg grocery cart with a 12.7 N force directed at -28.7° below horizontal. A friction force of 8.33 N push
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.8214 m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet= Fpushed - Ffriction

Fpushed = 12.7N      Ffriction = 8.33N

Fnet = 12.7N - 8.33N = 4.37N

Fnet= mass(acceleration)

Fnet = 4.37N    mass = 5.32 kg

4.37N = 5.32 kg(acceleration)

acceleration= 0.8214 m/s^2

An 87.6 g lead ball is dropped from rest from a height of 7.00 m. The collision between the ball and the ground is totally inela
bija089 [108]

Taking specific heat of lead as 0.128 J/gK = c

We have energy of ball at 7.00 meter height = mgh = 87.6*10^{-3}*9.81*7

When leads gets heated by a temperature ΔT energy needed = mcΔT

                                                                      = 87.6*10^{-3}*0.128*10^3ΔT

Comparing both the equations

                      87.6*10^{-3}*9.81*7 = 87.6*10^{-3}*0.128*10^3ΔT

                        ΔT = 0.536 K

                        Change in temperature same in degree and kelvin scale

                                      So ΔT = 0.536 ^0C
