the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapor, or a liquid into a vapor, without change of temperature. hope this helps

The correct choice is

D. energy released or absorbed to change the phase of a substance.

By definition, latent heat is the amount of heat required by an object to change from one state to another. for example : heat required for 1 g of ice at 0 °C converts to water at 0 °C is 334 J.  heat required for 1 g of water at 100 °C to vaporize is 2230 J.

An electron moving with a speed of 4.0 * 105 m>s in the positive x direction experiences zero magnetic force. When it moves i
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge on an electron is

q=1.609×10^-19C

Speed of electron V=4×10^5 m/s in positive x direction

V = 4×10^5 •i m/s

At this point F=0N

When the electron is moving in positive y direction

V =4×10^5 •j m/s

F = 3.2×10^-13 N in positive z direction.

F = 3.2×10 ^-13 •k N

What is the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field B?

The force in a magnetic field is given as

F = q (V ×B)

The only time V×B is zero is when both V and B are in same direction

This shows that B is in the positive x direction or negative x direction

i.e B= Bx •i

Now applying this to the second condition

F= q(V×B)

3.2×10^-13 •k =1.609×10^-19 × (4×10^5•j ×Bx •i)

Note that, j×i =-k

3.2×10^-13 •k / 1.609×10^-19 = (4×10^5Bx •(j×i))

1988812.927 •k =- 4×10^5Bx•k

1988812.927/4×10^5 •k =-Bx •k

4.972 •k =-Bx •k

Then, Bx = -4.972 •k Telsa

Then, the magnitude of B is

B=4.972 T

And its direction is negative z direction.

For the ride to be comfortable, the magnitude of acceleration must not exceed 32 m/s2. What is the fastest constant speed that a
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the maximum possible constant speed is  8 m/sec  

Explanation:

from the image, Given that

r(t) = (2t, t²,t²/3), -5 ≤ t ≤ 5  

Given that the curvature K(t)  = 2 / ( t² + 2)²  

note that t² + 2 ≥ 2  

(t² + 2)² ≥ 4

1 / (t² + 2)² ≤ 1/4

2 / (t² + 2)² ≤ 1/2

Also note that k(0) = 1/2

The normal component of acceleration satisfies aN = kv²

where v = ║v(t)║is the speed of the roller coaster.

The maximum possible normal component of acceleration is 32

so, aN ≤ 32 every where on the track

aN = kv² ≤  1/2v² ≤ 32

v² ≤ 64

Therefore, the maximum possible constant speed is  8 m/sec

The density of a fish tank is 0.2fish over feet cubed. There are 8 fish in the tank. What is the volume of the tank?
Verizon [17]

Density is a physical property which describes the mass of a substance per unit of volume of the substance. It is expressed as Density = m / V and it has units like g/cm^3. We use the density given to solve the problem.

<span> Volume of the tank = 8 fishes / 0.2 fish / ft</span><span>³</span>

<span>Volume of the tank = 40 ft</span><span>³</span>

Discuss the path that light takes through the human eye
amm1812

The cornea is shaped like a dome and bends light to help the eye focus. Some of this light enters the eye through an opening called the pupil (PYOO-pul). The iris (the colored part of the eye) controls how much light the pupil lets in. Next, light passes through the lens (a clear inner part of the eye).

What is happening if energy input remains constant and voltage remains the same in a circuit, but the current decreases?
atroni [7]
The resistance of the circuit will definitely increase. This can be proved by the Ohm's Law where it is said that the potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the current and the proportionality constant is known as the resistance. The law is expressed as V = IR. As we can see, when the voltage remains constant while the current decreases then the resistance will increase.<span />
