Answer:
17.63W
Explanation:
The total energy supplied to the ice is used to melt the ice. Since the ice starts to melt at and also melts completely at the same temperature, the latent heat of fusion will be the focus in solving this problem.
Latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of energy that changes a solid substance to liquid state without any change in temperature. It is given by the following relationship;
where m is the mass of the substance and l is the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance.
The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is approximately.
The total heat supplied to the ice was used to melt the ice and is calculated using equation (1), given that m = 4.56kg.
The total energy supplied to the ice is equivalent to the average power P entering the ice multiplied by the time t for which the power is supplied. Therefore;
where t = 1 day and 1 day = 24 hours.
24 hours = 60 x 60 x 24s =86400s.
Hence, t = 86400s.
Substituting into equation (2), we get the following;
Answer: They possess high concentrations of free electrons
Explanation:
Let's start by explaining that <u>a material is a good electrical conductor when it allows the flow of electric current without much resistance. </u>
<u />
This is achieved because <u>the atoms of which the material is composed, have electrons in their valence shell, which is the outermost layer where the electrons (the particles responsible for transporting electricity) can be easily detached to form atomic bonds</u>, so there is no need of a huge amount of energy for these electrons to jump from one atom to another and form stable chemical bonds.
This is what happens with metals, because they have an atomic structure so united and stable that when an electric flow passes through it, the electrons in the metal flow unimpeded.
Answer:
1) F = 8.789 10² N, 2) F = 1.5 10⁴ N
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using Coulomb's law
F =
Knowing that charges of the same sign repel
let's apply this equation to our case
1) the charges are q = - 0.0025 C and the distance between them r = 8 m
we calculate
F = 9 10⁹ 0.0025 0.0025 /8²
F = 8.789 10² N
as the two charges are of the same sign the force is repulsive
2) q₁ = -0.004C and q₂ = -0.003 C with a distance of r = 3.0 m
we calculate
F = 9 10⁹ 0.004 0.003 / 3²
F = 1.5 10⁴ N
