Answer:

5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is given by Energy Transferred, the equation is given by,

Q = mc\Delta T

Where,

Q= Energy transferred

m = mass of water

c = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = Temperature change (K or °C)

Replacing the values where mass is 50g and temperature is 80°C to 0°C we have,

Q = mc\Delta T

Q = 50*0.11*(80-0)

Q = 440cal

Then we can calculate the heat absorbed by m grams of ice at 0°C, then

Q_2 = mL = 80*m

How Q_1=Q_2, so

80m=440

m=\frac{440}{80}

m = 5.5g

Then 5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

What are some important factors to consider when choosing a warm-up before your workout?
TEA [102]

<u>Answer:</u>

Prior to exercise, a proper warm-up of 10-15 minutes is extremely important to avoid injuries.

  1. Don't go too hard in the beginning and boost your activity level slowly. A good indication of a proper warm-up is that you feel sweat on your body parts.
  2. Don't overstretch right in the beginning as it can cause sore in your muscles and joints or stress fractures.
  3. Take a break if you feel sick or fatigues and use other drinks along with water to replace electrolytes and body fluids.

A heat pump absorbs heat from the atmosphere at a rate of 30 kW. If work is being done to run this heat pump at a rate of 7.7 kW
Volgvan

Answer:

Option D 3.9

Explanation:

First, you need to use the correct equation which is the following:

COP = Q/W

Where:

Q = heat absorbed

W = work done by the pump

COP = coefficient of perfomance

We have all the data, so, all you need to do is replace in the above expression and you shoould get the correct result:

COP = 30 / 7.7

COP = 3.896

This result you can round it to 3.9. option D.

a man exerts 3000.00N of force to push a car 35.00 meters in 90.00 seconds.... 1. what is the work done 2.what is the power gene
vaieri [72.5K]
1).  Work = (force) x (distance)

Work = (3,000 newtons) x (35 meters) = 105,000 newton-meters = <em>105,000 joules</em>

2).  Power = (work) / (time)

Power = (105,000 joules) / (90 seconds)
                                         = 1,166-2/3 joules per second =<em> 1,166 and 2/3 watts</em> .

<em>Note:</em>
That's no ordinary man.
1,166 watts is the same as roughly 1.6 horsepower.
Not too many people can sustain 1 horsepower or more for 90 seconds.

Could an elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Since momentum equals mass times velocity, a very slow-moving elephant could have the same momentum as a very fast-moving golf ball. ... m/s because momentum is conserved.
