Answer:

Work done by a tug boat, W = 1.735 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

Given,

The of each tugboat, F = 1.5 x 10⁶ N

The angle of each tugboat forms with the resultant force, θ = 19°

The displacement of the supertanker, s = 710 m

The individual tugboat will be responsible for the displacement, d = 710/2

                                                                                                               = 355 m

The displacement component in each tugboat direction = 355 · sin θ meter

Therefore, the work done by each tugboat is

                                           W = F x S    joules

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                            W = 1.5 x 10⁶  x  355 · sin θ

                                                = 1.735 x 10⁸ J

Hence, the work done by each tugboat is, W = 1.735 x 10⁸ J

When a block of ice at zero degrees Celsius melts, the ice A) absorbs energy from its environment. B) releases energy to its env
Mariulka [41]

Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Latent heat is defined as the amount of heat required by per mole of a substance in order to change its state.  

And, latent heat of freezing (fusion) is defined as the energy required for the phase change between a liquid and a solid without any change in their temperature.

Therefore, at zero degrees Celsius energy absorbed by the ice will be consumed in breaking the bond between the water molecules held together in the solid state.

Thus, we can conclude that when a block of ice at zero degrees Celsius melts, the ice absorbs energy but does not change its temperature.

50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture in
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0° C

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ice, m = 50g

Mass of water, m(w) = 50g

Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C

Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C

Also, it is known that

Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C

Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g

Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.

This makes the energy balance equation:

Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C

m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have

50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)

4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T

0 = 100 T

T = 0° C

Thus, the final temperature is 0° C

explain how an earth wire in an appliance can help to prevent damage or injury to users when a fault occurs in the appliance.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Simply put: the grounding wire is a way of electrical protection. Its function is to quickly connect the current to the earth through the grounding wire when your electrical equipment is leaking or inductively charged, so that the equipment shell is no longer charged, thereby ensuring the safety of the equipment behind the personnel.

Explanation:

For example, due to poor insulation performance of household appliances or humid environment, the shell will be charged with static electricity, and electric shock accidents may occur in serious cases. In order to avoid accidents, a wire can be connected to the metal shell of the electrical appliance, and the other end of the wire can be connected to the ground. Once the electrical leakage occurs, the grounding wire will bring static electricity into the ground and release it. In addition, it is more important for electrical maintenance personnel to use electric soldering irons to solder circuits, sometimes because the electric soldering irons are charged and break down and damage the integrated circuits in the electrical appliances. Friends who use computers sometimes ignore the grounding of the mainframe. In fact, connecting a ground wire to the mainframe of the computer can prevent the occurrence of crashes to a certain extent.

i hope it help you out ο(=•ω<=)ρ⌒☆
