Are fat fish more likely to have broad stripes than thin fish?

1 answer:

7 0

yes, just like human skin. The bigger you grown the more your skin stretches, I a fish is bigger their skin will stretch leading to broad stripes.

An open container holds ice of mass 0.555 kg at a temperature of -16.6 ∘C . The mass of the container can be ignored. Heat is su

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: A. 23.59 minutes.

B. 249.65 minutes

Explanation: This question involves the concept of Latent Heat and specific heat capacities of water in solid phase.

Latent heat of fusion is the total amount of heat rejected from the unit mass of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert completely into ice of 0 degree Celsius (and the heat required for vice-versa process).

Specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required by the unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 kelvin.

Here, given that:

mass of ice, m= 0.555 kg

temperature of ice, T= -16.6°C

rate of heat transfer, $q=820 J.min^{-1}$

specific heat of ice, $c_{i}= 2100 J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

latent heat of fusion of ice, $L_{i}=334\times10^{3}J.kg^{-1}$

Asked:

1. Time require for the ice to start melting.

2. Time required to raise the temperature above freezing point.

Sol.: 1.

We have the formula:

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Using above equation we find the total heat required to bring the ice from -16.6°C to 0°C.

$Q= 0.555\times2100\times16.6$

$Q= 19347.3 J$

Now, we require 19347.3 joules of heat to bring the ice to 0°C and then on further addition of heat it starts melting.

∴The time required before the ice starts to melt is the time required to bring the ice to 0°C.

$t=\frac{Q}{q}$

$=\frac{19347.3}{820}$

= 23.59 minutes.

Sol.: 2.

Next we need to find the time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins.

Now comes the concept of Latent heat into the play, the temperature does not starts rising for the ice as soon as it reaches at 0°C it takes significant amount of time to raise the temperature because the heat energy is being used to convert the phase of the water molecules from solid to liquid.

From the above solution we have concluded that 23.59 minutes is required for the given ice to come to 0°C, now we need some extra amount of energy to convert this ice to liquid water of 0°C.

We have the equation: latent heat, $Q_{L}= mL_{i}$

$Q_{L}= 0.555\times334\times10^{3}= 185370 J$

Now the time required for supply of 185370 J:

$t=\frac{Q_{L}}{q}$

$t=\frac{185370}{820}$

t= 226.06 minutes

∴ The time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins= 226.06 + 23.59

= 249.65 minutes

What happens when the dew point and the temperature are the same?

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar

just olya [345]

<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this attraction force is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the nuclear fusion process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

If displacement covered by a particle is zero then distance cover by it

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

When displacement is zero, the particle may be at rest, therefore, distance travelled = 0.

Again, when displacement is zero, the final position matches with the initial position after some time, but the distance travelled will not be zero.

A pitcher exerts a force on a baseball that is 30 times the balls weight. How fast is the pitcher accelerating the ball?

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

Explanation:

Force applied on baseball = 30 times weight of the ball.

Weight of ball = mg, where m is the mass of ball and g is acceleration due to gravity value.

We have force applied is also equal to product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma = 30 x mg

a = 30g

So, pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²
