Answer:
μ = mg/kx
Explanation:
Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.
Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.
N = F' = kx
So, F = μN = μkx
μkx = mg
So, μ = mg/kx
Answer:
Explanation:
Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg
Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree
= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature
= .5 x 2093 x 10 J
10465 J
Heat required to melt the ice
= mass of ice x latent heat
0.5 x 334 x 10³ J
167000 J
Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree
= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature
= .5 x 4182 x 18
=37638 J
Total heat
=10465 +167000+ 37638
=215103 J
<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>
