A block of ice at 0 degrees C, whose mass is initially 62 kg, slides along a horizontal surface, starting at a speed of 5.48 m/s

and finally coming to rest after traveling 26.8 m. Compute the mass of ice melted (in grams) as a result of friction between the ice and the horizontal surface

The mass of ice melted as a result of friction between the ice and the horizontal surface is 2.78g

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Temperature, T = 0°C

Initial mass, Mi = 62kg

Speed, s = 5.48m/s

Distance, x = 26.8m

Friction is present.

Mass of ice melted = ?

We know,

The amount of energy required for the melting of ice is exactly equal to the initial kinetic energy of the block of ice

and

            Kinetic Energy, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Therefore,    KE = \frac{62 X  5.48 X 5.48}{2}

KE = 930.94 Joules

Ice melting lateral heat is  334 kJ/kg = 334000 J/kg.

Therefore, the melted mass of the ice = 930.94 / 334000 = 0.00278 kg = 2.78 g.

Thus, The mass of ice melted as a result of friction between the ice and the horizontal surface is 2.78g

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

\dfrac{m}{t} = Mass flow rate = 1 kg/s

v = Final velocity = 6 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Force is obtained when we divide change in momentum by time

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{m}{t}(v-u)\\\Rightarrow F=1(6-0)\\\Rightarrow F=6\ N

The force the person exert on the extinguisher in order to prevent it from accelerating is 6 N

How can you tell that toast is not warmed up by conduction?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Toasting in a toaster is usually considered  by (infra red) radiation. But the hot coils touch the toast so an element of heating by conduction occurs as well.

What is the pressure at the bottom of a tank 1-m deep? Take the density of water to be 1000-kg/m^3, and gravitational accelerati
lara31 [8.8K]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to hydrostatic pressure. Which determines the pressure of a body at a given depth of a liquid.

Mathematically this can be described as

P= \rho gh

Here

\rho = Density

g = Gravity

h = Height (Depth)

If we replace the values given in the equation we will have to

P = 1000 (9.8)(1)

P = 9800 Pa

Therefore the pressure at the bottom will be 9.8kPa
