When a volume of ice melts, the volume of the liquid is smaller. That's why ice floats on water. H2O is the only known substance for which this is true. If it were not, life would not be possible on Earth. Happy Christmas to all.

You are designing a toaster heating element to consume 10A at 120V. The heating element will be made from a length of cylindrica
bulgar [2K]

Answer: a) 12 Ω; b)  15.10 m; c) 360 kJ

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to considere the OHM law which is given by:

V=R*I where R is the resistance and I the current, V is the voltage.

For the toaster heating the resistance must be equal

R=V/I=120/10= 12 Ω

We also know that R=ρ*L/A where L and A are the length and area of the wire.

Then the length of the wire is given by:

L=R*A/ρ= 12*π*(0.8*10^-3)^2/1.6*10^-6=15.10 m

Finally we can calculate the consumed energy  by the toaster heating during 5 minutes (5*60s=300 s).

The power is equal:

P=I*V= 10*120=1200 W

E= P*time (s)= 1200*300=360*10^3J

Use 4 to 5 complete sentences, explain the concepts of beats and how beats are produces.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Beats is a phenomenon which occurs when two sound waves with different frequencies overlap each other.

Explanation:

When these two sound waves overlap, a third frequency is formed. The places where the two waves reinforces each other, constructive interference takes place and a louder sound is produced whereas, at points where destructive interference takes place a softer sound is produced.

These alternative loud and soft sounds are called beats.

After an afternoon party, a small cooler full of ice is dumped onto the hot ground and melts. If the cooler contained 5.50 kg of
zysi [14]

Answer:

Q = 4.40 \times 10^5 Cal

Explanation:

Here we know that initial temperature of ice is given as

T = 0^o C

now the latent heat of ice is given as

L = 80 Cal/g

now we also know that the mass of ice is

m = 5.50 kg

so here we know that heat required to change the phase of the ice is given as

Q = mL

Q = (5.50 \times 10^3)(80)

Q = 4.40 \times 10^5 Cal
