Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

-Chemical energy in the battery is converted into Electrical Energy which powers up the phone.

-The electrical energy is then converted to Light Energy when the phone is powered up, this is seen through the lightening up of the phone screen.

-During phone calls, the electrical energy is further converted to Sound Energy to allow for transmission of audio signals.

- As we continue to use the phone, the electrical energy is converted into heat energy which we feel due to an overheating battery.

-The cycle then repeats itself again whenever a phone is charged.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

$Q=m. c. \Delta T$

Where:

$Q$ is the thermal energy

$m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg$ is the mass of the water sample

$c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=20\°C$ is the variation in temperature

Solving:

$Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)$

$Q=8400 J$ This is the thermal energy released

Answer:

.c. −160°C

Explanation:

In the whole process one kg of water at 0°C loses heat to form one kg of ice and heat lost by them is taken up by ice at −160°C . Now see whether heat lost is equal to heat gained or not.

heat lost by 1 kg of water at 0°C

= mass x latent heat

= 1 x 80000 cals

= 80000 cals

heat gained by ice at −160°C to form ice at 0°C

= mass x specific heat of ice x rise in temperature

= 1 x .5 x 1000 x 160

= 80000 cals

so , heat lost = heat gained.
