We can solve this by using the formulas provided to us by calorimetry.

The energy (heat) that is needed to change a given mass of some solid into its liquid form is

E=Lm·m (Where Lm is a specific constant for the material/substance and m is the mass)

Lm for solid water (i.e. ice) is 334 $\frac{Kj}{Kg}$

We can now solve for E

E= 334⋅2 Kj =668Kj

This is the minimum energy required to melt 2 kg of ice. Remember that this energy will in no way change the temperature of the water since every amount of this energy is needed just to melt the solid itself. Even more energy would be needed to increase the end temperature.

The latent heat of fusion of water is 344 j/p.This will take 344x300 or 100200 J to melt the ice. once it melted its at oc

An elevator together with its passengers weights 5000 N. At a certain instant, the tension in its supporting cable is 6000 N. De

gayaneshka [121]

We have to forces acting on the system (elevator+passengers):
1) The weight (W=5000 N), acting downward
2) The cable's tension (T=6000 N), acting upward
So, the two forces have opposite direction. The resultant (in upward direction) will be
$F=T-W$
And for Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the system causes an acceleration on the system itself, given by
$a= \frac{F}{m}$
where m is the mass of the system.

So, we need to find F and m.
The resultant of the forces is
$F=T-W=6000 N-5000 N=1000 N$
To find m, we can use the weight of the system. In fact, the weight of an object is given by
$W=mg$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . Solving for m, and using W=5000 N, we find
$m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{5000 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=510 kg$

and at this point, we can calculate the acceleration of the system (elevator+people):
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1000 N}{510 kg}=1.96 m/s^2$
and the acceleration has the same direction of the resultant force, so upward.

A 47.2 kg girl is standing on a 177 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,

Softa [21]

Answer:

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of girl; m_g = 47.2 kg

Mass of plank; m_p = 177 kg

Let the velocity of girl to ice be v_g,i

Let the velocity of plank to ice be v_p,i

Since the velocity of the girl is 1.53 m/s relative to the plank, then;

v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53

From conservation of momentum;

m_g × v_g,i = m_p × v_p,i

Thus;

47.2(v_g,i) = 177(v_p,i)

Dividing both sides by 47.2 gives;

v_g,i = 3.75(v_p,i)

v_pi = (v_g,i)/3.75

Thus, from v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53, we have;

v_g,i + ((v_g,i)/3.75) = 1.53

v_g,i(1 + 1/3.75) = 1.53

1.267v_g,i = 1.53

v_g,i = 1.53/1.267

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

What is the law of variation of the period T of a simple pendulum

DIA [1.3K]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the length of the pendulum and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration. As we can see, the period of a simple pendulum depends only on its length.

The position of a 55 g oscillating mass is given by x(t)=(2.0cm)cos(10t), where t is in seconds. determine the velocity at t=0.4

NNADVOKAT [17]

The position of the mass is given by (in cm):
$x(t)=2 \cos (10 t)$
The velocity is the derivative of the position:
$v(t) = \frac{dx(t)}{dt} =-10\cdot 2 \sin (10t)=-20 \sin (10t)$
Substituting t=0.40 s, we can find the velocity at this time:
$v(0.40 s)= -20 \sin (10 \cdot 0.4)=15 cm/s=15 \cdot 10^{-2}m/s$
