Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, for this melting process, we can identify two sub-processes in order to take the stainless steel from solid to liquid:
1. Heat up from 298.15 K to 1673 K.
2. Undergo the phase transition.
Both process have an associated enthalpy as shown below:
Therefore, the required heat is:
Notice the problem is not providing neither the mass or volume, that is why we assumed the mass is 1 g; however, it can be changed to the mass you are given.
Best regards!
Answer:
Acceleration will increase.
Explanation:
The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:
F = ma
We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:
Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.
There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.
Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.
So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.
