Answer:

20 J/g

Explanation:

In this question, we are required to determine the latent heat of vaporization

To answer the question, we need to ask ourselves the questions:

What is latent heat of vaporization?

It is the amount of heat required to change a substance from its liquid state to gaseous state without change in temperature.

It is the amount of heat absorbed by a substance as it boils.

How do we calculate the latent heat of vaporization?

Latent heat is calculated by dividing the amount of heat absorbed by the mass of the substance.

In this case;

Mass of the substance = 20 g
Heat absorbed as the substance boils is 400 J (1000 J - 600 J)

Thus,

Latent heat of vaporization = Quantity of Heat ÷ Mass

= 400 Joules ÷ 20 g

= 20 J/g

Thus, the latent heat of vaporization is 20 J/g

A cruise ship travels across a river at 25 meters per minute. If the river is 6200 meters wide, how long

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

248 minutes

Explanation:

6200/25=248

This means there is 248 25s in 6200

which means it will take 248 minutes to travel through the river

Also here's a neat trick:

The units for speed is meters/minute

The units for distance is meters

Dividing distance by speed will cancel out the meters and leave only the speed.

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0

Anna007 [38]

The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers

The current theory of the structure of the

Mariana [72]

Answers:

a) $2.82(10)^{21} kg$

b) $1410 J$

c) $36.62 m/s$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>

Density $\rho$ is defined as a relation between mass $m$ and volume $V$ :

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho=2720 kg/m^{3}$ is the average density of the continent

$m$ is the mass of the continent

$V$ is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

$V=(length)(width)(depth)=(5300 km)(5300 km)(37 km)=1,030,330,000 km^{3} \frac{(1000 m)^{3}}{1 km^{3}}=1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}$

Finding the mass:

$m=\rho V$ (2)

$m=(2720 kg/m^{3})(1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3})$ (3)

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ (4) This is the mass of the continent

<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>

Kinetic energy $K$ is given by the following equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ (5)

Where:

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ is the mass of the continent

$v=4.8 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{1 year}{365 days} \frac{1 day}{24 hours} \frac{1 hour}{3600 s}=1(10)^{-9} m/s$ is the velocity of the continent

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.82(10)^{21} kg)(1(10)^{-9} m/s)^{2}$ (6)

$K=1410 J$ (7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent

<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>

If we have a jogger with mass $m=77 kg$ and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent $1413 J$ , we can find its velocity by isolating $v$ from (5):

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 K}{m}}$ (6)

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1413 J)}{77 kg}}$

Finally:

$v=36.62 m/s$ This is the speed of the jogger

Explain why liquids solidify when they are cooled.

Setler [38]

Because the molecules that move freely begin to compact closer together, with less heat, means less molecular activity.

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be

Novosadov [1.4K]

It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
= kg * ms⁻²
= kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2
