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

In a 120-volt circuit having a resistance of 12 ohms, the power W in watts when a current I is flowing through is given by W=120
Mrac [35]

Answer:

maximum power = 300 W

Explanation:

Ohm's law: Ohm's law state that the current flowing through a metallic conductor, is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its end. mathematically it is expressed as,

V = IR............. Equation 1

Where V = potential difference, I = current, R = Resistance of the conductor.

If the power flowing through is gives as

W = 120I - 12I² ..................... Equation 2

To get the maximum power we differentiate of equation 2  and equate to zero

dW/dt = 0

120 - 24l = 0........................... equation 3

Making I the subject of the equation,

I = 120/24 = 5 A.

Suubstituting the value of I into Equation 2

W = 120 (5) - 12(5)²

W = 600 - 300

W = 300 W.

Therefore maximum power = 300 W

A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su
Marta_Voda [28]

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.

When two 10-Ohm resistors are in parallel in a circuit, what is the net resistor value
Elza [17]

Answer:

Net capacitance

=

let net capacitance be R

1/R = 1/10+1/10

1/R=2/10

1/R=1/5

cross mutiply

R=5

the net capacitance is 5ohms
