State how much energy is transferred in each of the following cases: 2 grams of steam at 100 degrees Celsius condenses to water
at 100 degrees Celsius. 2 grams of boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius cools to ice water at 0 degrees Celsius.
2 grams of ice water at 0 degrees Celsius freezes to ice at 0 degrees Celsius.
2 grams of steam at 100 degrees Celsius turns to ice at 0 degrees Celsius.
When 2 gms of steam condenses to water at 100 degree latent heat of vaporization is releases which is calculated as follows
Heat released = mass x latent heat of vaporization
= 2 x 2260 = 4520 J
When 2 gms of water at 100 degree is cooled to ice water at zero degree heat is releases which is calculated as follows
Heat released = mass x specific heat x( 100-0)
= 2 x 4.2 x 100 = 840 J
When 2 gms of water at zero degree condenses to ice at zero degree latent heat of fusion is releases which is calculated as follows
Heat released = mass x latent heat of fusion
= 2 x 334 = 668 J
When 2 grams of steam at 100 degrees Celsius turns to ice at 0 degrees Celsius heat released will be sum of all the heat released as mentioned above ie
Nuclear fusion in the core tries to blow the star apart. Gravity holds it together. Whoever designed that system really knew what he was doing. I'm kinda grateful to him.
We are given with, a construction worker is carrying a load of 40 kg over his head and is walking at a constant velocity. He travels a distance of 50 m.
The work done by an object is given by :
F = ma
So,
m is mass
a is acceleration
d is displacement
The worker is moving with constant velocity, its acceleration will be 0. So, the work done by the worker is 0.
Two things can happen to <u>old satellites</u>: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.
