Why is the heat of fusion of any substance generally lower than its heat of vaporization?

1 answer:

Ber [7]2 years ago

The heat of fusion is always less than the heat of vaporization because at the time of the phase change from solid to liquid, the molecules only require energy to escape from the crystalline network, but it preserves the other molecular junctions.

In the case of the phase change between liquid to steam, there must be a total breakdown of that intermolecular networks and therefore apply energy so that they are not again attracted by the conditions of their environment.

An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a pipe that has a change in diameter. The fluid speed at a location where the pip

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The value is $v_2 = 5.53 \ m /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The pipe diameter at location 1 is $d = 8.8 \ cm = \frac{8.8 }{10} = 0.88 \ m$

The velocity at location 1 is $v_1 = 2.4 \ m /s$

The diameter at location 2 is $d_2 = 5.80 \ cm = 0.58 \ m$

Generally the area at location 1 is

$A_1 = \pi * \frac{d^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_1 = \pi * \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_1 = 3.142 * \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_1 = 1.2166 \ m^2$

Generally the area at location 1 is

$A_2 = \pi * \frac{d_1^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_2 = \pi * \frac{0.58^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_2 = 0.528 \ m^2$

Generally from continuity equation we have that

$A_1 * v_1 = A_2 * v_2$

=> $1.2166 * 2.4 = 0.528 * v_2$

=> $v_2 = 5.53 \ m /s$

Why does the spectroscopic parallax method only work for main sequence stars?.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Only main sequence stars have a well-defined relationship between spectral type and luminosity.

Explanation:

Low-mass stars have much longer lifetimes than high-mass stars.

Balboa Park in San Diego has an outdoor organ. When the air temperature increases, the fundamental frequency of one of the organ

musickatia [10]

The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will go up or increase.

When pressured air is forced into an organ pipe, it echoes at a particular pitch, generating the sound of the pipe organ. Each pipe has been adjusted to a particular pitch on the musical scale.

A musical instrument called an outdoor pipe organ is used to perform music. It produces some calming tones and has a really serene sound. The organ pipe produces the sound of the outdoor organ. The wavelength of the sound is also dependent on the length of the pipe. The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will grow as the speed of the sound increases as the ambient air temperature rises.

The correct option is (c).

Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.
