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

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.

A spring stretches 3.5 cm when a 9 g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 26 g which oscillates i

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The period of motion of new mass T = 0.637 sec

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of object (m) = 9 gm = 0.009 kg

Δx = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

We know that spring force is given by

F = m g

F = 0.009 × 9.81 = 0.08829 N

Spring constant

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

$k = \frac{0.08829}{0.035}$

k = 2.522 $\frac{N}{m}$

New mass $(m_1)$ = 26 gm = 0.026 kg

Now the period of motion is given by

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.026}{2.522} }$

T = 0.637 sec

This is the period of motion of new mass.

If a spring has a spring constant of 5 N/m and it is stretched 20 cm, what is the force of the Spring

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

First the equation is momentum = Force / distance

20 cm = 0.2 m

5 N/m = F / 0.2 m

F = 1 N

on the surface of planet x a body with a mass of 10 kilograms weighs 40 newtons. The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravit

tamaranim1 [39]

Based on the Newton's second law of motion, the value of the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. If we let a be the acceleration due to gravity, the equation that would allow us to calculate it's value is,
W = m x a
where W is weight, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Substituting the known values,
40 kg m/s² = (10 kg) x a
Calculating for the value of a from the equation will give us an answer equal to 4.
ANSWER: 4 m/s².
