What is the amount of heat, in Sl units, necessary to melt 1 lb of ice?

Physics
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is 151.469 KJ

Explanation:

We have given mass of ice = 1 lb

We know that 1 lb = 0.4535 kg

Latent heat of fusion for ice =334 KJ/kg

Amount if heat for fusion of ice is given by

Q=mL, here m is mass of ice and L is latent heat of fusion

So heat Q=mL=0.4535\times 334=151.469kj

So heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is equal to 151.469 KJ

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is 29.86km/s

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50x10^{8} km.

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}  (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

(r = 1.50x10^{8}km) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d} ⇒ 31557600s

Then, equation 1 can be used:

v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}

v = 29.86km/s

The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 9.0-cm-diameter, 140-cm-long cylinder. The aver
Crank

Answer:

The potential difference is 121.069 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m

Length of the cylinder, l = 40 cm = 1.4 m

Average Resistivity, \rho = 5.5\ \Omega-m

Current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Now,

To calculate the potential difference between the hands:

Cross- sectional Area of the Cylinder, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = 6.36\times 10^{- 3}\ m^{2}

Resistivity is given by:

\rho = R\frac{A}{l}

R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

R = 5.5\times \frac{1.4}{6.36\times 10^{- 3}} = 1210.69\ \Omega

Now, using Ohm's Law:

V = IR

V = 0.1\times 1210.69 = 121.069\ V

The center of gravity is defined as: a. The part of the skeleton composed of the bones of the vertebral column, ribs, and skull
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

d. Imaginary point through which the resultant force of gravity acts on an object

Explanation:

Gravity acting on all particle points of the object, no matter how small they are. As a combination, the center of gravity would denote a single point which  substitutes for all the gravity forces on the object.
