Ice has a specific heat of 2.093Jg ∘C, liquid water's specific heat is 4.184Jg ∘C, and steam has a specific heat of 1.864Jg ∘C.

Which phase of water will have the lowest temperature change upon heating, when the same amount of heat is applied to each?

Answer:

The liquid phase will have the lowest temperature change upon heating.

Explanation:

Assuming no phase change due to heating, we know that the temperature change, is proportional to the mass heated, being the proportionality constant  a quantity that depends on the material, and represents the resistance of the material to change the temperature, called specific heat.

So, if we assume that the mass is the same for the three phases, and that the amount of heat supplied is also the same,the phase with the highest specific heat will have the lowest temperature change.

So, the liquid phase will be the one that exhibits this behavior, as the specific heat of liquid water (4.184 J/gºC) is the highest among the three phases.

A 10-cm-long wire is pulled along a u-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. the total resistance of the wire
Debora [2.8K]

In the above case we can say that power given by external agent to pull the rod must be equal to the power dissipated in the form of heat due to magnetic induction.

Part a)

when we pull the rod with constant speed then power required will be product of force and velocity

here we will have

P = F.v

P = 4 W

v = 4 m/s

now we will have

4 = F*4

F = 1N

So external force required will be 1 N

PART B)

now in order to find magnetic field strength we can say

P = \frac{v^2B^2L^2}{R}

here we know that induced EMF in the wire is E = vBL

so power due to induced magnetic field is given by

P = \frac{E^2}{R}

4 = \frac{4^2*B^2*0.10^2}{0.20}

by solving above equation we will have

B = 2.24 T

How long does it take light to reach us from the Sun, 1.53x108 km away? Give your answer in minutes.
muminat

Answer:

Sun light takes 8.5 minutes to reach Earth.

Explanation:

Light travels in vacuum at constant speed c= 3 \times 10 ^8 \cfrac ms, so we can find the time it takes to travel the given distance from Earth to Sun using a kinematic equation.

Finding the time it takes for Sun light to reach us.

Using the kinematic equation d = vt, we can solve for time t, which will give us

t = \cfrac dv

We can replace the equation with the given values, but before doing that, we need the values to be on SI units, thus the distance becomes

d= 1.53 \times 10^8 km \times \cfrac{1000 m}{1 km }\\d = 1.53 \times 10^{11} m

Replacing the values on the time equation give us

t = \cfrac{1.53 \times 10^{11} m}{3 \times 10^{8} \cfrac ms}\\t = 510 s

We get as result 510 seconds, then we must convert them in minutes.

t = 510 s \times \cfrac{1 min}{60s}\\\boxed{t = 8.5 min }

So we can conclude that Sun light takes 8.5 minutes to reach Earth.

1. Why is it easier to change the motion of a large toy car than a small toy car?
insens350 [35]
Because it is acted upon by balanced forces.

Toy cars use a variety of mechanisms to make them go, but they all store up potential energy. Although the elastic material inside is usually steel and not rubber, the principle is the same. By changing the shape of the material (usually a coil of metal) energy is stored and then released as motion.

Why does lowered air pressure allow water to boil at room temperature
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

As ambient air pressure decreases, molecules evaporating from a boiling liquid meet less resistance from air molecules and enter the air more easily. Because the vapor pressure can be reduced, the temperature needed to boil the liquid is also reduced.
