A) 1 cal

B) 80 cal

C) 540 cal

Explanation:

A)

The amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a certain mass of a substance is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem:

m = 1 g is the mass of water

C=1 cal/g^{\circ}C is  the specific heat capacity of water

\Delta T=1^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(1)(1)=1 cal

B)

For a solid substance at its melting point, the amount of heat needed to melt completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_f

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_f is the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance

In this problem:

- The ice is already at melting point, 0 °C

- Mass of the ice: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of fusion of ice: \lambda_f=80 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(80)=80 cal

C)

For a liquid substance at its boiling point, the amount of heat needed to boil completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_v

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_v is the specific latent heat of vaporization of the substance

In this problem:

- The water is already at boiling point, 100 °C

- Mass of the water: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of vaporization of water: \lambda_v=540 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(540)=540 cal

The heat Q transferred to cause a temperature change depends on the magnitude of the temperature change, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase involved.

A radio station broadcasts its music with waves at a frequency of 7.34 x 10²Hz. These radio waves travel at a speed of 3.00x 10%
Lorico [155]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<u>I will use   3 x 10^8 m/s for speed or wave</u>

speed = wavelength * frequency

3 x 10^8  = w * 7.34 x 10^2     <====== are you sure this isn't KILO Hz ?

w = <u>408719. 3 meters   </u>

The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg
kumpel [21]

The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass =6.0 kg

t is the time interval=2 second

From Newton's second law;

\rm \triangle P =m \triangle V \\\\ \triangle P= m(\frac{\triangle x}{\triangle t} )\\\\

From the graph;

\rm \triangle t = 2sec\\\\ \triangle x = (12-8) m

The change in the momentum is;

\rm \triangle P = m\tr(\frac{v-u}{t}) \\\\ \triangle P =9.3 \times \frac{12-8}{2} \\\\ \triangle P= +18.6 \  N.s

Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.
