The energy released when a certain amount of a substance condenses to a liquid is given by:

$Q=m \lambda_v$

where m is the mass of the substance and $\lambda_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization.

In this problem, the mass is m=0.06 kg, while the latent heat of vaporization of mercury is $\lambda_v=296 kJ/ kg$ . Therefore, if we apply the formula we get:

$Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/ kg)=17.76 kJ=17760 J$

So, the correct answer is

C. 17,705.1 J

A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.

If you quadruple the temperature of a black body, by what factor will the total energy radiated per second per square meter incr

arlik [135]

<u>In modern physics</u>, as it was called "Stefan-Boltzmann law", the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body's temperature T

as:

$P\alpha T^4$
