Answer:

The heat energy required, Q = 6193.8 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of ice cube, m = 18.6 g

The heat of fusion of ice, ΔHₓ = 333 J/g

The heat energy of a substance is equal to the product of the mass and heat of fusion of that substance. It is given by the equation,

Q = m · ΔHₓ joules

Substituting the given values in the above equation

Q = 18.6 g x 333 J/g

= 6193.8 J

Hence, the heat required to melt the ice cube is, Q = 6193.8 J

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown.

The correct answer is
c. one person exerts more force than the other so that the forces are unbalanced.

In fact, the door is initially at rest. In order to move the door, a net force different from zero should be applied, according to Newton's second law:
 $\sum F = ma$
where the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on the door, m is the door mass and a its acceleration.

In order to move the door, the acceleration must be different from zero. But this means that the resultant of the forces acting on it must be different from zero: this is possible only if the forces applied by the two persons are unbalanced, i.e. one person exerts more force than the other.

Electronics and inhabitants of the International Space Station generate a significant amount of thermal energy that the station

Answer:

4462.0927 W

Explanation:

$\epsilon$ = Emissivity of the panel = 1

$\sigma$ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = $5.67\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2K^4$

T = Temperature = (273.15+6)

Area of the panel is given by

$A=2\times 1.8\times 3.6\\\Rightarrow A=12.96\ m^2$

The power radiated is given by

$P=\epsilon \sigma AT^4\\\Rightarrow P=1\times 5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 12.96\times (273.15+6)^4\\\Rightarrow P=4462.0927\ W$

The power radiated from each panel is 4462.0927 W

Which type of energy releases greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?

Elan Coil [88]

A) Geothermal
B) Hydroelectric
C)Biomass
D) Wind

I assume this is the four options you had, correct?

i think that biomass is the only one that would release the greenhouse gases. I once heard, it may not be true, that biomass has more co2 released than coal.
