Water evaporates at 100⁰C

So change in temperature = 100-20 = 80⁰C

Amount of water to be evaporated = 1 liter = 1L*1kg/liter = 1 kg

Specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram ⁰C = 4.186 joule/gram =4186 J/kg

So heat required E = mcΔT = 1 * 4186 *80= 334880 J =334.88 kJ

So amount of heat require to evaporate water = 334.88 kJ

In 8.5 s a fisherman winds 2.4 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation)
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

9.412 rad/s.

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position.

V = x/t

Where x is the distance in m

= 2.4 m

t is time taken in s

= 8.5 s

V = 2.4/8.5

= 0.2824 m/s.

Equating linear velocity and angular velocity,

V = ω*r

Where,

ω Is the angular speed in rad/s

r is the radius of the circle in m

= 3 cm

= 3cm * 1m/100 cm = 0.03 m

ω = V/r

= 0.2824/0.03

= 9.412 rad/s.

A plastic rod is charged up by rubbing a wool cloth, and brought to an initially neutral metallic sphere that is insulated from
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

A) is repelled by the sphere.

Explanation:

On rubbing the plastic rod with the wool cloth the rod gains some electrons from the surface of the wool and becomes electrostatically negative in charge.

When this rod is brought near to a neutral metallic sphere then the electrons of the sphere get repelled from the nearest portion of the metallic sphere as it a conductor and the electrons accumulate on the farthest opposite side of the rod.

But when the rod is brought into contact for some time then the from the portion of the rod which is in contact to the sphere loses the electrons from that region to the sphere since plastic is not an electrical conductor so not all the charges travel to the sphere.

Then when the rod is separated, the charges on the sphere spread uniformly and the similar charged rod faces repulsion.
