Complete question is;

One end of a uniform well-lagged metal bar of length 0.80 m and cross-sectional area of 4.0 x 10-3m2 is kept in steam at 100 ˚C while the other end is in melting ice in a well-lagged container. The ice melts at a steady rate of 5.5 x 10- 4 kgs-1 and the thermal conductivity of the material of the bar is 401 Wm-1K-1. Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice

Answer:

Specific Latent heat of fusion;

L_f = 13.6 × 10^(5) J/kg

Explanation:

We are given;

Length of bar; L = 0.8 m

Area;A = 4 × 10^(-3) m²

Temperature;ΔT= 100°C = 100 + 273 = 373 K

Rate of melting;m/t = 5.5 × 10^(-4) kg/s

Thermal conductivity;k = 401 W/m·K

Latent heat of fusion has a formula;

ΔQ/Δt = (m/t)•L_f

So, L_f = (ΔQ/Δt)/(m/t) - - - (1)

We also know that ;

ΔQ/Δt = (ΔT × k × A)/L

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

ΔQ/Δt = (373 × 401 × 4 × 10^(-3))/0.8

ΔQ/Δt = 747.865 J/S

Plugging this value for ΔQ/Δt in equation 1 gives;

L_f = 747.865/(5.5 × 10^(-4))

L_f = 13.6 × 10^(5) J/kg

How many photons with 10 ev are required to produce 20 joules of energy?
oee [108]
One electron Volt (eV) is equal to 1.6 x 10^-19 Joules. Therefore, 10 eV is equal to 1.6 x 10^-18 Joules. In order to produce 20 Joules of energy from 10 eV photons, we would require 20 x 1/(1.6  x 10^-18) = 1.25 x 10^19 particles. This demonstrates that in the world of particle physics, the Joule is a massive energy unit relative to the commonly used electron Volt.

Why might a major volcanic eruption lead to cooler global temperatures? Explain your answer.
irina [24]

Answer:

Volcanic eruptions cool down  the planet

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions actually cool the planet because the particles ejected from volcanoes shade incoming solar radiation. ... The small ash and aerosol particles decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth and lower average global temperatures.

Hope this helps!!! :D

If a receiver is overly selective:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.

Explanation:

Selectivity is the ability of a receiver to respond only to a specific signal on a wanted frequency and reject other signals nearby in frequency.

If a receiver is overly selective, only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results. Whereas, if a receiver is underselective, the receiver can pick different signals on different frequencies at the same time.

A 34-kg child on an 18-kg swing set swings back and forth through small angles. If the length of the very light supporting cable
kompoz [17]

Answer:

4.44s

Explanation:

A 34-kg child on an 18-kg swing set swings back and forth through small angles. If the length of the very light supporting cables for the swing is 4.9 m, how long does it take for each complete back-and-forth swing? Assume that the child and swing set are very small compared to the length of the cables

since the mass of the child and that of the swing is negligible, the masses wont be involved in the calculation

T=2π√L/g

g=acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2

the length of the supporting cable is 4.9m

T the period

period is the time required to make a complete oscillation

T=2*π√4.9/9.81

T=2*π*0.706

T=4.44s

4.44s
