To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the heat transferred to a body to reach a certain temperature. This concept is shaped by the energy ratio of a body which is the product of the mass, its specific heat and the change in temperature. For the specific case, it will be the sum of the heat transferred to the Water, the Aluminum and the loss due to latency due to vaporization in the water. That is to say,

\Delta Q = m_{Al} C_p \Delta T +m_wC_w \Delta T  +m_w L_v

Here,

m_{Al}= Mass of Aluminum

C_p= Specific Heat of Aluminum

C_w= Specific Heat of Water

m_w = Mass of water

L_v =Latent of Vaporization

Replacing,

\Delta Q = (0.85)(900)(100-45)+(2)(2000)(100-45)+(0.7)(2258000)

Converting,

\Delta Q = 1842675J (\frac{0.000239006kCal}{1J})

\Delta Q = 440.409kCal

Therefore is required 440.409kCal

What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?
SVEN [57.7K]

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.

A string of 26 identical Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 120 V source. The string dissipates 73 W. What is th
spin [16.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

R_{eq}= \frac{V}{I}

Here,

V = Voltage

I = Current

While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,

P=VI \rightarrow I = \frac{P}{V}

I =0.608 A

Applying Ohm's law

R_{eq} = \frac{120V}{0.608A}

R_{eq} = 197.4\Omega

Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is 197.4\Omega

Can someone please describe surface tension to me. Please don't give me the dictionary definition. Thank you
11111nata11111 [884]


Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)
