What is latent heat of fusion?

2 answers:

6 0

There's two forms of latent heat, there's latent heat of fusion which is melting, and there's latent heat of vaporization which is boiling. They describe the direction of energy flow when changing from one thing to the next like solid to liquid, or liquid to gas.

If you have a lump of solid at its melting point ... like ice at 32°F ...
you have to put a certain amount of heat into it just to change it
to water at 32°F. That amount of heat, that's used just to change
a solid lump into liquid without changing its temperature, is called
the heat of fusion for that substance.

The number is different for every substance.

For water, it takes 336 joules of heat to melt 1 gram of ice
into 1 gram of water, all at 32°F (0°C).
That's an enormous latent heat of fusion ... more than almost any
other known substance. That's why ice is such a good choice
when you need something to put in your drink to cool it down.
Ice absorbs a huge amount of heat before it melts and the drink
gets watered down.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

$\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2$

The formula for the induced emf is

$E = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\phi = \texttt {magnetic flux}$

$E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta t}$

$=B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

$\texttt {substitute}\ \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta A$

$E=B\frac{(\Delta \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega$

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

$\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5$

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

$E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V$

Why the effect of gravitational force is more in liquid than in solid?

LekaFEV [45]

Gravitational force depends only on mass and distance, not on the state of matter.
The forces of attraction between molecules in matter are electromagnetic in nature, not gravitational.
These attractive forces are stronger in a solid than in a liquid than in a gas.
Gravitational forces between molecules is completely negligible compared to the em forces.

So, key answer is inter-molecular forces of solids is stronger than liquids.
