Answer: i know that ice is denser than water because of the reason why ice is expanding:air. ice has tiny air packets inside that make it bigger than the original state(the state which a substance is at at room temperature.

Explanation:

Iron is an element that has been known in its pure form for at least 5,000 years. The name "iron" comes from the...

The element symbol for iron is Fe, which comes from the Latin word for iron, "ferrum."

Iron is one of the most plentiful elements. It comprises about 5.6 percent of the Earth's crust and almost all of its core

Iron is a transition metal.

Animals and plants require iron. Plants use iron in chlorophyll, the pigment used in photosynthesis. Humans use iron in hemoglobin molecules in blood to allow for the transport of oxygen to tissues throughout the body.

Why does the band of stability curve upward at high atomic numbers? excess neutrons are required due to the repulsion between th

ella [17]

The band of stability curves upward at high atomic numbers due to the fact that excess of neutrons are required due to the repulsion between protons.

Atomic number is the number of protons. As the number of protons (atomic number) increase, the electrical repulsion force, due to the same sign of the protons inside the nucleus, becomes more dominant compared to the nuclear force attractions, then the nucleus needs more neutrons to gain stability.The presence of more neutrons decrease the density of protons which decreases the repulsion among them.

What is the difference in the speed of the generator with a small magnet and a generator with a large magnet?

Delvig [45]

With a small magnet with a generator it will be taken up quickly because how small it is while with a big generator it would take more force for it for the generator to attach because the larger the magnet that heavier it will be because it is attached to the North Pole magnet

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

A cold beverage can be kept cold even a warm day if it is slipped into a porous ceramic container that has been soaked in water.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

The rate at which the container is losing water is 0.0006418 g/s.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that the can is a closed system, the conservation law applied to the system would be: $E_{in}-E_{out}=E_{change}$ , where $E_{in}$ is all energy entering the system, $E_{out}$ is the total energy leaving the system and, $E_{change}$ is the change of energy of the system.
As the purpose is to kept the beverage can at constant temperature, the change of energy ( $E_{change}$ ) would be 0.
The energy that goes into the system, is the heat transfer by radiation from the environment to the top and side surfaces of the can. This kind of transfer is described by: $Q=\varepsilon*\sigma*A_S*(T_{\infty}^4-T_S^4)$ where $\varepsilon$ is the emissivity of the surface, $\sigma=5.67*10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^2K}$ known as the Stefan–Boltzmann constant, $A_S$ is the total area of the exposed surface, $T_S$ is the temperature of the surface in Kelvin, $T_{\infty}$ is the environment temperature in Kelvin.
For the can the surface area would be ta sum of the top and the sides. The area of the top would be $A_{top}=\pi* r^2=\pi(0.0252m)^2=0.001995m^2$ , the area of the sides would be $A_{sides}=2*\pi*r*L=2*\pi*(0.0252m)*(0.09m)=0.01425m^2$ . Then the total area would be $A_{total}=A_{top}+A_{sides}=0.01624m^2$
Then the radiation heat transferred to the can would be $Q=\varepsilon*\sigma*A_S*(T_{\infty}^4-T_S^4)=1*5.67*10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^2K}*0.01624m^2*((32+273K)^4-(17+273K)^4)=1.456W$ .
The can would lost heat evaporating water, in this case would be $Q_{out}=\frac{dm}{dt}*h_{fg}$ , where $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of mass of water evaporated and, $h_{fg}$ is the heat of vaporization of the water ( $2257\frac{J}{g}$ ).
Then in the conservation balance: $Q_{in}-Q_{out}=Q_{change}$ , it would be $1.45W-\frac{dm}{dt}*2257\frac{j}{g}=0$ .
Recall that $1W=1\frac{J}{s}$ , then solving for $\frac{dm}{dt}$ : $\frac{dm}{dt}=\frac{1.45\frac{J}{s} }{2257\frac{J}{g} }=0.0006452\frac{g}{s}$
