Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

It depends on what that "certain amount" is.

ow long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly ten swings per second? (That is, one complete vibration takes exactly
Igoryamba
The period T of a pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum while g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration.

In the pendulum of the problem, one complete vibration takes exactly 0.200 s, this means its period is T=0.200 s. Using this data, we can solve the previous formula to find L:
L=g ( \frac{T}{2\pi} )^2=(9.81 m/s^2)( \frac{0.2 s}{2 \pi} )^2=1 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1 mm

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.
