Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

$Q=m \lambda_v$

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

$\lambda_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is $\lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg$ , so the heat released during the process is:

$Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J$

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J

The energy ( in joules ) released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature is about 697.08 J. in other to solve this problem, should know the latent heat of fusion of mercury which is equal to about 11.4 kJ/kg and multiplying by mass of mercury.

E fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe corresponds to the middle c (261.6 hz on the chromatic musical scale). the third r

luda_lava [24]

The wavelength of the third resonance of the closed organ pipe is equal to the ratio between the speed of sound and the frequency of the 3rd harmonic:

$\lambda_3 = \frac{c}{f_3}=\frac{343 m/s}{261.6 Hz} =1.31 m$

The relationship between length of a closed pipe and wavelength of the standing waves inside is:

$L=\frac{n}{4}\lambda_n$

where n is the number of the harmonic. In this case, n=3, so the length of the pipe is

$L=\frac{3}{4}(1.31 m)=0.98 m$

If the room radius is 4.5 m, and the rotation frequency is 0.8 revolutions per second when the floor drops out, what is the mini

kondaur [170]

The force of static friction F equals the coefficient of friction u times the normal force N the object exerts on the surface: F = uN. N is the centripetal force of the wall on the people; N = ma_N, where m is the mass of the people and a_N is the centripetal acceleration. The people will not slip down if F is greater than the force of gravitation: F = uma_N > mg, or u > g/a_N. a_N is the velocity v of the people squared divided by the radius of the room r: a_N = v^2/r. The circumference of the room is 2 pi r = 28.3 m. So v = 28.3 * 0.8 m/sec = 22.6 m/sec. So a_N = 114 m/sec^2. g = 9.81 m/sec^2, so u must be at least 9.81/114 = 0.086.

The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. How will this change the force of attractio

tigry1 [53]

The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. Since they were already separated by one time the original distance,
the additional three times the oringinal distance now puts them four times the original distance apart.

Whether we're talking about the gravitational forces of attraction or
the electrical forces of attraction, either one is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects.

So changing the distance to four times the original distance causes
the forces to become 1/4² as strong as they were originally.

The forces become 1/16 of their original magnitude.

If the distance of a galaxy is 2,000 Mpc, how many years back into the past are we looking when we observe this galaxy

ruslelena [56]

The age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The given parameters:

distance of the galaxy, x = 2,000 Mpc

According Hubble's law the age of the universe is calculated as follows;

v = H₀x

where;

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

$T = \frac{x}{V} \\\\T = \frac{x}{xH_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{H_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{70 \ km/s/Mpc} \\\\T = \frac{1 \ sec}{70 \times 3.24 \times 10^{-20} } \\\\T = 4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\\\\T = \frac{4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\ \times \ years}{3600 \ s \ \times\ 24\ h\ \times \ 365.25 \ days} \\\\T = 1.397 \times 10^{10} \ years\\\\T = 13.97 \ billion \ years$

Thus, the age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to

ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.
