Answer: A. 23.59 minutes.

              B. 249.65 minutes

Explanation: This question involves the concept of Latent Heat and specific heat capacities of water in solid phase.

<em>Latent heat </em><em>of fusion </em>is the total amount of heat rejected from the unit mass of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert completely into ice of 0 degree Celsius (and the heat required for vice-versa process).

<em>Specific heat capacity</em> of a substance is the amount of heat required by the unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 kelvin.

Here, <u>given that</u>:

  • mass of ice, m= 0.555 kg
  • temperature of ice, T= -16.6°C
  • rate of heat transfer, q=820 J.min^{-1}
  • specific heat of ice, c_{i}= 2100 J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • latent heat of fusion of ice, L_{i}=334\times10^{3}J.kg^{-1}

<u>Asked:</u>

1. Time require for the ice to start melting.

2. Time required to raise the temperature above freezing point.

Sol.: 1.

<u>We have the formula:</u>

Q=mc\Delta T

Using above equation we find the total heat required to bring the ice from -16.6°C to 0°C.

Q= 0.555\times2100\times16.6

Q= 19347.3 J

Now, we require 19347.3 joules of heat to bring the ice to 0°C  and then on further addition of heat it starts melting.

∴The time required before the ice starts to melt is the time required to bring the ice to 0°C.

t=\frac{Q}{q}

=\frac{19347.3}{820}

= 23.59 minutes.

Sol.: 2.

Next we need to find the time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins.

<em>Now comes the concept of Latent  heat into the play, the temperature does not starts rising for the ice as soon as it reaches at 0°C it takes significant amount of time to raise the temperature because the heat energy is being used to convert the phase of the water molecules from solid to liquid.</em>

From the above solution we have concluded that 23.59 minutes is required for the given ice to come to 0°C, now we need some extra amount of energy to convert this ice to liquid water of 0°C.

<u>We have the equation:</u> latent heat, Q_{L}= mL_{i}

Q_{L}= 0.555\times334\times10^{3}= 185370 J

<u>Now  the time required for supply of 185370 J:</u>

t=\frac{Q_{L}}{q}

t=\frac{185370}{820}

t= 226.06 minutes

∴ The time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins= 226.06 + 23.59

= 249.65 minutes

A .422 kg coffee mug rests on a table top 0.63 m above the floor. What is the potential energy of the mug with respect to the fl
kondaur [170]

Answer:

2.61 J

Explanation:

Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.

Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.

We compute U

U = mgy

= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m

= 2.605 J

≅ 2.61 J

So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J

Oksana_A [137]
Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.
