Answer:

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

$s = 240 J/kg C$

now we will have

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

$\Delta T = 961.8 - 20$

$\Delta T = 941.8 degree C$

now from above equation

$Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6$

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

A voltage amplifier with an input resistance of 40k ohms, an output resistance of 100 ohms, and a gain of 300 V/V is connected b

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

89.45 v/v

Explanation:

Let's take the data:

First draw the amplifier circuit.

After the circuit, the voltage division rule can be used to compute the parameters:

The input section is computed like this: $\frac{R_{in} }{(R_{sig} + R_{in} } (v_{sig})$

The output section is computed like this $R_{L}/ (R_out} + R_{in} )$

The product A $V_{in} V_{out}$ gives

A $V_{in} V_{out}$ = A× $\frac{R_{in} }{(R_{sig} + R_{in} } (v_{sig})$ × $R_{L}/ (R_out} + R_{in} )$

Computing gives output voltage = 89.45 v/v

Pavel [41]

Answer:

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

Explanation:

You are camping in the breathtaking mountains if Colorado. You spy an unopened diet soda can floating motionless below the surface of a lake. What is the direction and amount of force the water exerts on it?

A. Zero

B. Down, equal to the can's weight

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

D. Not enough information is given

from the principle of flotation which states that a

When a body displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. : A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. ... Archimedes' principle equates the buoyant force to the weight of the fluid displaced.

the upthrust (this is the upward vertical force exerted on an object in fluid)in the water equals the weight of the body in water it floats.

A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The period of the motion will still be equal to T.

Explanation:

for a system with mass = M

attached to a massless spring.

If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A

and has period T

The equation for the period T is given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }$

where k is the spring constant

If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.

From the concepts you have learned in this module, how are you going to assess

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.
