How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?

Physics
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
3 0

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

What parameters affects the inductance of a coil​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Number of Wire Turns in the Coil.

Explanation:

The greater the number of turns of wire in the coil, the greater the inductance. Fewer turns of wire in the coil results in lesser inductance. More coils of wires indicate a greater amount of magnetic field force for a given amount of coil current.

Why do objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path
LenaWriter [7]
The initial force of the throw overcomes gravity quite easily. Then, gravity begins to bring it back down to earth, making a curved path.

Which is not true of the Intertropical Convergence Zone?A) It features heavy precipitation B) It's where the trade winds collide
olasank [31]
<h2>Answer: C) It's a high-pressure zone with sinking air</h2>

Explanation:

The intertropical convergence zone is the region of the terrestrial globe where the trade winds of the northern hemisphere converge with those of the southern hemisphere.  

It is characterized by being <u>a belt of low pressure</u> and inconsistent location around the equator constituted by ascending air currents, where large masses of warm and humid air converge from the north and south of the intertropical zone.  

The reason of its inconsistent location is due to the movements of the Earth with the seasons, having as a consequence the amount variation of heat energy from the sun in this region.

An enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

t = 0.437 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound is a constant that is worth v = 343 m / s

           v = d / t

            t = d / v

the time it takes for the sound to reach Clark at d = 150 m is

           t = 150/343

           t = 0.437 s

This same sound takes much longer to reach you

          t₂ = 127 10³/343

          t₂ = 370 s
