Flura [38]3 years ago

In our solar system, terrestrial planets are separated from the gas giants by the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids are located. Gas giants do not have a solid surface and possible a small rocky core. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

What is the melting point of substance A?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Solids are easily recognized by their ability to retain a fixed shape and definite volume. Particles making

up a solid are held together in a rigid form. They are not free to move about or slide past one another and

the solid does not have the ability to flow. (Although the particles of a solid do not move position to position, they do have motion in that they are constantly vibrating.

To change the temperature of a solid, heat energy must be added. The amount of heat energy that changes

the temperature of 1.0 g of a solid by 1.0°C is called its specific heat (c). Each substance has its own

specific heat. The specific heat of ice is 2.1 Joules/g°C. In other words we must supply 1.0 gram of ice

with 2.1 Joules of heat energy to raise its temperature by 1.0 °C.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change the temperature of a solid is:

Heat = Mass x Specific Heat (solid) x Temperature Change

Q = m c DT

10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at -20 °C to 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C. (A-B)

Q = mc∆T = (10 g) (2.1 J/g°C) (20°C) = 420 J

If you continue to add heat energy once the temperature of the ice reaches 0°C , the heat absorbed is called

the heat of fusion (Lf). This heat is used to cause a change of phase (from a solid to a liquid). This heat is

increasing the potential energy of the molecules of the solid. No temperature change takes place. Each

substance has its own heat of fusion. The heat of fusion for ice is 340 Joules/g. Exactly the same amount

of heat is given up when 1.0 g of water is changed to ice. This heat is called the heat of crystallization.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change a solid to a liquid is:

Heat = Mass x Heat of Fusion

Q = m Lf

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C to 10 g of water(l) at 0°C.(B-C)

Explanation:

Q = mLf = (10 g)( 340 J/g) = 3400 J

With time, momentum increases as it builds speed assuming their is nothing in the way to stop it. Based on the graph, you can see that example being displayed as the line on the graph gets higher

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.
