In 2002, a gargantuan iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Sheet in Antarctica. It was approximately a rectangle 218 km long, 25

.0 km wide, and 250.0 m thick.
A) What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917 kg/m3?
B) How much heat transfer (in joules) is needed to melt the iceberg?
C) How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 109 W/m2, 12.0 hours per day?

Answer:

a) 1.25e15 kg

b) 4.17e20 J

c) 44.55 years

Explanation:

To find the volume you need to multiply 218 km * 25 km * 250 m (be careful with units), so the volume is 1.3625e12 m^3, if you multiply this value by the density you will obtain the mass, that is 1.25e15 kg.

To find the energy needed to melt the ice, you use the latent heat, in this case, it is 3.34e5 J/kg. Now you multiply this value by the mass, so you need 4.17e20 J to melt the iceberg.

The surface area of the iceberg is 545e7 m^2, so the ice absorbs 594e9 W, one W is one J/s, so in 12 hours the iceberg absorbs 2.56e16 J, so in 365 days absorbs 9.36e18 J. Now you just divide 4.17e20 J by the amount f energy per year, and obtain 44.55 years.

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied​
never [62]

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman  = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

        Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

         Force  = Pressure x area

        Force  = 300 x 0.02  = 6N

If there was a small sphere freely suspended in plane poiseuille flow, how would you go about using linearity to prove that the
Blizzard [7]

Answer Explanation :

Poiseuille equation: this equation is used for non ideal flow this is used for the calculation of pressure in laminar flow it is physical law we know that fluid in laminar flow, flows across the pipe whose diameter is larger than the length of pipe

in mathematical form the equation can be expressed as

Q = \frac{(P_2-P_1) r^{4}\times \pi}{8\times\eta \times l }

where η is the cofficient of viscosity

now if we assume a small sphere of radius a is suspended freely in the plane of the laminar flow then for assuring that the sphere does not migrate with the flow we have to calculate the rate of flow of the liquid

1 7.1.2 Quiz: Electrostatics
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

charge and distance

Explanation:

The electric force between the two particles are calculated using the formular:

F = kQ₁Q₂ / d²

where:

F = force.

k= Coulomb's law constant.

Q1 and Q2 are the charges.

d= distance.

the equation above is called Coulomb's law.

It can be seen from the equation above that the electric forces between the objects are majorly affected by the substance's charges and distance.

so the correct option is charge and distance.
