Answer:

Sound energy (that is, mechanical vibrational waves passing through an elastic medium) is a combination of kinetic and potential energies. As the wave compresses the medium (storing elastic potential energy) the medium comes to rest (no motion so no kinetic energy).

A satellite revolves around a planet at an altitude equal to the radius of the planet. the force of gravitational interaction be

padilas [110]

Let
M = the mass of the planet
n = the mass of the satellite.
r = the radius of the planet

When the satellite is at a distance r from the surface of the planet, the distance between the centers of the two masses is 2r.
The gravitational force between them is
$f_{0} = \frac{GMm}{(2r)^{2}} = \frac{1}{4} ( \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} )$
where
G = the gravitational constant.

When the satellite is on the surface of the planet, the distance between the two masses is r.
The gravitational force between them is
$f_{4} = \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} =4f_{0}$

Answer: $f_{4} = 4f_{0}$

16 grams of ice at –32°C is to be changed to steam at 182°C. The entire process requires _____ cal. Round your answer to the nea

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

12432 cal.

Explanation:

The process to change ice at -32 ºC to steam at 182 ºC can be divided into 5 steps:

1. Heat the ice to 0 ºC, which is the fusion temperature.

2. Melt the ice (obtaining liquid water), which is a process at constant pressure and temperature, so the liquid obtained is also at 0ºC.

3. Heat the liquid water from 0 ºC to 100 ºC, which is the vaporization normal temperature of the water.

4. Vaporization of all the water; this is also a process that occurs at constant pressure and temperature, so the produced steam will be at 100ºC.

5. Heat the steam from 100 ºC to 182 ºC.

Each process has a required energy, and the sum of the energy required for each and all of the steps is the total amount of energy required for the whole process:

$E_T=E_1+E_2+E_3+E_4+E_5$
