Xamine the graph. Select the statement that best describes the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting.

Physics
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago

Answer:

  • Option B) Absorbed energy results in the change in potential energy.

Explanation:

Please, find attached the graph that accompanies this question.

The<em> melting</em> proces is the change from solid phase to liquid phase. It is represented with the lower flat line with the symbol ΔHfus over it.

The line is flat because the temperature remains constant during this process. Thus, you know the option "C) As the temperature increases during melting, the kinetic energy also increases" is FALSE.

What happens during this process is:

  • Most of the energy received by the particles from heating, during the melting process, goes to overcome the intermolecular bonds between the particles. This results in increasing the distance between the particles, so the internal potential energy increases. This is what the option <em>"B) Absorbed energy results in the change in potential energy" correctly describes.</em> Hence, option B) is TRUE.

Althoug most of the heat energy received is transformed into potential energy, yet a small part of the heat energy increases a bit the kinetic energy of the particles, because the particles will vibrate faster around their relatively fixed positions. Hence, the option "<em>A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchanged</em>" is FALSE.

As for option D) it is not reasonable at all: none chemical or physical priciple can be used to state that <em>the kinetic energy decreases as the particles move farther apart</em>. Thus, this is FALSE.

A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step
Crazy boy [7]
From laws of motion:

S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s


Substitute the values, hence:
S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6
S = (18) \times 6 \\  \\ S = 108m

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m

When baking soda and vinegar are mixed together bubbles form and the vinegar and baking soda are changed into new chemicals. Thi
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

A. Chemical change

Explanation:

When vinegar and baking soda are first mixed together, hydrogen ions in the vinegar react with the sodium and bicarbonate ions in the baking soda. The result of this initial reaction is two new chemicals: carbonic acid and sodium acetate.

A cylinder contains 3.5 L of oxygen at 350 K and 2.7 atm . The gas is heated, causing a piston in the cylinder to move outward.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The pressure is P_2  =  1.84 \  a.t.m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first  volume of  is  v_1  =  3.5 \ L

   The first  pressure is  P_1  =  2.7 \ a.t.m

   The first  temperature is  T_1  =  350 \ K

    The  new temperature is  T_2  =  620 \ K

     The  new volume is  V_2  =  9.1 \ a.t.m

Generally according to the combined gas law we have that

      \frac{P_1 V_1  }{T_1 }  =  \frac{P_2  V_2 }{T_2 }

=>  P_2  =  \frac{P_1  *  V_1  *  T_2 }{T_1  *  V_2 }

=>    P_2  =  \frac{ 2.7  *  3.5   *  620 }{ 350  *  9.1 }

=>  P_2  =  1.84 \  a.t.m
