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

Answer:
The displacement is zero miles
Explanation:
The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as
Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.
In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.
The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:
The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Horizontal Launch </u>
It happens when an object is launched with an angle of zero respect to the horizontal reference. It's characteristics are:
- The horizontal speed is constant and equal to the initial speed
- The vertical speed is zero at launch time, but increases as the object starts to fall
- The height of the object gradually decreases until it hits the ground
- The horizontal distance where the object lands is called the range
We have the following formulas
Where is the initial horizontal speed,
is the vertical speed, t is the time, g is the acceleration of gravity, x is the horizontal distance, and y is the height.
If we know the initial height of the object, we can compute the time it takes to hit the ground by using
Rearranging and solving for t
We then replace this value in
To get
The initial speed depends on the initial height y=32.5 m, the range x=107.6 m and g=9.8 m/s^2. Computing
The launch velocity is
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
two holes are made with different sizes
Hole 1 is large in size and hole 2 is small
If the volume flow rate of water is same for both the hole then small hole must be below the large hole because for same flow rate, velocity of water is large while cross-sectional area is small so it compensate to give same flow for both the holes.
Now for radius apply Bernoulli's theorem at hole 1 and 2
if hole 1 is h distance below water surface then
