Find the quantity of heat needed

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $3.99\times 10^{4}\; \rm J$ (assuming that the melting point of ice is $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ .)

Explanation:

Convert the unit of mass to kilograms, so as to match the unit of the specific heat capacity of ice and of water.

$\begin{aligned}m&= 100\; \rm g \times \frac{1\; \rm kg}{1000\; \rm g} \\ &= 0.100\; \rm kg\end{aligned}$

The energy required comes in three parts:

Energy required to raise the temperature of that $0.100\; \rm kg$ of ice from $(-10\; \rm ^\circ C)$ to $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ (the melting point of ice.)
Energy required to turn $0.100\; \rm kg$ of ice into water while temperature stayed constant.
Energy required to raise the temperature of that newly-formed $0.100\; \rm kg$ of water from $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ to $10\;\ rm ^\circ C$ .

The following equation gives the amount of energy $Q$ required to raise the temperature of a sample of mass $m$ and specific heat capacity $c$ by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ ,

where

$c$ is the specific heat capacity of the material,
$m$ is the mass of the sample, and
$\Delta T$ is the change in the temperature of this sample.

For the first part of energy input, $c(\text{ice}) = 2100\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1}$ whereas $m = 0.100\; \rm kg$ . Calculate the change in the temperature:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta T &= T(\text{final}) - T(\text{initial}) \\ &= (0\; \rm ^\circ C) - (-10\; \rm ^\circ C) \\ &= 10\; \rm K\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the energy required to achieve that temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q_1 &= c(\text{ice}) \cdot m(\text{ice}) \cdot \Delta T\\ &= 2100\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1} \\ &\quad\quad \times 0.100\; \rm kg \times 10\; \rm K\\ &= 2.10\times 10^{3}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, for the third part of energy input, $c(\text{water}) = 4200\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1}$ whereas $m = 0.100\; \rm kg$ . Calculate the change in the temperature:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta T &= T(\text{final}) - T(\text{initial}) \\ &= (10\; \rm ^\circ C) - (0\; \rm ^\circ C) \\ &= 10\; \rm K\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the energy required to achieve that temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q_3&= c(\text{water}) \cdot m(\text{water}) \cdot \Delta T\\ &= 4200\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1} \\ &\quad\quad \times 0.100\; \rm kg \times 10\; \rm K\\ &= 4.20\times 10^{3}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

The second part of energy input requires a different equation. The energy $Q$ required to melt a sample of mass $m$ and latent heat of fusion $L_\text{f}$ is:

$Q = m \cdot L_\text{f}$ .

Apply this equation to find the size of the second part of energy input:

$\begin{aligned}Q_2&= m \cdot L_\text{f}\\&= 0.100\; \rm kg \times 3.36\times 10^{5}\; \rm J\cdot kg^{-1} \\ &= 3.36\times 10^{4}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Find the sum of these three parts of energy:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 = 3.99\times 10^{4}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Atmosphere

Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a=v-u/t

a=acceleration

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

t=tme taken

we need to convert from kph to ms⁻¹

v= 150*1000/60*60= 41.67ms⁻¹

u= 120*1000/60*60= 33.33ms⁻¹

t= 2*60= 120s

a=41.67-33.33/120

a=8.34/120

a=0.0694ms⁻²

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

$=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V$

ΔV=0.484mV
