How much heat is needed to melt 16.5kg of silver that is initially at 20*c?

The Specific Heat Capacity of silver is 230 J/kgK, melting point is 961.8 C so the difference is 941.8K. Now we simply do q=230J/kgK*16.5kg*941.8K and that is 3 574 131 J

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

When fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

When fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

When fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at (\frac{35}{2},0)

When fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

Explanation:

All of the parts of the problem are solved in the same way, so let's start with the first point (1,3).

Let's assume that the rocket's trajectory will be a straight line, so what we need to do here is to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane and then find the x-intercept of such a line.

In order to find the line tangent to the graph of the trajectory of the airplane, we need to start by finding the derivative of such a function:

y=2+\frac{1}{x}

y=2+x^{-1}

y'=-x^{-2}

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=1, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}

m=y'=-1

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-3=-1(x-1})

y-3=-1x+1

y=-x+1+3

y=-x+4

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-x+4=0

and solve for x

x=4

so, when fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2, 2.5)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(2)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{1}{4}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2})

y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+3

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{1}{4}x+3=0

and solve for x

x=12

so, when fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2.5, 2.4)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2.5, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(2.5)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{4}{25}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}(x-2.5})

y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}

y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}+2.4

y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}=0

and solve for x

x=\frac{35}{20}

so, when fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at (\frac{35}{2},0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (4, 2.25)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=4, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(4)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{1}{16}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}(x-4})

y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}

y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}+2.25

y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}=0

and solve for x

x=40

so, when fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

When only several competitors in an industry maintain most of the sales of those items, it is considered a(n) Industry of Social
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Oligopoly

Explanation:

An oligopoly is the structure of the market that is characterized by the domination of a few firms or industries. Other small firms also operate in the same market, but the power concentration is associated with few firms only. Interdependency among the firms helps in planning and strategy making to introduce new ideas to increase the market activities. The competition in the market is reduced when a few of the firms dominate the market. It results in an increase in the price of commodities.
