The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg and its melting point is -114 o C. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liqu

id state. Calculate the energy needed to melt 2.0 kg of solid alcohol at -114 o C and raise it to a temperature of -14 o C.

Answer:

=170kcal

Explanation:

We first calculate the amount of energy required to melt the alcohol using the formula: MLf, where Lf is the latent heat of fussion

We then calculate amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid alcohol to -14° C using MC∅.  We then add the two.

Thus ΔH=MLf+MC∅

ΔH=2kg×25kcal/kg+ 2kg×(0.6kcal/kg.K×(-14-⁻114)

=50kcal+120kcal

=170kcal

A 22.0 kg child slides down a slide that makes a 37.0° angle with the horizontal. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force
patriot [66]

Answer:

(a) 172.185 N

(b) 53^{\circ}

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the child, m = 22.0 kg

Angle, \theta = 37.0^{\circ}

Now,

(a) The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the slide on the child:

F_{N} = mgcos\theta

F_{N} = 22\times 9.8cos37^{\circ} = 172.185\ N

Now,

(b) The angle from the horizontal at which the force is directed is:

90^{\circ} - 37^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}

Tim's car breaks down just down the street from his house. he and his friends decide to try to push it to his house. using newto
daser333 [38]
Pushing a broke down car, even done by more than one person, is difficult especially if the distance to be covered is quite far. A car is heavy and it requires a lot of force to start the car moving. This is because the inertia of the car to remain at rest is great. Additionally, the force applied in pushing the car must be greater than the frictional force to cause it to accelerate. The frictional force is dependent on the mass of the object which means that the frictional force acting on the car is also great. Finally, with every push of the car, the frictional force will always be present and acting on the opposite direction. The push that will be supplied must be sustained all throughout.

What do biologist geologist have in common how are they different
Delicious77 [7]
The prefix for Bio is life so a biologist studies life of living organisms
The prefix for Geo is earth so it would be the study of earth.
What is in common would be animals and plants
what is different is an Geologist studies only earth Biologist studies everything living. I hope this was helpful and I didn't confuse you.

When you step into a very full bath or hot tub, sometimes the water overflows. But when you step into a lake and swim, you don't
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

This all simply due to the size of the two water bodies question and the your body size in a bath tub the water is small enough to allow the upthrust displace water out if the tub whereas in a lake the water is bigger and your body size is smaller to allow any noticeable upthrust that would cause an overflow

A meteoroid is traveling east through the atmosphere at 18. 3 km/s while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s. What is its speed, i
Annette [7]

Answer:

The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

Explanation:

Given that,

A meteoroid is traveling through the atmosphere at 18.3 km/s. while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s it means 11.5 km/s in south.

We need to draw a diagram

Using Pythagorean theorem

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

AC^2=(18.3)^3+(11.5)^2

AC=\sqrt{(18.3)^2+(11.5)^2}

AC=21.61\ km/s

Hence, The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.
