Answer:

angle = 69.23 degrees west of south

Explanation:

The ship should go to the south at an equal rate as the water flows north so the velocities balance and the ship just move west.

As far as the water is concerned, the ship goes 3.9 m / s to the south, but much remains to the west. To find out that the triangle is drawing. 3.9 m/s point down side  and the hypotenuse is 11cos(angle) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotaneous}.

angle = cos^{-1}(\frac{adjacent}{hypotaneous})

angle = cos^{-1}(\frac{3.9}{11})

angle = 69.23 degrees west of south

Answer:

72.54 degree west of south

Explanation:

flow = 3.9 m/s north

speed = 11 m/s

to find out

point due west from the current position

solution

we know here water is flowing north and ship must go south at an equal rate so that the velocities cancel and the ship just goes west

so it become like triangle with 3.3 point down and the hypotenuse is 11

so by triangle

hypotenuse ×cos(angle) = adjacent side

11 ×cos(angle) = 3.3

cos(angle) = 0.3

angle = 72.54 degree west of south

An open container holds ice of mass 0.555 kg at a temperature of -16.6 ∘C . The mass of the container can be ignored. Heat is su
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: A. 23.59 minutes.

              B. 249.65 minutes

Explanation: This question involves the concept of Latent Heat and specific heat capacities of water in solid phase.

<em>Latent heat </em><em>of fusion </em>is the total amount of heat rejected from the unit mass of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert completely into ice of 0 degree Celsius (and the heat required for vice-versa process).

<em>Specific heat capacity</em> of a substance is the amount of heat required by the unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 kelvin.

Here, <u>given that</u>:

  • mass of ice, m= 0.555 kg
  • temperature of ice, T= -16.6°C
  • rate of heat transfer, q=820 J.min^{-1}
  • specific heat of ice, c_{i}= 2100 J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • latent heat of fusion of ice, L_{i}=334\times10^{3}J.kg^{-1}

<u>Asked:</u>

1. Time require for the ice to start melting.

2. Time required to raise the temperature above freezing point.

Sol.: 1.

<u>We have the formula:</u>

Q=mc\Delta T

Using above equation we find the total heat required to bring the ice from -16.6°C to 0°C.

Q= 0.555\times2100\times16.6

Q= 19347.3 J

Now, we require 19347.3 joules of heat to bring the ice to 0°C  and then on further addition of heat it starts melting.

∴The time required before the ice starts to melt is the time required to bring the ice to 0°C.

t=\frac{Q}{q}

=\frac{19347.3}{820}

= 23.59 minutes.

Sol.: 2.

Next we need to find the time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins.

<em>Now comes the concept of Latent  heat into the play, the temperature does not starts rising for the ice as soon as it reaches at 0°C it takes significant amount of time to raise the temperature because the heat energy is being used to convert the phase of the water molecules from solid to liquid.</em>

From the above solution we have concluded that 23.59 minutes is required for the given ice to come to 0°C, now we need some extra amount of energy to convert this ice to liquid water of 0°C.

<u>We have the equation:</u> latent heat, Q_{L}= mL_{i}

Q_{L}= 0.555\times334\times10^{3}= 185370 J

<u>Now  the time required for supply of 185370 J:</u>

t=\frac{Q_{L}}{q}

t=\frac{185370}{820}

t= 226.06 minutes

∴ The time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins= 226.06 + 23.59

= 249.65 minutes

How would electron domains impact the magnetism of the substance?
Vanyuwa [196]
Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, and ferrimagnetic materials like ferrite. ... Magnetic domains form in materials which have magnetic ordering; that is, their dipoles spontaneously align due to the exchange interaction.

Evaporating water produces gaseous water. What has occurred during this process?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Heat has accelerated water atoms enough to break the surface tension which leads the liquid to turn into a gas

Explanation:

The state of a substance depends on the distribution of its atoms, therefore any atmosphere change (in this case heat) enough to change the atoms Distribution results in a change of state.
