When silver is poured into the mould the it will solidify

In this process the phase of the Silver block will change from liquid to solid.

This phase change will lead to release in heat and this heat is known as latent heat of fusion.

The formula to find the latent heat of fusion is given as

$Q = mL$

here given that

$m = mass = 500 g$

$L = 111 kJ/kg$

now we can find the heat released

$Q = 0.5 * 111 kJ$

$Q = 55.5 kJ$

So it will release total heat of 55.5 kJ when it will solidify

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 15 meters per second and an initial vertical velocity of 25 meters per second

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the projectile is a uniform motion with constant speed, since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal acceleration is zero.

The horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile is

$v_x = 15 m/s$

and it is constant during the motion;

the total time of flight is

t = 5 s

Therefore, we can apply the formula of the uniform motion to find the horizontal displacement of the projectile:

$d= v_x t =(15 m/s)(5 s)=75 m$

Carlos gives a grocery cart a 60-N push. The cart has a mass of 40 kg. What is the cart's acceleration?

andre [41]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.5 m/s²

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Force as 60 N

Mass of the Cart as 40 kg

We are required to calculate the acceleration of the cart.

From the newton's second law of motion, the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force.
That is, F = ma , where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

Rearranging the formula we can calculate acceleration, a

a = F ÷ m

= 60 N ÷ 40 kg

= 1.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 1.5 m/s²

____ is the detection of halo objects like brown dwarfs when their gravitational fields concentrate the light of distant sources

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Microlensing.

Explanation:

This techniques is called Microlensing.

Microlensing is a method of gravitational lensing where light from a backdrop point of origin is curved to develop distorted, numerous and/or lightened images by the gravity field of a foreground lens.

This method is very effective in discovering planets that are far-far from earth.It is actually an astronomical effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
