Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster.  Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

Q_1=100\times x

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules

Thus total energy needed equals Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules

Now by conservation of energy we have

Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g
