The steel ball in a pinball game rolls around a flat, tilted surface. If you flick the ball straight uphill, it gradually slows

to a stop and then begins to roll downhill. Which direction is the ball accelerating (a) as it rolls uphill? (b) as it rolls downhill?

Why: As the steel ball rolls uphill, the velocity gradually decreases and finally the ball stops, thus, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction of motion (that is downhill). After the stop, the ball will start rolling downhill by an increasing velocity, thus, the acceleration in this case will be in the same direction as the motion (downhill again).

How much thermal energy is needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point? Use Q = masslaten heat of fusion.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Latent heatnof fusion = 417.5 J

Explanation:

Specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334kJ.kg-1.

The heat required to melt water when it's ice I called latent heat because there is no temperature change, the only change observed is change in physical structure.

The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of solid to its liquid state (at its melting point) at atmospheric pressure is called Latent heat of Fusion.

Latent heat = ML

Latent heat= 1.25 kg * 334kJ.kg-1

Latent heat = 1.25*334 *(J/kg)*kg

Latent heat = 417.5 J

To balance a chemical equation we use______. <br> -coefficients <br> -subscripts
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

  • Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a chemical equation should be equivalent to the mass of the products.
  • The conservation of mass is achieved in chemical equations is achieved through balancing chemical equations.
  • <em><u>Balancing chemical equations is a try and error of putting appropriate coefficients to the reactants or products to ensure that the number of atoms of each element are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products. </u></em>

An insulated beaker with negligible mass contains 0.250 kg of water at 75.0C. How many kilograms of ice at -20.0C must be droppe
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg

Explanation:

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water

Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C

To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.

Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C

Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m

Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J

543600 m = 36627.5

m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.
