The correct answer to the question is B) Absorbing energy.

EXPLANATION:

As per our question, the substance is melting at constant pressure.

Melting is a process of phase change in which a solid substance is converted into liquid at its melting point. For instance, melting of ice.

The thermal energy of the liquid is more as compared to solid. Hence, the solid must have to absorb energy to be converted into liquid. The absorbed energy will be utilized in changing the solid into its corresponding liquid.

As melting is a process of phase change or state change, the temperature of the substance will be constant as long as total solid is not converted into liquid. Hence, the kinetic energy of the substance will be constant. So, the energy absorbed during melting will only change the configuration of the substance i.e the absorbed energy is converted into potential energy of the system.

Hence, the correct answer of the question is that energy is absorbed during melting.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

250g = 0.25kg

F = m × a

a = F/m

= 1.2/0.25

= 4.8m/s²

A 17926-lb truck enters an emergency exit ramp at a speed of 75.6 ft/s. It travels for 6.4 s before its speed is reduced to 30.3

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$F_{braking}=337299 pdl$

Explanation:

Impulse-Momentum relation:

$I=\Delta p\\ F_{total}*t=m(v_{f}-v{o})$

$F_{total}=-F_{braking}+mgsin{\theta}$

We solve the equations in order to find the braking force:

$F_{braking}=m(v_{o}-v{f})/t+mgsin{\theta}=17926(75.6-30.3)/6.4+17926*32.17*sin21.4=337299 pdl$

Answer:

"When face is placed between the concave mirror and its focus, it produces a magnified image. This enlarged image of face is helpful in makeup as even pores of skin are clearly visible."

5. Each of five satellites makes a circular orbit about an object that is much more massive than any of the satellites. The mass

Vikentia [17]

The options of the question are missing. I have attached it.

Answer:

Satellite in option B will have the greatest speed.

Explanation:

From kepplers third law, we know that

V² = GM/R

Thus, v = √(GM/R)

Where;

v is velocity

G is gravitational constant

M is mass

R is radius

Looking at the options, let's start from the first one;

Option A

Here, mass = (1/2)m and radius = R

So, v = √(GM/R) thus v = √(G(m/2)/R) = √(Gm/2R)

Option B

Here, mass = m and radius = (1/2)R

Thus v = √(Gm/(R/2)) = √(2Gm/R)

Option C

Here, mass = m and radius = R

Thus v = √(Gm/R)

Option D

Here, mass = m and radius = 2R

Thus v = √(Gm/(2R))

Now, inspecting all the options, it's clear that option B will have the greatest velocity because it's numerator is the biggest and will in turn lead to higher velocity.
