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.

A leaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 10 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.9 kg/m. Initial

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The work done shall be 14715 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by a force 'F' in a displacement 'dy' is given by

$W=m(y)g\times dy$

At any position 'y' the weight shall be sum of weft of water and weight of string

$\therefore m(y)=m_{water}(y)+m_{string}(y)\\\\m(y)=30(1-\frac{y}{10})+0.9y$

Thus applying values we get

$W=\int m(y)g\times dy\\\\W=\int_{0}^{10}(30(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)\times g)dy\\\\Solving\\W=294.3\int_{0}^{10}(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)dy\\\\W=14715J$

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B caries a charge of-2q. Sphere C

miskamm [114]

<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential $V$ , which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential $V$ at any point in an electric field with a test charge $q_{0}$ at that point is:

$V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}$

The potential $V$ due to a single point charge q is:

$V=k\frac{q}{r}$

Where $k$ is an electric constant, $q$ is value of point charge and $r$ is the distance from point charge to where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius $r$ . Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r$

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

$V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}$

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

$q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}$

Therefore:

$(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}$

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

$q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q$

Second: C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here $q_{A}=+2q$ and C carries no net charge or $q_{C}=0$ . Also, $r_{A}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q$

Finally, from the third step:

Here $q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q$ . Also, $r_{B}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

When sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q$

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

$q_{C}=+1.5q$

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$+4q$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

$q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0$

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

$q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q$

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

$+4q$
