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.

The major water body given access to the new states of Kentucky and tennessee was the Mississippi river.

Explanation:

The Mississippi river serves to be the second ranked longest river located in the North America. the access was given to United States by the Kentucky state and Tennessee state.

The access granted was requested in order to serve the purpose of trade across. The Mississippi river have been often remarked as the super highway to the sea. Irrigation of crops with the transportation aid along with the food availability, all calls for the grant access to the major water body.

What is the minimum speed needed to fire a champagne cork a distance of 11m?

Crank

To start with solving this problem, let us assume a launch angle of 45 degrees since that gives out the maximum range for given initial speed. Also assuming that it was launched at ground level since no initial height was given. Using g = 9.8 m/s^2, the initial velocity is calculated using the formula:

(v sinθ)^2 = (v0 sinθ)^2 – 2 g d

where v is final velocity = 0 at the peak, v0 is the initial velocity, d is distance = 11 m

Rearranging to find for v0: 
v0 = sqrt (d * g/ sin(2 θ))

v0 = 10.383 m/s

A child of mass 25 kg is skating fast, +10 m/s, and tries to get revenge by colliding with the 60 kg adult who is sitting still.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: -4.4 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle, which establishes that the initial momentum $p_{o}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ :
