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 car travels at an average speed of 60 km / h for 15 minutes. How far does the car travel in 15 minutes?
salantis [7]

Answer:

15km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Average speed = 60km/hr

Time taken  = 15min

Unknown:

Distance  = ?

Solution:

The distance traveled can de derived using the expression below;

      Distance  = Average speed x time taken

Now let us convert the time to hr;

              60min = 1hr

              15min = \frac{15}{60}   = 0.25hr

Distance  = 60km/hr x 0.25hr  = 15km

A bowling ball weighing 71.2 N is attached to the ceiling by a 3.30 m rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released; it then
wolverine [178]

Answer:

a. The acceleration of the bowling ball is 9.5 m/s² toward the center

b.  The tension in the rope is 140.24 N

Explanation:

given information:

ball weight,  W = 71.2 N

the length of rope, R = 3.30 m

ball speed, v = 5.60 m/s

a. The acceleration of the bowling ball, α

α = \frac{v^{2} }{R}

where

α = the acceleration

v = the speed

R = radius

thus

α = \frac{v^{2} }{R}

  = \frac{5.60^{2} }{3.3}

  = 9.5 m/s² toward the center

b. The tension in the rope?

according to the Newton's second law

ΣF = m a

where

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

so,

ΣF = m a

T - W = m a

T = m a + W

  = (W a/g) + W

  = (71.2 x 9.5/9.8) + 71.2

  = 140.24 N
