The mass of the iceberg is 71.9 kg

Explanation:

The amount of thermal energy needed to completely melt a substance at its melting point is given by

$Q=\lambda m$

where

$\lambda$ is the latent heat of fusion

m is the mass of the substance

In this problem, we have a block of ice at its melting point (zero degrees). The amount of heat given to the block is

$Q=2.40\cdot 10^7 J$

And the latent heat of fusion of ice is

$\lambda = 334 J/g$

So, we can re-arrange the equation to find m, the amount of ice that will melt:

$m=\frac{Q}{\lambda}=\frac{2.40\cdot 10^7}{334}=71856 g = 71.9 kg$

A typical pencil has an average length of 15.0 cm and an average mass of 10.0 g. Assume the tip of the pencil does not slip as i

natita [175]

Answer:

α = 17.0 rad/s²

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the torque expression

τ = I α

Torque is the product of force by the distance that is half the length of the pencil

τ = F x

Let's use trigonometry

sin 10 = x / (l / 2)

x = l / 2 sin 10

τ = mg l /2 sin 10

The moment of inertia of pencil that we approximate as a rod with the axis of rotation at one end

I = 1/3 m L²

We replace

mg l / 2 sin 10 = 1/3 m l² α

α = 3/2 g/l sin 10

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

l = 15.0 cm = 0.150 m

m = 10.0 g = 0.0100 kg

Let's calculate

α = 3/2 9.8 / 0.150 sin 10

α = 17.0 rad/s²

should an electrician wear gloves made of a metal or a nonmetal element when working around electrical wires explain your answer

Agata [3.3K]

Non metal because if the wire was unknowingly live, it could shock him and the current would travel through metal gloves.

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

$F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

$F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}$

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy. The energy used to do work

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

480J

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Delta U = Q - W

Q:Heat (J)

Delta U: Changes in internal Energy (J)

W:Work (J)

We can plug in the give numbers, Q and W.

Delta U = 658J - 178J = 480J
