An iceberg at its melting point

Physics
1 answer:
iren2701 [21]3 years ago
5 0

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

lisov135 [29]
<span>Average velocity can be calculated by determining the total displacement divided by the total time of travel. The average velocity of an object does not tell us anything about what happens to it between the starting point and ending point. Average velocity is different from average speed because it considers the direction of travel and the overall change in position.</span>

Answer:

a) frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b) Period = 5.8 sec

c) speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

radius = 6.5m

time period = 5.8 sec every circle

a)  the frequency

frequency is the number of rotation in unit time

frequency = 1 / time period = 1/5.8

frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b)  the period

period is time taken in one rotation

period = total time / rotation = 5.8 / 1

Period = 5.8 sec

c)  the speed

speed = distance/time = circumference/time period = 2πr / t = (2π×6.5) / 5.8

speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration

To find the acceleration we take the linear velocity squared divided by the radius of the circle.

so

acceleration = v² / r = (7.04)² / 6.5 = 49.5616 / 6.5

acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Which way does current always flow?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Electrons move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery.
