The latent heat of fusion refers to the solid to liquid or liquid to solid states.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

It is known that the inter conversion process from the states of solid to liquid is referred as fusion. So, for these conversions, the external energy in the heat form should be supplied to solid.

This external energy should be greater than the latent heat of solid in order to successfully break the bonds to form liquid. So the change in the enthalpy of the reaction while conversion from solids to liquids are termed as latent heats of fusion.

Even the inter-conversion from liquid to solid state will undergo change in enthalpy where the heat will be released and that is termed as latent heats of solidification. It is found that latent heat of solidification is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction with the latent heats of fusion.

Which of the following quantities provide enough information to calculate the tension in a string of mass per unit length μ that

Bad White [126]

Answer:

A. the wave speed v and Wavelength

Explanation:

Given that

Mass density per unit length=μ

Frequency = f

The velocity V given as

$\mu=\dfrac{T}{V^2}\ kg/m$

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

T=Tension

V=Velocity

V= f λ

λ=Wavelength

Therefore to find the tension ,only wavelength and speed is required.

The answer is A.

Prove that.. please help

GaryK [48]

$\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \color{red}{Universal \: law \: of \: gravitation}}}}$

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The forces along the line joining the centre of the two objects.

❍ Let us consider two masses m1 and m2 line at a separation distance d. Let the force of attraction between the two objects be F.

According to universal law of gravitation,

$\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F \propto m_1 m_2}}}$

Also,

$\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{ F \propto \dfrac{1}{ {d}^{2} } }}}$

Combining both, We will get

$\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F \propto \dfrac{ m_1 m_2}{ {d}^{2}}}}}$

Or, We can write it as,

$\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F \propto \: G \dfrac{ m_1 m_2}{ {d}^{2} }}}}$

Where, G is the constant of proportionality and it is called 'Universal Gravitational constant'.

☯️ Hence, derived !!

How do scientists decide how they gather information

kogti [31]

The scientific method. When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
