Explanation:Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star located 4.244 light-years (1.301 pc) away from the Sun in the southern constellation of Centaurus. Its Latin name means the "nearest [star] of Centaurus". This object was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes and is the nearest-known star to the Sun. With a quiescent apparent magnitude of 11.13, it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Proxima Centauri is a member of the Alpha Centauri system, being identified as component Alpha Centauri C, and is 2.18° to the southwest of the Alpha Centauri AB pair. It is currently 12,950 AU (0.2 ly) from AB, which it orbits with a period of about 550,000 years.

Suppose 310. grams of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is in an aluminum cup of 90.0 grams. Both of these are at 30.0C. A mass m of ice a

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ethanol $m_e=310\ gm$

mass of aluminium cup $m_{al}=90\ gm$

both are at an initial temperature of $T_i=30^{\circ}C$

specific heat of ethanol $c_e=2.46\ J/g-K$

specific heat of aluminium $c_{al}=0.9\ J/g-K$

specific heat of ice $c_i=2.108\ J/g-K$

specific heat of water $c_w=4.184\ J/g-K$

Latent heat of fusion $L=334\ J/gm$

suppose m is the mass of ice added

Heat loss by Al cup and ethanol after $18^{\circ}C$ is reached

$Q_1=(310\times 2.46+90\times 0.9)\cdot (30-18)$

Heat gained by ice such that ice is melted and reached a temperature of $18^{\circ}C$

$Q_2=m\times 2.108\times (8.5)+m\times 334$

Comparing 1 and 2 we get

$m=23.65\ gm$

Thus 23.65 gm of ice is added

If you push twice as hard against a stationary brick wall, the amount of work you do

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The work done on an object is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the force applied on the object

d is the displacement of the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem, you are pushing again a stationary wall: this means that the walls does not move. As a result, the displacement is zero: d=0. Therefore, the work done is also zero: W=0.
