An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera

Ede4ka [16]

The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
$Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w$
where
$m_w = 30 g$ is the mass of the water
$C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C)$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C$ is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
$Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J$

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
$Q = m_i L_f$
where $m_i$ is the mass of the ice while $L_f =334 J/g$ is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
$m_i = \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g$

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass

vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s$

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/ $Sec^{2}$

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u= 13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

$0^{2} = 13^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46$

a = -1.47 m/ $Sec^{2}$ (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/ $Sec^{2}$ (since same friction force is applied)

$v^{2} = 29^{2} - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S$

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?

salantis [7]

Answer:

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

$s = 240 J/kg C$

now we will have

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

$\Delta T = 961.8 - 20$

$\Delta T = 941.8 degree C$

now from above equation

$Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6$

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

The resistivity of gold is at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries a current of 940 m

IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0360531138247 V/m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Resistivity of gold = $2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega .m$ (General value)

I = Current = 940 mA

d = Diameter = 0.9 mm

A = Area = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

E = Electric field

Resistivity is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{EA}{I}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{\rho I}{A}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 940\times 10^{-3}}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow E=0.0360531138247\ V/m$

The electric field in the wire is 0.0360531138247 V/m
