A 250 g block of ice is removed from the refrigerator at -8.0°C. How much thermal energy does the ice absorb as it warms to room

temperature (22°C)? The heat of fusion of water is 3.34 x 105 J/kg.

Answer:

Q = 114895 J

Explanation:

To find the thermal energy gained by the ice you use the following formula:

Q=mc(T_2-T_1)+H_f\ m

m: mass of the ice = 0.250kg

T2: final temperature = 22°C

T1: initial temperature = -8.0°C

Hf: heat of fusion of water = 3.34*10^5 J/kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

By replacing the values of the parameters you have:

Q=(0.250kg)(4186J/kg\°C)(22+8)\°C+(3.34*10^5 J/kg)(0.250kg)\\\\Q=114895\ J

where you have considered that ice melts completely

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 61.8 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) Frope= 71.7 N

b) Frope=6.7 N

Explanation:

In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".

a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:

∑F=0

Frope=w*sen6.8°

Frope=71.71N

Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:

w=m*g

w=61.8Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

w=605.64N

b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2.  Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

F=m*a

F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2

Frope=6.73N

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound
adell [148]

Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.
