Answer:

The energy a 15,000 g block of ice will absorb in order to melt is 4995 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the latent heat of fusion of ice, that is the heat absorbed by the solid ice to convert it to liquid water without changing its temperature.

The formula for the energy required to melt the ice is presented as follows;

Energy required = Mass, m × Latent heat of fusion, L_f, of ice

Hence, the mass, m, of the ice = 15,000 g

Latent heat of fusion, L_f, of ice = 333 J/g

Therefore;

Energy required = 15,000 g × 333 J/g = 4995000 J

Hence;

The energy a 15,000 g block of ice will absorb in order to melt = 4995000 J

1000 J = 1 kJ

1 J = 1/1000 kJ

Therefore, 4995000 J = (4995000 J)/(1000 J/kJ) = 4995 kJ.

Which gives;

The energy a 15,000 g block of ice will absorb in order to melt = 4995 kJ.

armand deposited $389.42 in a savings account that earns 3.2% simple interest. what is armand’s account balance after 7 years?
butalik [34]

Okay so since we have $389.42 to start with, we will multiply that by 3.2% which gives us roughly $12.46. Knowing that he will get an additional $12.46 per year, we multiply 12.46 by 7, giving us $87.22. Now, we just add 87.22 to 389.42, which is 476.64. Therefore, Armand has $476.64 as his account after 7 years.

A broker had a taxable income of $77,050 last year. if she paid 10% of her income between $0 and $8350, 15% of her income betwee
stellarik [79]
10 percent is the same as saying  0.10 so we simply do this sum of all parts approach. 
(.10 \times8350)+(.15 \times(33950-8350)) + (.25\times(77050-33950))

You should get an answer a bit over 15000 if you plug it into your calculator. Remember, you are taxing a certain amount of dollars at each percentage so don't get hung up on the structure of the taxes. This is why we are subtracting the smaller number from the bigger

Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:.
kobusy [5.1K]
       First we will find the derivative of each function and equate it to zero.
       f` ( x ) = 6 x + 12
       6 x + 12 = 0
       6 x = - 12
       x = - 2
       f ( - 2 ) 0 12 - 24 + 16 = 4
       f ( x ) min = 4
       g` ( x ) = 4 cos (  2 x - π )
       4 cos ( 2 x - π ) = 0
       cos ( 2 x - π ) = 0
       2 x - π = 3π / 2
       2 x = 5π /2
       x = 5π/4
       g ( 5π/4 ) = 2 sin ( 5π/2 - π ) + 4 = 2 ( sin 3π/2 ) + 4 = -2 + 4 = 2
       g ( x ) min = 2 ( this is the smallest minimum value )
