Answer:

It's because it tips over the threshold from nucleate boiling, which we can see, to convection boiling, which we can't. ... Even if the steam stayed in the pot, it would still stop boiling when you removed the heat. The steam and water in a liquid/vapour mixture are at the same temperature (100ºC).

A 275-g sample of nickel at 100.0°C is placed in 100.0 mL of water at 22.0°C. What is the final temperature of the water? Assume

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

39.6138 °C

Explanation:

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by nickel

Thus,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{nickel}\times C_{nickel}\times (T_f-T_i)$

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{nickel}\times C_{nickel}\times (T_i-T_f)$

For water:

Volume = 100.0 mL

Density of water= 1 g/mL

So, mass of the water:

$Mass\ of\ water=Density \times {Volume\ of\ water}$

$Mass\ of\ water=1 g/mL \times {100.0\ mL}$

Mass of water = 100 g

Initial temperature = 22.0 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

For nickel:

Mass = 275 g

Initial temperature = 100 °C

Specific heat of nickel = 0.444 J/gK = 0.444 J/g°C

So,

$100\times 4.186\times (T_f-22.0)=275\times 0.444\times (100-T_f)$

$418.6\times (T_f-22.0)=122.1\times (100-T_f)$

$418.6\times T_f+122.1\times T_f=21419.2$

$T_f=39.6138\ ^{0}C$

Thus,

The final temperature of the combined metals is 39.6138 °C

Which best describes what is required for any sound wave to travel?

olganol [36]

Answer:

Any medium solid, liquid or gas is required for sound waves to travel.

Explanation:

A sound wave requires a medium to travel. Sound waves are mechanical waves that is why these waves require a medium to travel. Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

In solids, the particles of the medium are closely packed together as compared to liquids and gases. In liquids, particles are less tightly packed and almost negligible in gases.

Therefore sound waves produce vibration in the dense or solid medium. Denser the medium faster the sound waves travel. However sound waves can not travel through empty space.

What is the period of a wave if the frequency is? 5 Hz

viktelen [127]

Answer: If the woodpecker drums upon a tree 5 times in one second, then the frequency is 5 Hz; each drum must endure for one-fifth a second, so the period is 0.2 s.

Artist 52 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

At time 2t the paint ball is at 8 cm to the right and 16 cm to the bottom

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
