what issues might arise in determining the latent heat of something that sublimes in comparison to something that melts

The heat of sublimation actually has two components, the heat of solidification (actually melting, since this is going in the reverse direction) and the heat of vaporization since you are transforming the solid to a gas. The energy required is the same, even though you do not actually go through a macroscopic melting phase. So the sublimation energy will be much greater than the heat needed for just melting, given the same mass.

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

Sublimation is defined as the direct transition of a substance from solid state to gaseous state. The latent heat of sublimation is the sum of heat required for conversion from solid to liquid and heat required for conversion from liquid to gas. As in sublimation solid substance directly goes to gaseous state therefore, it is very difficult to find the components of latent heat of sublimation. This is the issue which arises in determining latent heat of sublimation.

On the other hand, when substance is melted it physically goes from solid to liquid. One can easily measure the heat required for this conversion.

A 215-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope a

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

303.9481875 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2 seconds

F = Force

r = Radius = 1.5 m

I = Moment of Inertia

$\alpha$ = Angular Acceleration

Torque

$\tau=F\times r$

$\tau=I\times \alpha$

$\\\Rightarrow F\times r=I\times \alpha\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{I\times \alpha}{r}$

Angular velocity

$\omega=rev/s\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.6\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \omega=3.76991\ rad/s$

Angular acceleration

$\alpha=\frac{\omega}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{3.76991}{2}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=1.88495\ rad/s^2$

$I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{2}215\times 1.5^2\\\Rightarrow I=241.875\ kgm^2$

$F=\frac{I\times \alpha}{r}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{241.875\times 1.88495}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow F=303.9481875\ N$

The magnitude of the force to stop the merry-go-round is 303.9481875 N

What is the horizontal component of a ball thrown at a 27 degree angle at 16 m/s?

Airida [17]

Answer:

14.25 m/s

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to find the horizontal component of a ball thrown at a 27 degree angle at 16 m/s.

It can be given by :

$v_x=v\cos\theta\\\\=16\times \cos(27)\\\\=14.25\ m/s$

So, the horizontal component of the ball is 14.25 m/s.

Small paragraph explaining how how potential and kinetic energy are related

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.
