Assuming all the substances are already at the temperature that is their melting point, we only need to worry about the heat required to change state, not the heat required to change temperature.

No calculations necessary for this question - just look at the latent heat of fusion. The higher this value, the more heat required per unit mass of the substance to melt it. Of the four answer options, aluminum has the highest value and therefore will take the most heat to melt the same mass.

How do I solve this step by step? I’m really confused

LekaFEV [45]

Step-#1:

Ignore the wire on the right.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the left, 0.04m away, carrying 5.0A

of current upward.

Write it down.

Step #2:

Now, ignore the wire on the left.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the right, 0.04m away, carrying 8.0A

of current downward.

Write it down.

Step #3:

Take the two sets of magnitude and direction that you wrote down

and ADD them.

The total magnetic field at P is the SUM of (the field due to the left wire)

PLUS (the field due to the right wire).

So just calculate them separately, then addum up.

An arch carries the thrust of weight to its _____(1)______. With a _____(2)______, the horizontal part of the structure supports

finlep [7]

Option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its sides with a post-and-lintel.

An arch is indeed a vertical curving construction that covers an elevated space that may or may not sustain the load above it or the pressure gradient against it

In the case of a horizontally arched, such as an embankment dam. While arches and vaults are often confused, A vault is defined as an ongoing arch forming a roof.

Option D satisfies the fill-in blanks option.

Hence option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its sides with a post-and-lintel.

Answer:
Wien's law:

Wien's constant: b = 2.8977685(51)Ă—10â’3 mâ€˘K
T = (5/9)[96 â€“ 32) + 273 = 35.55 + 273 = 308.55 deg. K
