Answer:

A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. The potential energy decreases as the kinetic energy increases. The potential energy decreases as the kinetic energy decreases.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

463.4 m/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity on the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet/asteroid

R is the radius of the planet/asteroid

For the asteroid in this problem, we know

\rho=4.49\cdot 10^6 g/m^3 is the density

V=3.32\cdot 10^{12} m^3 is the volume

So we can find its mass:

M=\frac{\rho}{V}=(4.49\cdot 10^6 g/m^3)(3.32\cdot 10^{12}m^3)=1.49\cdot 10^{19} kg

Also, the asteroid is approximately spherical, so its volume is given by

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3

where R is the radius. Solving the formula for R, we find its radius:

R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3(3.32\cdot 10^{12}m^3)}{4\pi}}=9256 m

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the escape velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.49\cdot 10^{19}kg)}{9256 m}}=463.4 m/s

What is latent heat? Group of answer choices Energy released when water evaporates. Energy hidden in water vapor in the air. Ene
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates

Explanation:

The heat that is required to make a phase change is known as latent heat.

A phase change occurs when matter changes state. For example from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas, among others.

When changing from liquid to gas (for example when water evaporates), the heat necessary for this to happen is called latent heat of vaporization. The word latent means hidden, because a change in temperature is not perceived during the phase change, even when heat is being added, thus it is said that the heat is hidden or latent.

So the answer is:

  • Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates.

*Another type of latent heat is the latent heat of fusion, which is when a solid becomes liquid.
