Answer: 4276.2 calories

Explanation:

Given

mass of steam is 6 gm at $100^{\circ}C$

Conversion of steam to ice involves

steam to water at $100^{\circ}C$

water at $100^{\circ}C$ to water at $0^{\circ}C$

water to the ice at $0^{\circ}C$

Calories released during the conversion of steam to water at $100^{\circ}C$

$E_1=mL_v\quad [L_v=\text{latent heat of vaporisation}]\\E_1=6\times 533=3198\ cal.$

Calories released during the conversion of water at $100^{\circ}C$ to water at $0^{\circ}C$

$E_2=mc(\Delta T)\quad [c=\text{specific heat of water,}1\ cal./gm.^{\circ}C]\\E_2=6\times 1\times 100=600\ cal.$

Calories released during the conversion of water to the ice at $0^{\circ}C$

$E_3=mL_f\quad [L_f=\text{latent heat of fusion}]\\E_3=6\times 79.7=478.2\ cal.$

The total energy released is

$E=E_1+E_2+E_3\\E=3198+600+478.2=4276.2\ cal.$

Svetllana [295]

Answer: a) Observation

b) observation

c) observation

d) observation

e) inference

f) inference

g) inference

h) inference

Explanation:

observation: The photosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium,The photosphere emits mostly visible light,The corona is hotter than the photosphere, The Sun emits neurtrinos

inferences: The Sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium,The core temperature is 10 million k, The convection zone is cooler than the radiation zone,The composition of the photosphere is the same as that the gas cloud that have birth to our solar system.

A ray of yellow light (f = 5.09 × 1014hz) travels at a speed of 2.04 × 108meters per second in

denis23 [38]

Velocity = fλ

where f is frequency in Hz, and λ is wavelength in meters.

2.04 * 10⁸ m/s = 5.09 * 10¹⁴ Hz * λ

(2.04 * 10⁸ m/s) / (5.09 * 10¹⁴ Hz ) = λ

4.007*10⁻⁷ m = λ

The wavelength of the yellow light = 4.007*10⁻⁷ m

Consider an object with s=12cm that produces an image with s′=15cm. Note that whenever you are working with a physical object, t

Leni [432]

A. 6.67 cm

The focal length of the lens can be found by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}$

where we have

f = focal length

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

Solving the equation for f, we find

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12 cm}+\frac{1}{15 cm}=0.15 cm^{-1}\\f=\frac{1}{0.15 cm^{-1}}=6.67 cm$

B. Converging

According to sign convention for lenses, we have:

- Converging (convex) lenses have focal length with positive sign

- Diverging (concave) lenses have focal length with negative sign

In this case, the focal length of the lens is positive, so the lens is a converging lens.

C. -1.25

The magnification of the lens is given by

$M=-\frac{s'}{s}$

where

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Substituting into the equation, we find

$M=-\frac{15 cm}{12 cm}=-1.25$

D. Real and inverted

The magnification equation can be also rewritten as

$M=\frac{y'}{y}$

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

Re-arranging it, we have

$y'=My$

Since in this case M is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign compared to y: this means that the image is inverted.

Also, the sign of s' tells us if the image is real of virtual. In fact:

- s' is positive: image is real

- s' is negative: image is virtual

In this case, s' is positive, so the image is real.

E. Virtual

In this case, the magnification is 5/9, so we have

$M=\frac{5}{9}=-\frac{s'}{s}$

which can be rewritten as

$s'=-M s = -\frac{5}{9}s$

which means that s' has opposite sign than s: therefore, the image is virtual.

F. 12.0 cm

From the magnification equation, we can write

$s'=-Ms$

and then we can substitute it into the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{-Ms}$

and we can solve for s:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{M-1}{Ms}\\f=\frac{Ms}{M-1}\\s=\frac{f(M-1)}{M}=\frac{(-15 cm)(\frac{5}{9}-1}{\frac{5}{9}}=12.0 cm$

G. -6.67 cm

Now the image distance can be directly found by using again the magnification equation:

$s'=-Ms=-\frac{5}{9}(12.0 cm)=-6.67 cm$

And the sign of s' (negative) also tells us that the image is virtual.

H. -24.0 cm

In this case, the image is twice as tall as the object, so the magnification is

M = 2

and the distance of the image from the lens is

s' = -24 cm

The problem is asking us for the image distance: however, this is already given by the problem,

s' = -24 cm

so, this is the answer. And the fact that its sign is negative tells us that the image is virtual.
