Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g

A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back t
baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

My speed after the interaction will depend upon the impulse the ball will make on me . Now impulse can be expressed as follows

Impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum in the ball will be maximum when the ball bounces back with the same velocity which can be shown as follows

change in momentum = mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

So when ball is bounced back with same velocity , it suffers greatest impulse from my hand . In return ,  it reacts with the same impulse on my hand pushing me with greatest impulse according to third law of motion. this maximizes my speed after the interaction.

Express in words AND mathematically the relationship between period and frequency
inessss [21]
The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave.
