If you have a lump of solid at its melting point ... like ice at 32°F ...
you have to put a certain amount of heat into it just to change it
to water at 32°F. That amount of heat, that's used just to change
a solid lump into liquid without changing its temperature, is called
the heat of fusion for that substance.
The number is different for every substance.
For water, it takes 336 joules of heat to melt 1 gram of ice
into 1 gram of water, all at 32°F (0°C).
That's an enormous latent heat of fusion ... more than almost any
other known substance. That's why ice is such a good choice
when you need something to put in your drink to cool it down.
Ice absorbs a huge amount of heat before it melts and the drink
gets watered down.
Answer:
Relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is 240 km/hr
Explanation:
Relative velocity is different from normal velocity;
When 2 objects are moving in opposite directions towards each other, they will appear to be faster than they actually are;
This is known as the relative velocity;
The information tells us we have the aircraft moving 320 km/hr northwards relative to the wind;
The wind is in the opposite direction at 80 km/hr;
R = relative velocity of the aircraft
v = actual velocity of the aircraft
w = velocity of the wind
R = v + w
Note: if the wind was moving in the same direction, the formula would be R = v - w
320 = v + 80
v = 320 - 80
v = 240
The velocity relative to the ground is simply the actual velocity as the ground doesn't move;
So, relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is simply 240 km/hr
Answer:
i don't understand the hw
13.1 km/s, that is the mean orbital velocity of Jupiter around the sun
Answer:
time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes
Explanation:
Given:
Time is inversely proportional to the speed
mathematically,
t ∝ (1/r)
let the proportionality constant be 'k'
thus,
t = k/r
therefore, for case 1
time = 3 hr
speed = 14 km/hr
3 = k/14
also,
for case 2
let the time be = t
r = 23 km/h
thus,
we have
t = k/23
on dividing equation 2 by 1
we get
or
or
t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)
