Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.

How much heat is required to convert 5.53 g of ice at -12.0 ∘C to water at 24.0 ∘C? (The heat capacity of ice is 2.09 J/(g⋅∘C),
fredd [130]

Answer:

2.55 × 10³ J =2.55 kJ

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of ice =  37.8 J / mol °C

Specific heat capacity of water = 76.0 J/ mol °C

Ice at -12 °C is converted to ice at 0 °C by absorbing heat Q₁

Ice at 0°C melts to water at 0 °C. Let Heat  absorbed during this phase change be Q₂ .

Let heat  absorbed to raise the temperature of water from 0 C to 24°C be Q₃ .

Total heat = Q = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

Q₁ = (37.8 j/mol C )(5.53 g /18.01532 g/ mol )( 0-(-12)) = 139.23749 j

Q₂ =(5.53 g/18.01532 g H₂O / mol ) (6.02 x10³ j) = 1847.905 j

Q₃ = (76 j/mol C) ( (5.53 g/18.01532 g H₂O / mol )(24-0) = 559.8968 j

Total Heat required = Q = 139.23749 j + 1847.905 j + 559.8968 j

= 2547.039 j = 2.55 × 10³ J =2.55 kJ

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac
vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction = 90°

{n_2} is the refractive index of the refraction medium

{n_1} is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

{sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}

Where,  

{\theta_{critical}} is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

The friction that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied is ________ friction.
uranmaximum [27]
Static friction is what you are looking for.
Kinetic friction is the force exerted on an already moving object, slowing it down.

Help me, this is my last question pls.
Cloud [144]

If resultant force on the body is 0 the acceleration will also be 0.​

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The term "acceleration" refers to the change in velocity with time. We must also recall that force is the product of mass and acceleration. If that is so, we can write; F = ma.

Now, we are told that the force on the body is zero so making the acceleration the subject of the formula; a = 0/mand a = 0.

Hence,  if resultant force on the body is 0 the acceleration will also be 0.​
