You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve it.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = (1.5)^2 + (2)^2
c^2 = 6.25
c = square root of 6.25
c = 2.5
I hope this helps!

What is the change in thermal energy E if the coefficent of kinetic friction between the box and floor is .4 , the distance the

Jet001 [13]

This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.

The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".

The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.

$Change\ In\ Thermal\ Energy = E = Friction\ Energy\\\\E = \mu fd$

where,

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4

f = force applied = 38 N

d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m

Therefore,

$E = (0.4)(38\ N)(17\ m)$

Why is honesty especially important in a scientist when the results of an experiment go against predictions❓❔

kramer

Because other scientists and science in general rely on their collegues' research which in turn allows development of our knowledge on the given subject. The more dont-to-earth reason may be safety. If someone performs an experiment without knowledge of its true results it might result in some danger to the safety of those perforning it without knowledge of all the risks.

Some element can be either solid or liquid. At the melting point, the liquid has 8 × 10-22 J more enthalpy per atom than the sol

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

481.76 J/mol

133.33 K

Explanation:

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

Change in enthalpy is given by

$\Delta H=8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=481.76\ J/mol$

Entropy is given by

$\Delta S=6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta S=3.6132\ J/mol K$

Latent heat of fusion is given by

$L_f=\Delta H\\\Rightarrow L_f=481.76\ J/mol$

The latent heat of fusion is 481.76 J/mol

Melting point is given by

$T_m=\dfrac{L_f}{\Delta S}\\\Rightarrow T_m=\dfrac{8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\Rightarrow T_f=133.33\ K$

Melting occurs at 133.33 K
