Answer:
17.63W
Explanation:
The total energy supplied to the ice is used to melt the ice. Since the ice starts to melt at and also melts completely at the same temperature, the latent heat of fusion will be the focus in solving this problem.
Latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of energy that changes a solid substance to liquid state without any change in temperature. It is given by the following relationship;
where m is the mass of the substance and l is the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance.
The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is approximately.
The total heat supplied to the ice was used to melt the ice and is calculated using equation (1), given that m = 4.56kg.
The total energy supplied to the ice is equivalent to the average power P entering the ice multiplied by the time t for which the power is supplied. Therefore;
where t = 1 day and 1 day = 24 hours.
24 hours = 60 x 60 x 24s =86400s.
Hence, t = 86400s.
Substituting into equation (2), we get the following;
The reason wearing multiple thin layers will keep you warmer than a single thicker layer is because warm air is trapped between the layers acting as an insulator. If you were then to remove a layer you would reduce the amount of heat trapped which would cool you down.
The orbiting spacecraft are put in the atmosphere to gain information about the weather conditions, for satellite communications, for measuring changes in the atmosphere. These crafts are put in the outer atmosphere, where the atmosphere is very thin and the craft can stay its specified orbit.
The answer is transformed
because you changed the kind of energy
