Observation = you are seeing it as in: I can physically see rain therefore it IS raining
Inference = making a point based on suggestions as in: there are puddles on the ground. It must be raining therefore it IS raining

Observing is commenting on what you see e.g: It is raining.
Inferring is drawing conclusions from observations for example you see the road is wet so you might infer that it rained last night.

A ball is thrown horizontally. What is the ball's acceleration at its highest point
natka813 [3]
At the highest point of motion the ball comes to rest momentarily,but it is being pulled down due to the effect of gravity,so its net acceleration is downwards. So,just after that point,it starts falling downwards.

An elevator's electric hoist is rated at 8.0 kW and has an efficiency of 90.0%. The hoist lifts the elevator car, mass 1225 kg,
Nataly_w [17]

Part a)

Power rated on the elevator is given as

P = 8 kW

P = 8 \times 10^3 W

now the mass that is lifted above is given as

m = 1225 kg

height of the elevator lifted is

h = 9 m

now the potential energy is given as

U = mgh

U = 1225 (9.8)(9) = 108045 J

now power is defined as rate of energy

P = \frac{W}{t}

8 \times 10^3 = \frac{108045}{t}

t = 13.5 s

so it will take 13.5 s to lift up

Part b)

Electrical energy used

efficiency = 90

0.90 = \frac{Output}{Input}

0.90 = \frac{108045}{Input}

Input = 120050 J

so electrical energy used in this process will be 120050 J

Define the terms ‘latent heat of vaporization’ and ‘phase change’ in your own words. What is the commonly accepted value of the
olganol [36]

Answer:

Latent Heat of Vaporization of Nitrogen is 2.7928 KJmol^{-1}

Explanation:

• We have learned that adding thermal energy by heat increases the temperature of a substance.

• But surprisingly, there are situations where adding energy does not change the temperature of a substance at all. Instead, the additional thermal energy acts to loosen bonds between molecules or atoms and causes a phase change.

• Because this energy enters or leaves a system during a phase change without causing a temperature change in the system, it is known as latent heat (latent means hidden).

• Latent heat of vaporization is a physical property of a substance.

• It is defined as the heat required to change one mole of liquid at its boiling point under standard atmospheric pressure. It is expressed as kg/mol or kJ/kg.

• When a material in liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor; the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of vaporization.

• Latent Heat of Vaporization of Nitrogen is 2.7928 KJmol^{-1}
