Thermodynamics is the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy), and, by extension, of the relationships between all forms of energy.

A copper rod has a length of 1.3 m and a cross-sectional area of 3.6 10-4 m2. One end of the rod is in contact with boiling wate

sdas [7]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to heat flow,

The heat flux can be defined as

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = H = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

Where,

k = Thermal conductivity

A = Area of cross-sectional area

d = Length of the rod

$\Delta T=$ Temperature difference between the ends of the rod

$k =388 W/m.\°C$ Thermal conductivity of copper rod

$A = 3.6 *10^{-4} m$ Area of cross section of rod

$\Delta T=100-0=100\°C$ Temperature difference

$d=1.3m$ length of rod

Replacing then,

$H = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

$H = \frac{(388)(3.6 *10^{-4})(100)}{1.3}$

$H=10.7446J$

From the definition of heat flow we know that this is also equivalent

$H = \dot{m}*L$

Where,

$\dot{m} =$ Mass per second

$L = 334J/g$ Latent heat of fusion of ice

Re-arrange to find $\dot{m},$

$H = \dot{m}*L$

$\dot{m}=\frac{L}{H}$

$\dot{m}=\frac{334}{10.7446}$

$\dot{m} = 31.08g/s$

$\dot{m}= 0.032g/s$

Therefore the mass of ice per second that melts is 0.032g

The density of atmosphere (measured in kilograms/meter3) on a certain planet is found to decrease as altitude increases (as meas

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

B. inverse plot, 0.51 kilograms/meter3

Explanation:

First of all, we note that the relationship between the altitude and the atmospheric density is an inverse relationship. In fact, an inverse relationship is a relationship between the x-variable and the y-variable of the form

$y \propto \frac{1}{x}$

Therefore, as the x increases, the y decreases, and as the x decreases, they increases. This is exactly what occurs with the altitude and the atmospheric density in this plot: as the altitude increases, the density decreases, and vice-versa.

Moreover, we can infer the value of the atmospheric density at an altitude of 1,291 km. This point is located between point A (2550 km) and point B(1000 km), so the density must have a value between 0.30 kg/m^3 and 0.54 kg/m^3, so the correct choice is

B. inverse plot, 0.51 kilograms/meter3
