Answer:
The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state
Explanation:
Latent Heat: Latent heat is the heat required to change the state of a substance without change in temperature. Latent heat is also known as hidden heat because the heat is not visible. The unit is Joules (J).
Latent heat is divided into two:
⇒ Latent Heat of fusion
⇒ Latent Heat of vaporization.
Latent Heat of fusion: This is the heat energy required to convert a substance from its solid form to its liquid form without change in temperature. E.g (Ice) When ice is heated, its temperature rise steadily until a certain temperature is reached when the solid begins to melts.
Latent Heat of vaporization: This is the heat required to change a liquid substance to vapor without a change in temperature. The latent heat depend on the mass of the liquid and the nature of the liquid. E.g When water is heated from a known temperature its boiling point (100°C) When more heat is supplied to its boiling temperature, it continue to boil without a change in temperature.
From The above, Latent heat brings about a change of state of a substance at a steady temperature.
The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state
#14 isn't really a Physics problem. It's more of just reading a graph.
A). When speed changes, acceleration is
(change in speed) / (time for the change) .
To be correct about it, acceleration can be positive ... when speed
is increasing ... or it can be negative ... when speed is decreasing.
So, on this graph, there are two periods of acceleration:
From zero to 2 seconds, acceleration = (8 m/s) / (4 sec) = 2 m/s² .
From 10 to 12 seconds, acceleration = (-4 m/s) / (2 sec) = -2 m/s² .
B). From 12 to16 seconds, you can read the speed right from
the graph. It's 4 m/s .
C). From 2 to 10 seconds, the objects speed is a steady 8 m/s.
Covering 8 m/s every second for 8 seconds, it covers 64 meters.
Do you remember that distance is the area under the speed/time
graph? You can see that plainly on this graph. From 2 to 10 sec,
there are 16 blocks. Each block is (2 m/s) high and (2 sec) wide,
so its area is (2 m/s) x (2 sec) = 4 meters. The area of 16 blocks
is (16) x (4 meters) = 64 meters.
====================================
#15.
a). constant velocity on a distance graph is a line that slopes up;
constant velocity on a velocity graph is a horizontal line;
b). positive constant acceleration on a distance graph is a
line that curves up;
positive constant acceleration on a velocity graph is a
straight line that slopes up;
c). "uniformly slowing down to a stop" on a distance graph
is a line that's less and less curved as time goes on, and
eventually reaches the x-axis.
"uniformly slowing down to a stop" on a velocity graph is
a straight line that slopes down, and stops when it reaches
the x-axis.
Answer:
relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface.
Explanation:
Gauss Law states that overall electric flux of a closed surface is equivalent right to charge enclosed which is divided by the permittivity. In other words Gauss Law stress that
net electric flux that pass through an hypothetical closed surface is equivalent to overall electric charge present within that closed surface.
The Gauss law can be expressed mathematically as
ϕ = (Q/ϵ0)
Q = total charge within the surface,
ε0 = the electric constant
