Hi there!

Recall the following relationships:

W = \Delta U = mg\Delta h\\\\P = \frac{W}{t}

W = Work (J)

U = Potential Energy (J)

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = height (m)

t = time (s)

Begin by calculating the work:

W = 50(10)(8) = 4000 J

Now, divide by the time to solve for power:

P = \frac{4000}{5} = \boxed{800W}

**W is the unit for power (Watts).  Be careful not to get the two confused.

Charge flows from low potential to high potential.<br> O True<br> or<br> O False
inn [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).

Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).

Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.

A block of ice (m = 9 kg) at a temperature of T1 = 0 degrees C is placed out in the sun until it melts, and the temperature of t
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) An expression for the amount of energy, E_m, needed to melt the ice into water.

(E_m) = (m × Lf)

b) An expression for the total amount of energy, E_tot, to melt the ice and then bring the water to T2

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

c) 3,646,458 J = 3646.46 kJ

Explanation:

a) When a pure body changes its phase at meltimgbor boiling point, it does so at a constant temperature. When a pure body melts, the amount of heat responsible for this change is just given by a product od the mass of the body and the body's heat of fusion.

(E_m) = (m × Lf)

b) The Heat required to raise the temperature of a body from one temperature to another is given by the product of the mass of the body, its specific heat capacity and the temperature difference between the final point and the starting point.

(E_2) = mcΔT = mc (T2 - T1)

Total heat required to melt the ice at T1 = 0 and raise the temperature of the resulting water to T2 is then a sum of (E_m) + (E_2)

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

c) What is the energy in Joules?

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

m = mass of ice = resulting mass of water = 9 kg

Lf = latent heat of fusion = 334000 J/kg

c = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/kg.K

T2 = final temperature of the water = 17°C

T1 = Initial temperature of the water = 0°C

Note that the units of temperature difference is the same for K and °C

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

Q = (9 × 334000) + [9 × 4186 × (17 - 0)]

Q = 3,006,000 + 640,458 = 3,646,458 J = 3646.46 kJ

Hope this Helps!!!
