You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.
ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>
Answer:
The crest to trough distance = 8 m
Explanation:
Given that,
The amplitude of a particular wave is 4.0 m.
We need to find the crest to trough distance.
We know that,
Amplitude = The distance from the base line to the crest or the the distance from the baseline to the trough.
It means,
Distance from crest to trough = 2(Amplitude)
= 2(4)
= 8 m
Hence, the crest to trough distance is equal to 8 m.
Answer:
1- For the track B. The potential energy is the same for the two cars, but because of the slope of the track, the car B earn kinetic energy faster. The gravitation acceleration of the cars will be g•sinθ, and the angle of the track B will have a bigger value for sinθ
2- The conservation of energy applies because the roller coaster is a closed track. When a car climb the track, it earn GPE, which is given by mgh, when it get down in the track, it transform GPE in KE, which is given in 1/2mv².
3-
Position of car (m) GPE KE GPE + KE
top (30m) 60000 0 60000
bottom (0m) 0 60000 60000
halfway down (15m) 30000 30000 60000
three-quarters way down 15000 45000 60000
