the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapor, or a liquid into a vapor, without change of temperature. hope this helps

The correct choice is

D. energy released or absorbed to change the phase of a substance.

By definition, latent heat is the amount of heat required by an object to change from one state to another. for example : heat required for 1 g of ice at 0 °C converts to water at 0 °C is 334 J.  heat required for 1 g of water at 100 °C to vaporize is 2230 J.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

6.18 m/s

Explanation:

Roller skate collision

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

P_{Miy} + p_{Piy} + j_{y}= P_{Mfy} +P_{pfy}

m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sinФ

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80)V_{f}sinФ

480 = 140V_{f} sinФ................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

P_{Mix} + p_{Pix} + j_{x} = P_{Mfx}+ P_{pfx}

m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cosФ

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80)V_{f}cosФ

 720= 140V_{f}cosФ

140Vf=\frac{720}{cos}Ф......................................(2)

 Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

 480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

To persuade my audience that the use of mobile communication devices by drivers—even when they are hands-free—is contributing to
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

specific purpose statement      

Explanation:

It is a specific purpose statement made for a persuasive speech on the question of fact.

A specific purpose statement helps to build on the general purpose (that is to inform) and to make it more specific to the audience. So if the first speech is an informative speech, our general purpose is to inform our audience about a very specific realm of knowledge.

A specific purpose statement is given to audience to persuade on specific information.

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

388 cm^3

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

pV=const.

which can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

In our case, we have:

p_1 = 75.9 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1 = 639 cm^3 is the initial volume

p_2 = 125 kPa is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3

Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b
Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

Why does carpet tend to produce differences in static electricity more that hardwood or tile floors
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges, called electrons, which can build up on one object to produce a static charge. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, electrons can transfer onto you, building up a static charge on your skin.

Explanation:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges
