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.

When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.33 A. When they are wired in pa
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2

In parallel

\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}

\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0

Solving the above quadratic equation

\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}

\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

A person driving a car suddenly applies the brakes. The car takes 4 s to come to rest while traveling 20 m at constant accelerat
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Yes we can find the initial velocity of car without finding acceleration.

u = 10 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that

s=20 m

Car takes 4 s to come in rest.

We know that when acceleration is constant then we can apply motion equation

v=u+at        ----------1

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2       ------2

From equation 1 and 2

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}t^2\left (\dfrac{v-u}{t} \right )

So we can say that

s= \left(\dfrac{v+u}{2}\right)t

Given that the velocity of car at final condition will be zero (v=0)

s= \left(\dfrac{0+u}{2}\right)t

s= \left(\dfrac{u}{2}\right)t

From the above equation we can find the initial velocity of car without finding the acceleration

20= \dfrac{u}{2}\times 4

u = 10 m/s

answers Collision derivation problem. If the car has a mass of 0.2 kg, the ratio of height to width of the ramp is 12/75, the in
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

4.8967m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

M = 0.2kg

∆p = 0.58kgm/s

S(i) = 2.25m

Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity

Therefore, ∆p = MV

0.58kgm/s = 0.2V

V = 0.58/2

V = 2.9m/s

Then, we can use the conservation of energy to solve for maximum height the car can go

E(i) = E(f)

1/2mV² = mgh

Mass cancels out

1/2V² = gh

h = 1/2V²/g = V²/2g

h = (2.9)²/2(9.8)

h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m

Since we have gotten the heigh, the next thing is to solve for actual slant of the ramp and initial displacement using similar triangles.

h/w = 0.429/x

X = 0.429×75/12

X = 2.6815

Therefore, by Pythagoreans rule

S(ramp) = √2.68125²+0.429²

S(ramp) = 2.64671

Finally, S(t) = S(ramp) + S(i)

= 2.64671+2.25

= 4.8967m

A 20 watt lightbulb uses 20 Joules of energy every second.A person expends 50 watts of energy per stair when climbing up stairs.
Pachacha [2.7K]
20W = 20 J/s

Energy expended during climbing stairs = 50 W of energy/stair = 50J/stair

For 20 stairs, Total energy = 50x20 = 1000 J

This can light bulbs for, T= 1000J/20 J/s =50 seconds
