When silver is poured into the mould the it will solidify

In this process the phase of the Silver block will change from liquid to solid.

This phase change will lead to release in heat and this heat is known as latent heat of fusion.

The formula to find the latent heat of fusion is given as

Q = mL

here given that

m = mass = 500 g

L = 111 kJ/kg

now we can find the heat released

Q = 0.5 * 111 kJ

Q = 55.5 kJ

So it will release total heat of 55.5 kJ when it will solidify

An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can produce a shock of up to 600 V and a current of 1 A for a duration of 2 ms, which
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2\times 10^{-3}\ C

6000

1.2 J

3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F

Explanation:

I = Current = 1 A

t = Time = 2 ms

n = Number of electrocyte

V = Voltage = 100 mV

Charge is given by

Q=It\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\times 10^{-3}\ C

The charge flowing through the electrocytes in that amount of time is 2\times 10^{-3}\ C

The maximum potential is given by

V_m=nV\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{V_m}{V}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{600}{100\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=6000

The number of electrolytes is 6000

Energy is given by

E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=V_mIt\\\Rightarrow E=600\times 1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.2\ J

The energy released when the electric eel delivers a shock is 1.2 J

Equivalent capacitance is given by

C_e=\dfrac{Q}{V_m}\\\Rightarrow C_e=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-3}}{600}\\\Rightarrow C_e=3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F

The equivalent capacitance of all the electrocyte cells in the electric eel is 3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half
lutik1710 [3]
The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is
S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h
Therefore, the average velocity is 
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h

I WIL A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s. After the collision
pishuonlain [190]
Using the following given values:

Object 1:
Mass = M1 = 2 kg
Velocity before collision = Vb1 = 20 m/s
Velocity after collision = Va1 = -5 m/s 

Object 2:
Mass = M2 = 3 kg
Velocity before collision = Vb2 = -10 m/s
Velocity after collision = Va2 = ? m/s<span> 
</span>
Obtaining Va2 via law of conservation of momentum:

total momentum after collision = total momentum before collision
M1 * Va1 + M2 * Va2 = M1 * Vb1 + M2 * Vb2
2*-5 + 3Va2 = 2*20 + 3*-10
Va2 = 6.67

Total kinetic energy before collision:

KE1 = (1/2)*M1*Vb1^2 + (1/2)*M2*Vb2^2
<span>KE1 = (1/2)*2*(20)^2 + (1/2)*3*(-10)^2
KE1 = 550 J

</span>Total kinetic energy after collision:

KE2 = (1/2)*M1*Va1^2 + (1/2)*M2*Va2^2
<span>KE2 = (1/2)*2*(-5)^2 + (1/2)*3*(6.67)^2
KE2 = 91.73 J
</span>
Total kinetic energy lost:

Energy lost = KE1 - KE2 = 550 - 91.73 = 458.27 J

A rock is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water, and the cylinder is covered to avoid evaporation. The next morning th
Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

The setup contains rock, cylinder, covering lid and atmosphere. One or a few may contribute to the loss of water.

They may be dry, so it might have absorbed water. The rock may be porous and absorb water due to gaps between its molecules.

The material used as lid to cover the cylinder may be not good enogh to stop water from evaporation. The cylinder you might have kept near a hot source and water may have converted water vapor.
