A piece of substance of specific heat capacity 450Jkg\(^{-1}\)k\(^{1}\) falls through a vertical distance of 20m from rest. Calculate the rise in temperature of the substance on hitting the ground when all its energies are converted into heat. [g = 10ms\(^{-2}\)]
I. A liquid boils when its saturated vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure
II. Dissolved substances in pure water lead to an increase in the boiling point.
III. When the external pressure is increased, the boiling point increases.
IV. Dissolved substances in pure water decreases the boiling point
Which of the above combinations are peculiarities of the boiling point of a liquid?
The temperature gradient across a copper rod of thickness 0.02m, maintained at two temperature junctions of 20º and 80ºC respectively is?
Calculate the mass of ice that would melt when 2kg of copper is quickly transferred from boiling water to a block of ice without heat loss (specific heat capacity of copper = 400Jkg\(^{1}\)k\(^{-1}\), latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.3 x 10\(^{5}\)Jkg\(^{-1}\))
The equation of a wave traveling along the positive x-direction is given by; y = 0.25 x 10\(^{-3}\) sin (500t - 0.025x). Determine the angular velocity of the wave motion.
