2. A stone is dropped into a pool of water causing ripple to spread out. After 10 s the circumference of the ripple is 20 m. Calculate the velocity of the wave.
10. Imagine you have a system in which you have 54 grams of ice. You can melt this ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0 C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram. A. How much energy does the ice absorb as heat when it melts? B. How much work is involved in melting the ice? C. What is the total change in energy for melting the ice? D. What is the enthalpy change for melting the ice? E. What is the entropy change for melting the ice? F. What is the change in Helmholtz energy for melting the ice? G. What is the change in Gibbs energy for melting the ice?
In the figure Q = 5.7 nC and all other quantities are accurate to 2 significant figures. What is the magnitude of the force on the charge Q? (k = 1/4πε 0 = 8.99 × 109 N · m2/C2)
