Solution:
It takes 80 calories to melt 1 gram of ice. If 1 g of ice (at 0 degrees Celsius) is given 80 calories, it will melt and the final temperature of the water will be 0. Freezing water at 0 degrees Celsius: It also takes 80 calories to freeze 1 gram of water.
282. Who indirectly determined the mass of the electron by measuring the charge of the electron?
Solution:
Polished surfaces are poor radiators of heat. So loss of heat on that account is reduced and the electric iron remains hotter than otherwise.
284. Conversion of heat into electrical energy is achieved by using :
Solution:
Velocitation is a phenomenon caused by driving for long periods at high speeds. A driver may experience velocitation when coming off of the highway; the change in speed makes him or her think that the car is going much slower than it actually is.
Velocitation is the tendency to be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived.
