Inertia is universally present. It's important to note that inertia doesn't serve as the force keeping objects in circular paths; that role belongs to centripetal force, which is not always present. Centripetal force actively pulls objects towards the center of a circle. Both inertia and centripetal force contribute to the phenomenon of circular motion. Thank you, and enjoy your day;)
Answer: c. 4.56 × 105 J
Explanation:
Given the mass of the lead brick, m = 7.25 kg
Starting temperature T1 = 18.0 °C
Ending temperature T2 = 328 °C
The specific heat capacity for lead, c = 128 J/(kg∙°C)
And the latent heat of fusion Lfusion = 23,200 J/kg
The required energy Q =?
Using the following equations
Energy required, Q = mc (T2 - T1) + mLfusion
Substituting in the values we have: 7.25 kg * 128 J/(kg∙°C) * (328 - 18°C) + 7.25 kg * 23200 J/kg
= 455880 J
= 4.56 x 10^5 J
