A casting made of cast iron weighs 4.7 kg. The riser and gating system add another 2.5 kg to the total metal poured during the operation. The melting temperature of this grade of cast iron = 1180°C, its density = 7.6 g/cm3, specific heat = 0.46 J/g°C, and heat of fusion = 126 J/g. Assume that the specific heat has the same value for solid and molten metal. Compute (a) the unit energy for melting and pouring and (b) the total energy to heat the metal to a pouring temperature of 1300°C from a starting temperature of 25°C. (c) What is the volume of the casting?

Why don't you see your reflection in water with waves or repples

As a pendulum bob swings back and forth several times, the maximum height it reaches becomes less and less. this is because more and more of the pendulum bob's energy is being transformed into a. heat energy b. kinetic energy c. potential energy d. kinetic energy and potential energy

Agroup of students is studying convection currents. they fill two identical balloons with the same amount of helium. one balloon is placed in a freezer and the other in an area with warm air. after 10 minutes, the balloons are released from a height of 1 meter. which of the following do the students most likely observe? question 2 options: the balloons rise at the same rate. both balloons are the same size. the ballons both rise. the cold ballon is larger than the warm balloon. the cold balloon expands and rises. the warm balloon shrinks and sinks. the warm balloon expands and rises. the cold balloon shrinks and sinks.
