The latent heat of vaporization of water is roughly 10 times the latent heat of fusion of water. The amount of heat required to boil away 1 kg of water is the amount of heat required to melt 1 kg of ice.

The amount of heat required to boil away 1 kg of water is 10 times the amount of heat required to melt 1 kg of ice

Explanation:

let the latent heat of fusion of ice  = L

then, the latent heat of vaporization of water = 10L

The heat of fusion of 1 kg of ice = 1 x L = L

The heat of vaporization 1 kg of water = 1 x 10L = 10L

Therefore, the amount of heat required to boil away 1 kg of water is 10 times the amount of heat required to melt 1 kg of ice

not too sure thinking it will always be directed towards the centre of the earth. could be wrong not sure

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
