Calculate the minimum amount of energy, in joules, required to completely melt 145 g of silver initially at 22.0°c. the melting point of silver is at 962°c. its specific heat capacity is 236 j/kg·k and its latent heat of fusion is 105 kj/kg.

Mass (kg) force (n) 5 25 10 50 15 75 20 100 a student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. he placed four different masses on a table and pulled them using a spring scale. the table shows the different masses used in the experiment and the force required to pull each mass. the student concluded that more force was required to pull heavier objects. what comment would you make regarding his conclusion? a) no clear relation can be observed between mass and force from the data. b) there is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table. c) gravity should have been taken into account while performing the experiment. d) there is an inverse proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
