Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 1.6\ units = 14.4p}$

Explanation:

Since,

<h3><u>1 kWh = 1 unit</u></h3>

So,

1.6 kWh = 1.6 units

If,

<h3>1 unit = 9p</h3>

1.6 units = 9p × 1.6

1.6 units = 14.4p

What current flows through a 2.56-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 ✕ 103 V is applied to it? (Suc

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.0011 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of rod, d = 2.56 cm

Radius of rod, r = 1.28 cm = 0.0128 m

The resistivity of the pure silicon, $\rho=2300\ \Omega-m$

Length of rod, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Voltage, $V=1\times 10^3\ V$

The resistivity of the rod is given by :

$R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}$

$R=2300\ \Omega-m\dfrac{0.2\ m}{\pi (0.0128\ m)^2}$

R = 893692.30 ohms

Current flowing in the rod is calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = I R

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

$I=\dfrac{10^3\ V}{893692.30\ \Omega}$

I = 0.0011 A

So, the current flowing in the rod is 0.0011 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

P = 450 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child, m = 18 kg

The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.

The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg

We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the top to the bottom of the slide.

The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

P = mgh

Substituting all the values,

P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m

P = 450 J

Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.

Answer:

22.26 years

, 15.585 light years , 11.13 light years

Explanation:

a)

$t' = t/(\sqrt{1-(v/(c*v)/c)}$

= $15.9/\sqrt{(1-0.7*0.7)}$

= 22.26 years

b)

0.7*c*22.26 years

=15.585 light years

c)

0.7*c*15.9

=11.13 light years
