The resistance of the heating element is 21.61 Ω

Given

The power dissipated = 1500 W

Voltage = 180 V

We know that

Power = Voltage * Current

⇒ Power / Voltage = Current

⇒ 1500 W/180 V = Current

⇒ 8.33 A = Current

In order to calculate the resistance of the heating element. We Have to apply the formula

Power = (Current)^2 * Resistance

⇒ Resistance = Power / (Current)^2

⇒ Resistance = 1500 W/ (8.33) ^2

⇒ Resistance = 21.61 Ω

Hence the resistance of the heating element is 21.61 Ω

Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.
Potential energy = mass x gravity x height
Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²

1.
The ball is not moving and is at a height above the ground so it has only potential energy.
P.E = 2 x 9.81 x 40
P.E = 784.8 J

2.
The ball is moving and has a height above the Earth's surface so it has both kinetic and potential energy.
P.E = same as part 1 = 784.8 J
K.E = 1/2 x 2 x 5²
K.E = 25 J

3.
The ball has no height above the Earth's surface and is moving so it has only kinetic energy.
K.E = 1/2 x 2 x 10²
K.E = 100 J

4.
50000 = 1/2 x 1000 x v²
v = 10 m/s

5.
39200 = 200 x 9.81 x h
h = 20.0 m

6.
12.5 = 1/2 x 1 x v²
v = 5 m/s
98 = 1 x 9.81 x h
h = 10.0 m

Lithium chloride crystallizes in a face-centered cubic unit cell with chloride ions occupying the lattice points and lithium ion

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The coordination number of a particular crystal structure arrangement is defined as the number of nearest neighbor atoms or ions surrounding an atom or ion.

We must note that in salts of the type MX, the coordination number of each ion must be equal. The structure of LiCl is built by placing each unit cell next to another such that ions residing in the corner, edge or face sites are shared between adjacent unit cells. The LiCl is in FCC arrangement.

Hence in LiCl, each Li+ ion is surrounded by 6 chloride ions.
