Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

$\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\ \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

I would say Conduction because you are touching the cookie sheet, even though it is hot (so heat) you are physically touching it so it would not be radiation

1. Two-point charges, QA = +8 μC and QB = -5 μC, are separated by a distance r = 10 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of t

tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Charges, $q_1=8\ \mu C=8\times 10^{-6}\ C$

$q_2=-5\ \mu C=-5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

The distance between charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the electric force. It is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2}\\\\F=36\ N$

So, the required force between charges is 36 N and it is towards positive charge i.e. +8 μC.

A basketball player jumped straight up to grab a rebound. If she was in the air for 0.80 second, how high did she jump?

Kazeer [188]

-- She went up for 0.4 sec and down for 0.4 sec.

-- The vertical distance traveled in gravity during ' t ' seconds is

   D = (1/2) x (g) x (t)²

   = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (0.4 sec)²

   = (4.9 m/s²) x (0.16 s²)

   = 0.784 meter ( B )

Dmitrij [34]

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.
