Hair dryer as you can tell from the difference, 500w
Artist 52 [7]3 years ago

The hair dryer dissipates 1700 joules of energy every second.

The microwave dissipates 1200 joules of energy every second.

In 5 minutes (300 seconds), the hair dryer uses up 150,000 more joules of energy than the microwave does.

As measured by an observer on the earth, a spacecraft runway on earth has a length of 3600 m. (a) What is the length of the runw
Veronika [31]

Answer:

a)  L= 3568 m

b) 9×10^{-5} sec

c)  8.92×10^{-5} sec

Explanation:

runway length on the Earth L_o = 3600 m

Speed of the spacecraft flying past  v= 4.00×10^7 m/s

then Einstein's length contraction theory,

L =L_o \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

L =3600\sqrt{1- \frac{(4\times10^7)^2}{(3\times10^8)^2}

Solving we get L= 3568 m

b) Time interval for an observer on earth when the spacecraft is directly over one end of the runway until it is directly over the other end.

L_o= 3600 m

speed v= 4.00×10^7 m/s

Then time interval Δt = L_o/v=  \frac{3600}{4\times10^7}=  9×10^{-5} sec

c)  for the pilot the time interval will be

Δt_o = L/v = \frac{3568}{4\times10^7} = 8.92×10^{-5} sec

It turns out that the depth in the ocean to which airborne electromagnetic signals can be detected grows with the wavelength. Th
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Wavelength = speed / frequency.

Wavelength = 3x10^8 m/s / 30 hz

Wavelength = 10 million meters

1/2 wavelength = 5 million meters

(that's about 3,100 miles)

I'm pretty sure the frequency is wrong in the question.

I think it's actually 30 kHz, not 30 Hz.

That makes the antenna about 3.1 miles long.

Calculate the average speed of an automobile that travels 60km east and then 80km north in two hours
lbvjy [14]
We need to calculate speed , so we don't need to consider direction.
speed =distance/time
=(80+60)/2
=70.

But if we were to calculate velocity,we would need to consider the direction.
The direction of resultant displacement would be in north east direction with displacement
=√60^2 +80^2
=100km

The average velocity=100/2=50kmph

When electrons are shared unequally a/an<br> bond is formed
givi [52]
Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms and are attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In pure covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally, as one atom exerts a stronger force of attraction on the electrons than the other.
