Answer:

Explanation:

Formula used for calculating power P = current * voltage

P = IV

From ohms law, V = IR where R is the resistance. Substituting V = IR into the formula for calculating power, we will have;

P = IV

P =(V/R)V

P = V²/R

Given parameters

Power rating of the bulb P = 100 Watts

Source voltage V = 110V

Required

Resistance of the bulb R

Substituting the given parameters into the formula for calculating power to get Resistance R;

P = V²/R

100 = 110²/R

R = 110²/100

R = 110 * 110/100

R = 12100/100

R = 121 ohms

Hence, the resistance of this bulb is 121 ohms

An open container holds ice of mass 0.555 kg at a temperature of -16.6 ∘C . The mass of the container can be ignored. Heat is su

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: A. 23.59 minutes.

B. 249.65 minutes

Explanation: This question involves the concept of Latent Heat and specific heat capacities of water in solid phase.

Latent heat of fusion is the total amount of heat rejected from the unit mass of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert completely into ice of 0 degree Celsius (and the heat required for vice-versa process).

Specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required by the unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 kelvin.

Here, given that:

mass of ice, m= 0.555 kg

temperature of ice, T= -16.6°C

rate of heat transfer, $q=820 J.min^{-1}$

specific heat of ice, $c_{i}= 2100 J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

latent heat of fusion of ice, $L_{i}=334\times10^{3}J.kg^{-1}$

Asked:

1. Time require for the ice to start melting.

2. Time required to raise the temperature above freezing point.

Sol.: 1.

We have the formula:

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Using above equation we find the total heat required to bring the ice from -16.6°C to 0°C.

$Q= 0.555\times2100\times16.6$

$Q= 19347.3 J$

Now, we require 19347.3 joules of heat to bring the ice to 0°C and then on further addition of heat it starts melting.

∴The time required before the ice starts to melt is the time required to bring the ice to 0°C.

$t=\frac{Q}{q}$

$=\frac{19347.3}{820}$

= 23.59 minutes.

Sol.: 2.

Next we need to find the time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins.

Now comes the concept of Latent heat into the play, the temperature does not starts rising for the ice as soon as it reaches at 0°C it takes significant amount of time to raise the temperature because the heat energy is being used to convert the phase of the water molecules from solid to liquid.

From the above solution we have concluded that 23.59 minutes is required for the given ice to come to 0°C, now we need some extra amount of energy to convert this ice to liquid water of 0°C.

We have the equation: latent heat, $Q_{L}= mL_{i}$

$Q_{L}= 0.555\times334\times10^{3}= 185370 J$

Now the time required for supply of 185370 J:

$t=\frac{Q_{L}}{q}$

$t=\frac{185370}{820}$

t= 226.06 minutes

∴ The time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins= 226.06 + 23.59

= 249.65 minutes

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar, F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k$ = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

$f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg$

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$f = 0.3\times108\times9.8$

$f = 317.52N$

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

$F_{Net}= F-f$

Substituting the values in the equation we get

$F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N$

$F_{Net}= 216.48$

also,

$F_{Net}= M\times$ acceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{F_{Net}}{M}$

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{216.48}{108}$

acceleration of the safe= $2.00 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be 2.00 m/s²

What is the temperature 32 degrees Fahrenheit in degrees Celsius? A. 0°C B. 20°C C. 10°C D. –10°C

omeli [17]

The answer would 0. The reasoning of this is because freezing point in celsius is always 0 degrees but in fahrenheit the freezing point is 32 degrees.
