a water heater has a power rating of 1 kW. how many seconds will this heater take to boil 1 liter of water?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:
4.65 minutes.

Explanation:
Theoretical Assumptions (not realistic): 1) ALL of the heat energy is transferred to the water, and 2)the water is uniformly heated. 3) The water density is 1.0g/mL.
Because we are only heating it TO the “boiling point”, ONLY the energy to heat the water from 20 to 100’C using the heat capacity or specific heat of water is required. A “Watt” is 1 Joule/second. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-’C. Water mass is 1000g. The energy required to heat it is therefore

a toboggan loaded with vacationing students (total weight 1300 N) slides down a slope at 30 degrees and there is no friction. wh

sasho [114]

Answer:

The acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The total weight of the toboggan, W = 1300 N

The slope is, Ф = 30°

The acceleration of a body under the influence of the gravitational field does not depend on its mass, size and shape in the absence of the air resistance.

Therefore,

The acceleration of the toboggan is given by the formula,

a = g Sin Ф

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

a = 9.8 x Sin 30°

= 4.9 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

When an object with a negative charge is moved from point A to point B through an external electrical field, it gains electrical

Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

As per the problem,

$\Delta U = (V_{B} - V_{A})(-q) > 0$

When q > 0 then -q is a negative charge . Since, change in potential energy ( $\Delta U$ ) increases.

or, $(V_{A} - V_{B})q$ > 0

or, $V_{A} > V_{B}$

Therefore, both positive and negative charge will move from $V_{A}$ to $V_{B}$ and as $V_{B} < V_{A}$ so both of them move through a negative potential difference.

Thus, we can conclude that the true statements are as follows.

The positively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

The negatively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

Since the equation for the illumination of an object, i.e. the brightness of the light, is <em>inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source</em>, the form of the function is:

f(x) = k.x⁻²

Where x is the distance between the object and the light force, k is the constant of proportionality, and f(x) is the brightness.

Then, if you move halfway to the lamp the new distance is x/2 and the new brightness (call if F) is :

$F=k(x/2)^{-2}=\frac{k}{(x/2)^2}= \frac{k}{x^2}. 4=f(x).4$

Then, you have found that the light is 4 times as bright as it originally was.
