A, Because it is lighter than Iron

Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer: stronger than iron

Explanation: Steel is an alloy of iron mixed with small quantities of carbon.  Iron being a pure metal is soft as the atoms can slip over one another due to the presence of free electrons.

Addition of carbon to iron, makes the iron hard as the carbon hinders the movement of atoms past one another. The tensile strength or resistance to break under applied force for steel gets more as compared to iron.

A softball player moving 3.89 m/s
Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.119 s

Explanation:

Given that

U=3.89\ m/s\\a=-1.44\ m/s^2\\S=4.8\ m

Lets take final speed of the softball after covering 4.8 m = V

We know that

V^2=U^2+2aS\\V^2=3.89^2-2\times 1.44\times 4.8\\V=3.7\ m/s

Also We know that

V=U+at\\

Putting the value of V ,U and a in the previous equation  We get

3.7=3.89-1.44\times t\\t=0.119\ s

Therefore slide time will be 0.119 s

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days. How much energy is used? A laptop uses 75 W. The cot of el
zzz [600]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.

Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.

500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]

The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?

We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.

0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]

A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?

Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).

Therefore.

Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]

How do you think density plays a role in the atmosphere?
Feliz [49]
Answer:
Also, gases like air are easily compressed. The weight of all the air above a given point in the atmosphere squeezes air molecules closer together. This causes the density to increase. The more air above a level (and hence the more weight of air above a level), the greater the compression.

In a simple circuit a 6-volt dry cell pushes charge through a single lamp which has a resistance of 3 Ω. According to Ohms law t
RSB [31]

Answer:

The answers and workings is in the Explanation section

Explanation:

<em>In a simple circuit a 6-volt dry cell pushes charge through a single lamp which has a resistance of 3 Ω. According to Ohms law the current through the circuit is _____________ Amps. </em>

According to Ohm’s law V =I*R  

Where V = Voltage, I = Current and R = Resistance

I = V/R =6/3 =2 Amps of current

Answer = 2 Amps

<em> If a second identical lamp is connected in series, the 6-volt battery must push a charge through a total resistance of ________ Ω</em>.  <em>The current in the circuit is then __________ Amps. </em>

Since the second lamp is connected in series with the first, the total resistance will R₂ = 3 + 3 = 6Ω

2 resistance in series  R₂ =  6Ω

The current in the circuit with the two lamps connected in series is I₂ =V/R₂ =6/6 = 1 Amps

The current is 1 Amps

Answer =  6Ω  and 1 Amps

<em>If a third identical lamp is connected in series, the total resistance is now _________Ω.  The current through all three lamps in series is now _________ Amps.  </em>

Since the third lamp is connected in series with the first and second, the total resistance will R₃ = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9Ω

total resistance of the 3 lamps R₃ =  9Ω

The current in the circuit with the three lamps connected in series is

I =V/R₃ =6/9 = 0.67 Amps

The current through the 3 lamps I₃ = 0.67 Amps

Answer =  9Ω  and 0.67 Amps

<em>The current through each individual lamp is __________ Amps.  </em>

Since all 3 lamps are connected in series, the same current will flow through each of the  3 lamps, and that current is I₃  

The current through each individual lamp is 0.67 Amp

Answer = 0.67 Amp

<em>What is the power when a voltage of 120 volts drives a current of 3 amps through a device?  </em>

The formula for power P = I*V =120*3 = 360 Watts

power P  = 360 Watts

Answer = 360 Watts

<em>What is the current when a 90-W light bulb is connected to 120 V? </em>

From P =I*V, make I the subject of the formula, I = P/V =90/120 = 0.75

Current= 0.75 Amps

Answer =  0.75 Amps

<em>How much current does a 75-W light bulb draw when connected to 120 V?</em>  

Current I =P/V = 75/120 = 0.625 Amps.

Answer = 0.625 Amps

<em>If part of an electric circuit dissipates energy at 6 W when it draws a current of 3 A, what voltage is impressed across it? </em>

Voltage V =P/I =6/3 =2 Volts

Answer = 2 Volts

<em> If a 60 W light bulb at 120 V is left on in your house to prevent burglary, and the power company charges 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, how much will it cost to leave the bulb on for 30 days? Show your work. </em>

24 hours make 1 day, so the number of hours the bulb was left on = 24 *30 = 720 hours

The power rating of the bulb is 60W = 60/1000 = 0.06 KiloWatt

Total power consumed in kilowatt-hour = 0.06 * 720 = 43.2 kilowatt-hour

Cost for 30 days = 0.1*43.2 = $4.32 ( note that 10 Cents = $0.1)

Answer =  $4.32
