Answer:

c) 3176 J

Explanation:

mass of 125 popcorn = 125 x .0001 = . 0125 kg

increase in temperature =  175 - 21 = 154°C

specific heat of popcorn = 1650

heat required to increase temperature

= mass of popcorn x increase in temperature x specific heat

= .0125 x 154 x 1650

=  3176.25 J

Consider a 2.54-cm-diameter power line for which the potential difference from the ground, 19.6 m below, to the power line is 11
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The line charge density is 1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.54 cm

Distance = 19.6 m

Potential difference = 115 kV

We need to calculate the line charge density

Using formula of potential difference

V=EA

V=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}r}\times\pi r^2

\lambda=\dfrac{V\times2\epsilon_{0}}{r}

Where, r = radius

V = potential difference

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{115\times10^{3}\times2\times8.8\times10^{-12}}{1.27\times10^{-2}}

\lambda=1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

Hence, The line charge density is 1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

When water in a lake freezes, the ice that forms floats on top of any water that is still liquid. Why does the ice float?
ddd [48]

Answer:

it floats because the lake is cold at that moment so when part of the lake freezes it still remains solid and floats because of the lake and the surrounding of the lake is still cold

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = e^{kt}

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀ = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

0.1 = e^{-0.01t}

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s
