Rzqust [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

Explanation:

We have given current flowing in the heater I = 15 A

Voltage on which heater is operating V = 120 volt

We have to find the power consumption in the heater

We know that power consumption is given by P = VI

So power consumption in heater = 120 × 15 = 1800 W

So there will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

What is the slit spacing of a diffraction necessary for a 600 nm light to have a first order principal maximum at 25.0°?
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of light, \lambda=600\ nm=6\times 10^{-7}\ m

Angle, \theta=25^{\circ}

We need to find the slit spacing for diffraction. For a diffraction, the first order principal maximum is given by :

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

n is 1 here

d is slit spacing

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{\sin\theta}\\\\d=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-7}}{\sin(25)}\\\\d=1.41\times 10^{-6}\ m\\\\d=1.41\ \mu m

So, the slit spacing is 1.41\ \mu m.

A 230.-mL sample of a 0.240 M solution is left on a hot plate overnight; the following morning, the solution is 1.75 M. What vol
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The volume of water evaporated is 199mL

Explanation:

Concentration is calculated with the following formula

C=\frac{n}{V}

where n is the number of moles of solute and V is the volume of the solution (in this case is the same as the solvent volume) in liters.

So we isolate the variable n to know the amount of moles, using the volume given in liters

230mL=0.23L

n=C*V=0.240 M*0.23L=0.055 mol

Now, we isolate the variable V to know the new volume with the new concentration given.

V=\frac{n}{C} =0.055mol/1.75M=0.031L=31mL

Finally, the volume of water evaporated is the difference between initial and final volume.

V_{ev}= V_{i} -V_{f} =230mL-31mL=199mL

A 95kg fullback (football player for those not into sports) moving south with a speed of 5.0 m/s has a perfectly inelastic colli
Lunna [17]

Answer:

a.  v=3.11mls, 29.4^{0}

b.   K.E =-697.8J

Explanation:

To calculate the values in the  question, a deep understanding of perfect inelastic collision is important.

When two bodies undergo inelastic collision, two important parameters must be well understood i.e

Momentum: the momentum is always conserved in perfectly inelastic collision. i.e the total momentum after collision is the sum of the individual momentum before collision

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is not conserved due to dissipative force.

a.To calculate the velocity, we first find the total momentum before collision

Momentum of player 1 p_{1} =mv=95kg*5m/s\\p_{1} =475kgm/s\\

Momentum of player 2 p_{2} =mv=90kg*3m/s\\p_{1} =270kgm/s\\

Hence the total momentum p_{12}=p_{1}+p_{2}\\

Note, since the direction of movement before collision is due south and  due north respectively we have to represent the velocity using the rectangular coordinate

Hence  p_{12}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v=p_{1}i+p_{2}j\\

(95+90)v=475i+270j\\

v=2.57i+1.45j\\

solving for the resultant velocity, we have

v=\sqrt{2.75^{2} +1.45^{2}}\\ v=3.11mls

To calculate the direction of movement, we have

\alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{v_{j} }{v_{i}}\\  \alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{1.45}{2.57}\\\alpha =29.4^{0}

b. to calculate the decrease in total kinetic energy, before collision, the total kinetic was

K.E_{initial} =\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}.\\K.E_{initial} =((1/2)*95*5^{2})+((1/2)*90*3^{2})\\K.E_{initial} =1187.5+405\\K.E_{initial} =1592.5J\\

And the final kinetic energy after collision is

K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2} )v^{2}\\  K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(95+90)* 3.11^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =894.7J

The decrease in Kinetic energy is

K.E =K.E_{final}- K.E_{initial}=894.7-1592.5

K.E =-697.8J

The negative sign indicate a decrease in Kinetic energy
