Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

945 j

Explanation:

You have just given the ball kinetic energy, which is given by the following equation:

KE= 1⁄2 m v2 = 1⁄2 (2.1 kg)(30 m/s)2 = 945 Joules

An electric furnace runs 13 hours a day to heat a house during January (31 days). The heating element has a resistance of 7.2 an

liq [111]

Answer:

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Explanation:

given data

runs a day = 13 hours

January days = 31 days

resistance = 7.2 ohm

current = 16.7 A

cost of electricity = $0.10/kWh

to find out

cost of running the furnace during January

solution

first we get her power consumed by furnace that is

Power consumed = $\frac{I^2}{R}$ ........1

put here value we get

Power consumed = $\frac{16.7^2}{7.2}$

Power consumed = 38.7347 W

and

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = Power consumed × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = 38.7347 × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is 139.445kWh

and

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January is

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 139.445kWh × 13 hours × 31 days

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is = $0.10/kWh × 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/

Akimi4 [234]

The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)

What is air pressure?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.
