How much electrical energy is used by a 400 W toaster that is operating for 5 minutes?

Shkiper50 [21]

The electrical energy consumed by a toaster is 0.033 Kwh.

Explanation:

The power utilized by the toaster is 400 W.

$\text { The power utilized by the toaster is } 400 \mathrm{W} \text { in kilo-watts is } \frac{400}{1000}=0.4 \mathrm{Kw}$

The toaster is operated for 5 Minutes.

$\text { The toaster is operated for } 5 \text { Minutes in hours is } \frac{5}{60}=0.083 \text { hours. (One minute is } 60 \text { seconds) }$

We know that,

$\text {power}=\frac{\text {energy}}{\text {time}}$

Substitute the values in the above formula to obtain electrical energy,

$0.4=\frac{\text { energy }}{0.083}$

Electrical energy = 0.4 × 0.083

Electrical energy is 0.033 Kwh.

Replacing an object attached to a spring with an object having 14 the original mass will change the frequency of oscillation of

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The frequency changes by a factor of 0.27.

Explanation:

The frequency of an object with mass m attached to a spring is given as

$f$ = $\frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

where $f$ is the frequency

k is the spring constant of the spring

m is the mass of the substance on the spring.

If the mass of the system is increased by 14 means the new frequency becomes

$f_{n}$ = $\frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{14m} }$

simplifying, we have

$f_{n}$ = $\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{14} } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

$f_{n}$ = $\frac{1}{3.742*2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

if we divide this final frequency by the original frequency, we'll have

==> $\frac{1}{3.742*2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ ÷ $\frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

==> $\frac{1}{3.742*2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ x $2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

==> 1/3.742 = 0.27

explain a ball is pitched east at a speed of 40 km/h. the batter hits it west at a speed of 40 km/h.did the ball accelerate

Slav-nsk [51]

Yep, uh-huh, indeed, indubitably, and you better believe it.
The ball did accelerate.

Acceleration means any one of these:
-- speeding up
-- slowing down
-- changing direction .

The direction of the ball changed from east to west.
That's acceleration right there.
_____________________________________

Acceleration means any change of velocity.
Velocity is speed and direction.

The velocity of the ball changed from (40 km/hr east) to (40 km/hr west).

The change in velocity was 80 km/hr to the west.

In each of the parts of this question, a nucleus undergoes a nuclear decay. Determine the resulting nucleus in each case.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

A) Francium-223

In an alpha decay, a nucleus decay emitting an alpha particle, which corresponds to a nucleus of helium: so, it consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

$X \rightarrow X' + \alpha$

This means that in the decay:

- The original nucleus loses 2 protons --> so its atomic number Z decreases by 2 units

- The original nucleus loses 2 nucleons (2 protons and 2 neutrons) --> so its mass number A decreases by 4 units

In this example, the original nucleus is Ac (Actinium), with

Z = 89

A = 227

After the decay, it must be

Z - 2 = 89 - 2 = 87

A - 4 = 227 - 4 = 223

We see from the periodict table, Z=87 corresponds to Francium (Fr), so the final nucleus will be francium-223 (the isotope of francium with 223 nucleons).

B) Polonium-211

In a beta-minus decay, a neutron in the nucleus turns into a proton, emitting a fast-moving electron (the beta particle) and an anti-neutrino.

$n \rightarrow p + e^- + \bar{\nu}$

Therefore, in this process:

- The original nucleus gains 1 protons, so its atomic number Z increases by 1 unit

- The original nucleus does not lose/gain nucleons, so its mass number A remains the same

In this example, the original nucleus is Bi (bismuth)-211, with

Z = 83

A = 211

So After the decay, it will be

Z + 1 = 83 + 1 = 84

A = 211

So, the nucleus will be Polonium (Z=84), isotope with 211 nucleons.

C) Neon-22

In a beta-plus decay, a proton in the nucleus turns into a neutron, emitting a fast-moving positron (the beta particle) and a neutrino.

$p \rightarrow n + e^+ +\nu$

Therefore, in this process:

- The original nucleus loses 1 protons, so its atomic number Z decreases by 1 unit

- The original nucleus does not lose/gain nucleons, so its mass number A remains the same

In this example, the original nucleus is Na (sodium)-22, with

Z = 11

A = 22

So After the decay, it will be

Z - 1 = 11 - 1 = 10

A = 22

So, the nucleus will be Neon (Z=10), isotope with 22 nucleons.

D) Technetium-98

In a gamma decay, an unstable nucleus emits a gamma ray:

$X' \rightarrow X + \gamma$

In this process, only energy is released (in the form of gamma ray), so there is no gain/loss of protons/neutrons in the process. This means that:

- The atomic number Z remains constant

- The mass number A remains constant

In this example, we have a nucleus of Tc (Technetium)-98, with

Z = 43

A = 98

These numbers will not change during the decay: this means that after the decay, we will still have a nucleus of Technetium-98.
