A) red light
red lights are an example of an electromagnetic wave. visible lights are the only electromagnetic waves we can actually see on the spectrum. red, in particular has the biggest wavelength.

b) ocean waves
ocean waves are not an electromagnetic wave. in fact, it’s a mechanical wave. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is empty space, but mechanical waves cannot.

c) sound waves
sound waves are also not an electromagnetic wave. it’s a mechanical wave. you cannot hear electromagnetic waves.

d) earthquakes
an earthquake is also not an example of electromagnetic waves. it’s a mechanical wave.

hope this helps!

A toaster using a Nichrome heating element operates on 120 V. When it is switched on at 28 ∘С, the heating element carries an in

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The final temperature of the element = 262.67°C

The power dissipated in the heating element initially = 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A = 147.60 W

Explanation:

Our given parameters include;

A Nichrome heating element operates on 120 V.

Voltage (V) = 120V

Initial Current (I₁) = 1.36 A

Initial Temperature (T₁) = 28°C

Final Current (I₂) = 1.23 A

Final Temperature (T₂) = unknown ????

Temperature dependencies of resistance is given by:

$R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]$ ---------------------- (1)

in which R₁ is the resistance at temperature T₁

$R_{T(2)$ is the resistance at temperature T₂

Given that V= IR

R = $\frac{V}{I}$

Therefore, the resistance at temperature 28°C is;

$R_{28}= \frac{120V}{1.36A}$

= 88.24Ω

$R_{T(2)$ = $\frac{120V}{1.23A}$

= 97.56Ω

From (1) above;

$R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]$

97.56 = 88.24 [ 1 + 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)]

$\frac{97.56}{88.24}= 1+(4.5*10^{-4})(T-28^0C)$

1.1056 - 1 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)

0.1056 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(T₂-28°C)

$\frac{0.1056}{4.5*10^{-4}}= T-28^0C$

T - 28° C = 234.67

T = 234.67 + 28° C

T = 262.67 ° C

(b)

What is the power dissipated in the heating element initially and when the current reaches 1.23 A

The power dissipated in the heating element initially can be calculated as:

P = I²₁R₂₈

P = (1.36A)²(88.24Ω)

P = 163.209 W

P ≅ 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A can be calculated as:

$P= I^2_2R_{T^0C$

P = (1.23)²(97.56Ω)

P = 147.598524

P ≅ 147.60 W

2. Find the time taken by the bus to reach the stop. need only group B, 2 answer

Molodets [167]

Answer:

t = 2 seconds

Explanation:

In 2nd question, the question is given the attached figure.

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 8 m/s²

Final speed, v = 16 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the car to reach the stop. Acceleration of an object is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

t is time taken

$t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{16-0}{8}\\\\t=2\ s$

The bus will take 2 seconds to reach the stop.

A tank contains gas at 13.0°C pressurized to 10.0 atm. The temperature of the gas is increased to 95.0°C, and half the gas is re

fomenos

Answer:

The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 13+273=286 K

Pressure = 10.0 atm

We need to calculate the pressure of the remaining gas

Using equation of ideal gas

$PV=nRT$

For a gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=nRT_{1}$

Where, P = pressure

V = volume

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

$10\times V=nR\times286$ ....(I)

When the temperature of the gas is increased

Then,

$P_{2}V_{2}=\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}$ ....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

$\dfrac{P_{1}V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nRT_{1}}{\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}}$

$\dfrac{10\times V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nR\times286}{\dfrac{n}{2}R368}$

$P_{2}=\dfrac{10\times368}{2\times286}$

$P_{2}= 6.433\ atm$

$P_{2}=6.4\ atm$

Hence, The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.
