Answer:

They have three to six valence electrons, so they can lose or gain electrons.

An electric pump rated 1.5 KW lifts 200kg of water through a vertical height of 6m in 10 secs: way is the efficiency of the pump

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

= Change in potential energy of water per second

=mgh / t

= 200× 10×6 / 10

= 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = $\frac{1.2}{1.5}$ × 100%

= 80 %

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.

If a substance has a density of 2.7g/cm3 and a mass of 86.4g, what is its volume?

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

32cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of substance = 2.7g/cm³

Mass of substance = 86.4g

Unknown:

Volume of substance = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Since the unknown is volume we solve for it;

mass = density x volume

86.4 = 2.7 x volume

volume = $\frac{86.4}{2.7}$ = 32cm³
