A 5.5-kW resistance heater in a water heater runs for 3 hours to raise the water temperature to the desired level. Determine the

amount of electric energy used in both kWh and kJ.
Physics

Stella [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

16.5 kwh and 59400 kJ.

Explanation:

kWh is a measure of energy that is equivalent to the power in kw times the number of hours the device worked.

In this case, it would be equal to:

E_{kwh}=5.5kw*3h=16.5kwh

1 kw also means 1kj of energy spent per second. With this, we calculate the amount of energy in kJ spent by the resistance:

E_{kJ}=5.5\frac{kJ}{s}*3h*\frac{3600s}{1h} = 59400 kJ

A “real” image occurs when light rays actually intersect at the image, and become inverted, or turned upside down. ... In flat, or plane mirrors, the image is a virtual image, and is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. The image is also the same size as the object.

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?
MrRa [10]

Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.

What is the difference between a solar cell and a solar panel
dexar [7]

Solar cells and solar panels are both integral, and closely related, parts of a solar energy system. When reading about solar energy systems, it may seem as if these titles are almost interchangeable. Writers refer to them both when discussing energy production and output, and often do so without explanation of how these parts work. However, each plays a distinct role. Solar cells contain all the parts necessary to convert sunlight to electricity. Solar panels combine and direct all of that energy output.

a car moving at 11 m/s crashes into an obstacle and stops in 0.26s. compute the Force that a seatbelt exerts on a 21-kg child to
Natalka [10]

Answer:

890 N

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (11 m/s − 0 m/s) / 0.26 s

a = 42.3 m/s²

Force is mass times acceleration.

F = ma

F = (21 kg) (42.3 m/s²)

F ≈ 890 N
