Soon after Earth was formed, heat released by the decay of radioactive elements raised the average internal temperature from 300

to 3000 K, at about which value it remains today. Assuming an average coefficient of volume expansion of 3.2 × 10–5 K–1, by how much has the radius of Earth increased since the planet was formed?

Answer:

97.03%

Explanation:

The equation for volumetric expansion due to thermal expansion is as follows

V/Vo=(1+γΔT)

V=final volume

Vo=initial volume

γ=coefficient of volume expansion=3.2 × 10–5 K–1

ΔT=

temperature difference

assuming that the earth is a sphere the volume is given by

V=(4/3)pi R^3

if we find the relationship between the initial and final volume we have the following

\frac{V}{Vo}  =\frac{ \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} }{ \frac{4}{3} \pi ro^{3}}=\frac{r^{3} }{ro^{3}}

taking into account the previous equation

r/ro=(1+γΔT)^(1/3)

r/r0=(1-3.2x10-5(3000-300))^(1/3)=

r/ro=0.9703=97.03%

The motor in a refrigerator has a power output of 294 W. If the freezing compartment is at 271 K and the outside air is at 310 K
dusya [7]

Answer:

Maximum amount of heat = 10002151.38J

Explanation:

Workdone by motor in 86.1 minutes I given by:

W = power × time

W= 294 × 86.1×60

W= 1439424 Joules

W= 1.4 ×10^6Joules

The amount of heat extracted is given by:

/QL /= K/W/ = TL/W/ /(TH - TL)

Where TL= freezing compartment temperature

TH = Outside air temperature

/QL /= 271 × 1439424 / (310 - 271)

/QL/ = 390083904/39

/QL/ = 10002151.38 Joules

A 0.046 kg golf ball hit by a driver can accelerate from rest to 67 m/s in 1 ms while the driver is in contact with the ball. Ho
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Average force = 67 mn

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 67 m/s

Time t = 1 ms = 0.001 sec.

Computation:

Using Momentum theory

Change in momentum  = F × Δt

 (v-u)/t =  F × Δt

F × 0.001 = (67 - 0)/0.001

F= 67,000,000

Average force = 67 mn

Sam makes six star-shaped cookies out of dough. He puts all of the cookies on a balance and measures the total weight as 36 gram
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is "36 grams".

Explanation:

In this question, the weight of the ball is not mentioned but is the weight of the cookies is declared, which is equal to 36 grams, and all the cookies are squeezes into the ball and after that, it calculates the overall weight so, let assume that ball weight is =0 and then the overall weight is:

=\text{weight of ball + cookies weight}\\\\=0+36 \ grams \\\\=36 \ grams

Suppose that the collector is held at a small negative voltage with respect to the grid. Will the accelerated electrons reach th
Leona [35]

Answer:

B) Yes, but only those electrons with energy greater than the potential difference established between the grid and the collector will reach the collector.

Explanation:

In the case when the collector would held at a negative voltage i.e. small with regard to grid So yes the accelerated electrons would be reach to the collecting plate as the kinetic energy would be more than the potential energy that because of negative potential

so according to the given situation, the option b is correct

And, the rest of the options are wrong
