An office worker uses an immersion heater to warm 250 g of water in a light, covered, insulated cup from 20°C to 100°C in 4.00 m

inutes. The heater is a Nichrome resistance wire connected to a 120-V power supply. Assume the wire is at 100°C throughout the 4.00-min time interval. Specify a diameter and a length the wire can have. Can it be made from less than 0.5 cm3 of Nichrome?

The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 250 g of water from 20 to 100 degree Celsius is
Q = 250 (4.18) (100 - 20)
Q = 83600 J

The power delivered is
P = 83600 / (4(60))
P = 348.33 W

According to the data for a Nichrome wire, the wire gauge for power rating of 348.33 W and 120 V power supply is
23-27 AWG

A spherical balloon is deflating at 10 cm3/s. At what rate is the radius changing when the volume is 1000π cm3 ? What is the rat
just olya [345]

Answer:

1.dr/dt=0.0096cm/s

2. dA/dt=2.19cm^2/s

Explanation:

A spherical balloon is deflating at 10 cm3/s. At what rate is the radius changing when the volume is 1000π cm3 ? What is the rate of change of surface area at this moment?

for this question, we need to analyze the parameters we know

V=volume of the spherical balloon 1000π cm3

volume of the sphere=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

1000π=4/3πr^3

dividing both sides by 4

250*3=r^3

r=9.08cm, the radius of the balloon

dv/dt=dv/dr*dr/dt...................................1

dv/dr  ,means

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

dv/dr=4*pi*r^2

dv/dt=10 cm3/s

from equ 1

10=4*pi*9.08^2*dr/dt

10=1036 dr/dt

dr/dt=10/1036

dr/dt=0.0096cm/s

2. to find the rate at which the area is changing we have,

dA/dt=dA/dr*dr/dt

area of a sphere is  4πr^2

differentiate a with respect to r, radius

dA/dr=8πr

dA/dt=8πr*0.0096

dA/dt=8*pi*9.08*0.0096

dA/dt=2.19cm^2/s

is the rate of change of the surface area

scientific endeavor is a purely positive action that does not sometimes cause potentially harmful results.
Naya [18.7K]
I think that the question is simply asking whether the statement is correct.

The statement is wrong! The scientific endeavor (the work of the scientists, the pursue of knowledge) can be potentially harmful. For example, many tests of human medicine have to be performed on animals, and often the medicine causes great suffering in the animals (and gets rejected for testing on humans).

Ann is driving down a street at 64 km/h.
aksik [14]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

First, convert km/h to m/s:

64 km/h × (1000 m / km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 17.8 m/s

Distance = rate × time

d = 17.8 m/s × 0.761 s

d = 13.5 m
