How is energy measured?​

Physics
1 answer:
stepladder [879]2 years ago
5 0

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W

The gnaphosid spider Drassodes cupreus has evolved a pair of lensless eyes for detecting polarized light. Each eye is sensitive
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part A

The intensity is  I = 618 W/m^2  

Part B

The intensity is  I_1= 81.884 W/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The intensity of the light detected by first eye is I = 700 W/m^2

Now at initial state according the question the light  ray is perpendicular to the eye so it means that it is at 90° the eye

Now the first question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first in this case is the one focused on the light  )would detect when the head is rotated by 20°  its previous orientation

This  is mathematically evaluated  as

                   I = I_i cos^2 ( 20^o)

                    I = 700\  cos^2 (20)

                    I = 618 W/m^2  

Now the second  question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first eye  in this case is the one that is not  focused on  the light  )would detect when the head is rotated by 20°  its previous orientation

Now in this case the angle between the eye and the light is 90-20 = 70°

           So

               I_1 = 700 \  cos^2 (70)

                   I_1= 81.884 W/m^2

A truck traveling at a velocity of 33m/s comes to a halt by decelerating at 11m/s^2. How far does the truck travel in the proces
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<u><em>The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds. </em></u>

  • <u><em>Initial velocity = 33 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Final velocity = 0 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2  m/s = 16.5 m/s</em></u>

Explanation:

  1. <u><em>First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?</em></u>
  1. <u><em>( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds</em></u>
  1. <u><em>Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.</em></u>
