Answer:

(a) 43.2 kC

(b) 0.012V kWh

(c) 0.108V cents

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • i = current flow = 3 A
  • t = time interval for which the current flow = 4\ h = 4\times 3600\ s = 14400\ s
  • V = terminal voltage of the battery
  • R = rate of energy = 9 cents/kWh

<u>Assume:</u>

  • Q = charge transported as a result of charging
  • E = energy expended
  • C = cost of charging

Part (a):

We know that the charge flow rate is the electric current flow through a wire.

\therefore i = \dfrac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow Q =it\\\Rightarrow Q = 3\times 14400\\\Rightarrow Q = 43200\ C\\\Rightarrow Q = 43.200\ kC\\

Hence, 43.2 kC of charge is transported as a result of charging.

Part (b):

We know the electrical energy dissipated due to current flow across a voltage drop for a time interval is given by:

E = Vit\\\Rightarrow E = V\times 3\times 4\\\Rightarrow E = 12V\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E = 0.012V\ kWh\\

Hence, 0.012V kWh is expended in charging the battery.

Part (c):

We know that the energy cost is equal to the product of energy expended and the rate of energy.

\therefore \textrm{Cost}=\textrm{Energy}\times \textrm{Rate}\\\Rightarrow C = ER\\\Rightarrow C = 0.012V\times 9\\\Rightarrow C =0.108V\ cents

Hence, 0.108V cents is the charging cost of the battery.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

An aaditional factor in how an element is rendered is that properties are passed from a parent element to its children in a process known as <u>Style inherritance.</u>

Explanation:

In cascading style sheets (CSS) properties can be inherited from parent to children. But it does not do it all the time as in some cases it does not make sense. Through style inherritance one can specify the font properties etc which then will be transferred to all other elements.

Suppose the block is released from rest with the spring compressed 5.00 cm. The mass of the block is 1.70 kg and the force const
IRISSAK [1]

First, let's calculate the total mechanical energy when the block is at rest and the spring is compressed 5 cm:

\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ ME=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ ME=\frac{955\cdot0.05^2}{2}+0\\ \\ ME=1.194\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Now, let's use this total energy to calculate the velocity when the spring is compressed by 2.5 cm:

\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ 1.194=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ 2.388=955\cdot0.025^2+1.7v^2\\ \\ 1.7v^2=2.388-0.597\\ \\ 1.7v^2=1.791\\ \\ v^2=\frac{1.791}{1.7}\\ \\ v^2=1.0535\\ \\ v=1.026\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Therefore the speed is 1.026 m/s.

The object is called a meteor because it is producing Streak of light  and has not yet struck earth.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A meteoroid is a celestial object which is very smaller than an asteroid. These objects are produced as a collision impact from mars or moon and float freely in space without any specific orbit. When they come inside the Earth's gravitational field, they are attracted by the Earth's gravity to Earth's crust. These objects in Earth's atmosphere are called meteors. As they travel through Earth's atmosphere, they do face a huge friction from Earth's atmosphere which let them burn and that is visible as the tail of the meteor.

Most of them are so small that they are burnt away in the atmosphere. But some are bigger and they reach the Earth's surface and are called as meteorites.

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.
