The heater element of a particular 120-V toaster is a 8.9-m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.86 mm. The resistivity

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Power, P = 722.96 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage, V = 120 V

Length of nichrome wire, l = 8.9 m

Diameter of wire, d = 0.86 mm

Radius of wire, r = 0.43 mm = 0.00043 m

Resistivity of wire, $\rho=1.3\times 10^{-6}\ \Omega-m$

We need to find the power drawn by this heater. Power is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

And, $R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{V^2\times A}{\rho\times l}$

$P=\dfrac{120^2\times \pi (0.00043)^2}{1.3\times 10^{-6}\times 8.9}$

P = 722.96 watts

So, the power drawn by this heater element is 722.96 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two boxes on opposite ends of a massless board that is 3.0 m long. The board is supported in the middle by a fulcrum. The box on

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

b. 1.1 m

Explanation:

It is given that the total distance between the masses is equal to the length of the board, which is 3 m. Therefore,

$s_{1} + s_{2} = 3\ m\\\\s_{2} = 3\ m - s_{1}\ --------- eqn(1)$

where,

s₁ = distance of fulcrum from left mass

s₂ = distance of fulcrum from right mass

In order to achieve balance, the torque due to both masses must be equal:

$T_{1} = T_{2}\\m_{1}s_{1} = m_{2}s_{2}\\(25\ kg)(s_{1}) = (15\ kg)(s_{2})\\\\\frac{15\ kg}{25\ kg}(s_{2}) = s_{1}\\\\using\ eqn(1):\\(0.6)(3\ m - s_{1}) = s_{1}\\1.8\ m = 1.6\ s_{1}\\s_{1} = \frac{1.8\ m}{1.6}$

s₁ = 1.1 m

Hence, the correct option is:

b. 1.1 m

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?

SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = 4500 seconds (that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro

aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

$S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}$

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy $\Delta S_{hot}$ is smaller than $\Delta S_{cold}$

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object

PLEASE HELP !!!

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The answer is D) Alpha and Gamma

Gamma radiation does not cause transmutations.

A transmutation is the conversion of an atom of one element to an atom of another. This generally occurs through nuclear reacting.

There are three main types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Both beta and alpha decay cause changes to the mass and atomic numbers. This results in a transmutation. Gamma radiation, however, does not.

Gamma radiation is the result of a gamma ray. In essence, the nucleus emits a high-energy proton. This is very penetrating and can only be stopped by aluminum, lead, soil, water, and concrete. This type of radiation does not change the element and, therefore, does not cause a transmutation.
