1 Watt = 1 joule/second

650 watts = 650 joules/second

(650 J/sec) x (3,600 seconds/1 hour)  =  <em>2,340,000 Joules/hour</em>

Answer:

C) 2,300,000 J

Explanation:

A 120 volt refrigerator uses 650 watts. Calculate how much work is done by the refrigerator in one hour.

A) 9.7 J

B) 39,000 J

C) 2,300,000 J

D) 4,100,000 J

power is the rate at which work is done by a machine.

work done is the product of force and distance,

it is also when energy is expended by a machine

energy can be dissipated by the refrigerator in form of heat

power=650W

time=3600 secs

work done will be 650*3600

2340000.

approximately 2300000J

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1) not so long (maybe an hour or two)

2) access to information through the internet will be most affected if my computer and mobile phone run out of battery power.

3) yes, one should prepare for power outage. This can be done by having a standby alternative source of power like the use of inverters that stores electrical energy in form of chemical energy, and small internal combustion engine powered electric generators.

4) solar panels can be used to draw power from incident sun rays, this power can be stored in an inverter for future use in case of a power outage.

5) energy from the sun is converted into direct current which is then supplied to an accumulator in the opposite direction to its flow of current. When the energy is needed, it can be used directly, or converted to an alternating current. This is achieved by connecting its terminal to the supply. Electric field is generated by flow of ions and electrons within the working chemical (e.g lithium).

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.

Harry Potter is chasing his nemesis Draco Malfoy during a quidditch match. Initially, Harry is 35m behind Draco, who has just sp
Sophie [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

harry is 35 m behind Draco

speed of Draco = 40 m/s

original speed of harry = 50 m/s

acceleration = ?

time taken by the Draco

    t =\dfrac{r}{u} =\dfrac{75}{40}

     t = 1.875 s

distance covered by Harry

  d = 35 + 175 = 210 m

to calculate the acceleration of harry

s = u t+ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

210 = 50\times 1.875+ \dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.875^2

a × 3.516 × 0.5 = 116.25

a = 66.126 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree
lina2011 [118]
A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
 T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
   = 6.28 × √0.0673
    = 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
 thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b)  The vertical distance, the height is given by
 h= 0.66 cos 12
 h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
 mgh = 1/2mv²
  v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01 
                   = 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
   = 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
   = 0.0304 J
