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

Light of wavelength 623.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 76.5 cm from the slit.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 623 x 10⁻⁹ m .

Distance of screen D = 76.5 x 10⁻² m

width of slit        =      d

Distance on the screen between the second order minimum and the central maximum       =  2  λ D / d

1.11 x 10⁻²  = (2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻² )/ d

d =  ( 2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻²) / 1.11 x 10⁻²

= 85872.97 x  10⁻⁹

=  85.87297 x  10⁻⁶

= 85.87 μm

width a of the slit is = 85.87 μm

Answer:

Potential

Explanation:

The water in the bathtub has more potential energy than that in the tea cup because it has a greater number of water molecules.

Mass is a parameter that is very instrumental in determining potential energy.

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of that body.

   Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Water in the tub will have more mass and contain a greater number of water molecules there in.

Since potential energy is directly proportional to mass, then, it will have a greater amount of potential energy.

How is light described?
Lelu [443]

Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.
