Answer:

The resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

Explanation:

let L be the length of the cable, A be the cross-sectional area of the cable and   r be the resistivity of the copper.

then, the resistance of the cable is given by:

R = r×L/A

  = (3×10^-8)×(5000×10^3)/(7×π((0.85×10^-3)/2)^2)

  = 37762.91 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

A 3.00 x 10^2-W electric immersion heater is
andre [41]

Answer

t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Heat\ Supplied\ By \ Heater = Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Glass + Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Water\\Pt = m_gC_g\Delta T_g + m_wC_w\Delta T_w\\

where,

P = Electric Power of Heater =  300 W

t = time required = ?

m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg

m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg

C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C

C_w =  specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C

Therefore,

(300\ W)(t) = (0.3\ kg)(840\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)+(0.25\ kg)(4184\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)\\

<u>t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min</u>

A pair of adult nitwits sit balanced on a teeter totter type device. One of them, whose mass is 54.2 kg, is 1.20 m from the poin
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The mass of the second person is 28.91 kg

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first adult, m₁ = 54.2 kg

distance of the first adult from the point of balance, x = 1.20 m

mass of the second adult, = m₂

distance of the second adult from the point of balance, y = 2.25 m

Taking moment about the point of balance, we will have

m₁x = m₂y

54.2 x 1.2 = 2.25y

2.25y = 65.04

y = 65.04/2.25

y = 28.91 kg

Therefore, the mass of the second person is 28.91 kg

How to know if a position time graph table is balanced or unbalanced
Goshia [24]

When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

An electric toaster has a power rating of 1100 W at 110 V. What is the resistance of the heating coil?
Semmy [17]

 R = 11 ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of the electric toaster = 1100W

Voltage = 110V

Unknown:

Resistance, R of the heating coli = ?

Solution:

Electric power is given as:

     Electric power = IV

where:

  I is the current

  V is the voltage

       According to Ohm's law, V = IR

 where R is the resistance. If we make current the subject of the formula and substitute, it gives:

                  Power = \frac{[tex]V^{2}}{R}[/tex]

  Power =  \frac{[tex]110^{2}}{R}[/tex]

     R = \frac{Power }{[tex]110^{2}}[/tex] =  \frac{1100 }{[tex]110^{2}}[/tex]

   R = 11 ohms
