Why does a lead of a pencil becomes smaller after use brainly people plplplsss help

1 answer:

6 0

Pencil lead is made up of graphite. These graphite particles stick to the fiber in the paper when you write. So what happens is it transfers from the pencil to the paper. When you write you're literally rubbing the graphite off the pencil.

I hope this explanation will help you out.

A star produces 2x10^26 watts. how much energy does it lose every minutes

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Energy loss per minute will be $120\times 10^{26}j$

Explanation:

We have given the star produces power of $2\times 10^{26}W$

We know that 1 W = 1 J/sec

So $2\times 10^{26}W=2\times 10^{26}J/sec$

Given time = 1 minute = 60 sec

So the energy loss per minute $=2\times 10^{26}\times 60=120\times 10^{26}j$

We multiply with 60 we have to calculate energy loss per minute

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

andrew-mc [135]

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- <u>For the toaster:</u>

Power = 1.4 kW = 1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s) = 453,600 Joules

-- <u>For the CFL bulb:</u>

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s) = 415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.

At a distance of 11 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 65 cps (cps = counts per seco

Alborosie

To solve the problem, it is necessary the concepts related to the definition of area in a sphere, and the proportionality of the counts per second between the two distances.

The area with a certain radius and the number of counts per second is proportional to another with a greater or lesser radius, in other words,

$A_1*m=M*A_2$
