Imagine we cook an egg by immersing it into water which is boiled by an electric heater. The heater utilizes a current I =10 A a

t a voltage V = 120 volts for a time t = 120 s lf the change in energy of the newly-cooked egg over its raw torm is given by ΔEngg = 28.8 kJ, what is the amount of energy wasted in the process?

Answer:

Q' = 115.2 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Current I = 10 A

Voltage = 120 V

Time t= 120 s

The energy supplied Q= V I t

Q= 10 x 120 x 120 J

Q= 144 x 1000 J

Q= 144 KJ

The change in the energy ΔEngg = 28.8 kJ

By using energy conservation

Q= Q' +  ΔEngg

Q'=Wasted energy

Now by putting the values in the above equation

144 = Q' + 28.8 KJ

Q' = 115.2 KJ

Therefore the waste energy will be 115 kJ.

You find it takes 200 J of heat to take 4 kg of an unknown substance from 200 K to 240 K. It does not change phases during this
klasskru [66]

Answer:

300 K

Explanation:

First, we have find the specific heat capacity of the unknown substance.

The heat gained by the substance is given by the formula:

H = m*c*(T2 - T1)

Where m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat capacity

T2 = final temperature

T1 = initial temperature

From the question:

H = 200J

m = 4 kg

T1 = 200K

T2 = 240 K

Therefore:

200 = 4 * c * (240 - 200)

200 = 4 * c * 40

200 = 160 * c

c = 200/160

c = 1.25 J/kgK

The heat capacity of the substance is 1.25 J/kgK.

If 300 J of heat is added, the new heat becomes 500 J.

Hence, we need to find the final temperature, T2, when heat is 500 J.

Using the same formula:

500 = 4 * 1.25 * (T2 - 200)

500 = 5 * (T2 - 200)

100 = T2 - 200

=> T2 = 100 + 200 = 300 K

The new final temperature of the unknown substance is 300K.

Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, t
user100 [1]

Answer:

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this diffraction problem they tell us that it is equivalent to the diffraction of a single slit, which is explained by the equation

<h3>       a sin θ =±  m λ </h3><h3 />

Where the different temrs are: “a” the width of the hair, λ the wavelength, θ the angle from the center, m the order of diffraction, which is the number of bright rings (constructive diffraction)  

We can see that the diffraction angle is missing, but we can find it by trigonometry, where L is the distance of the strand of hair to the observation screen and "y" is the perpendicular distance to the first minimum of intensity

        L = 1.25 m 100 cm/1m   = 125 cm

       y = 5.06 cm  

      Tan θ = y/L

      Tan θ = 5.06/125

      θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.0405)

      θ =  2.32º

With this data we can continue analyzing the problem, they indicate that they measure the distance to the first dark strip, thus m = 1

     a = m λ / sin θ

     a = 1 633 10⁻⁹ 1.25/sin 2.3

     a = 1.96 10⁻⁵ m  

     a = 0.0196 mm

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done<br><br> Why :​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.

How does the loneliest whale relate to physics/waves.
Lelechka [254]
Answer: the loneliest whale relates to the communication that whales give to each other

Explanation: whales have different forms of communication , and the ‘loneliest’ whale can’t get any company by the other whales.


In other words: it may be a new and different way whales communicate, nobody knows much about the loneliest whale. It may be forming a new kind of communication

A football kick returner catches the ball just as a player from the opposing team dives to tackle him. At the time of impact, th
pochemuha

The total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Initial momentum of the returner, </em>P_i_1<em> = 0 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>The initial momentum of the diving player, </em>P_i_2<em> = 130 kgm/s</em>

The total momentum of the players after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

P_f = P_i_1 + P_i_2\\\\P_f = 0 + 130\\\\P_f = 130 \ kgm/s

Thus, the total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.
