Answer:

Malthus objection was that the pressure of increasing population on the food supply would destroy perfection and there would be misery in the world.

Malthus was severely criticized for his pessimistic views,which led him to travel to the continent of europe to gather data in support of his thesis

in a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 mm between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/hkm/h and

Ronch [10]

The acceleration of the car is 0.8049 $m/s^{2}$ .It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates:

(i) It follows that the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and

(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.

Calculations:

40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s

80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s

$v^{2} -u^{2} =2as\\22.22^{2} - 11.11^{2} = 2 x a x 230\\ 370.296=460a\\ a= 0.8049m/s^{2} \\$

Time taken

v-u=at

22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t

t=13.802s

An object 82 cm high forms a virtual image 4.1 cm high located 4.6 cm behind a mirror. Find the object distance.

ioda

Answer:

The object distance is 92 cm.

Explanation:

let v be the image distance and h be the height of the image, let u the be the object distance and H be the height of the object.

then, the magification of the mirror is given by:

m = -v/u and m = h/H

so, -v/u = h/H

u = -v×H/h

= -(-4.6)×(82)/(4.1)

= 92 cm

Therefore, the object distance is 92 cm.

An electric heater used to boil small amounts of water consists of a 15-Ω coil that is immersed directly in the water. It operat

Allisa [31]

Answer:

t = 1120 seconds

Explanation:

Law of Conservation of Energy: It states that energy can neither be created or destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another

The heater converts electric energy to heat energy.

According to the law of conservation of Energy,

Heat supplied by the heater = heat gained by the water.

Heat supplied by the heater = (V²/R)t, Where V = voltage, R = Resistance, t = Time.

Heat gained by the water = cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, θ₂= final temperature of water, θ₁= initial temperature of water.

∴ (V²/R)t = cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Making t the subject of the equation,

t = cm(θ₂ -θ₁) ×R/V²

Where c= 4200 Jkg/K, m=0.80 kg, R = 15 Ω, V = 60 V, θ₁= 20°C, θ₂ = the normal boiling point of water = 100°C

∴ t = (4200×0.8)(100 -20)×15/60²

t = (3360×80×15)/3600

t = 4032000/3600 = 1120 seconds

∴ The time required by the heater to raise the temperature of water to normal boiling point is 1120 seconds.
