The California current is an ocean current that moves cold water from the north along the west coast of the United States. The main effect of this current is to make the climate of the west coast cooler.

<span>The movement of Alaskan and northern water currents southward down the west coast results in much cooler ocean temperatures than at comparable latitudes on the east coast of the United States, where waters currents come from the Caribbean and Tropical Atlantic.</span>

It takes 52,000 Joules to heat a cup of coffee to boiling from room temperature. How long a piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil wo
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m, is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Heat Energy = 52000 J

Dielectric Constant of the plastic Bag = 3.7 = K

Thickness = 2.6 x 10^{5} m =d

V = 610 volts

A = width x Length

width = 20 cm = 20 x 10^{-2} m

Length = ?

So,

we know that,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}

U = 52000 J

C = ?

V = 610 volts'

So,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}  

52000 J = (0.5) x (C) x (610^{2})

C = 0.28 F

And we also know that,

C = \frac{K*E*A}{d}

E = 8.85 x 10 ^{-12}

K = 3.7

A = 0.20 x L

d = 2.6 x 10^{5} m

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

0.28 = \frac{3.7 * 8.85 .10^{-12} * (0.20 . L) }{2.6 . 10^{5} }

Solving for L, we get:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m,

is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?
arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation:  Speed = wavelengt · frequency  

v = λf   and frequency is 1/period  f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s

What is a characteristic of a gas?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Gases have three characteristic properties: 1. they are easy to compress, 2. they expand to fill their containers, and 3.they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. Compressibility. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
