<h2>ANSWER:-</h2>

The amount of heat (H) produced is given by the joule’s law of heating as H= Vlt

Where,

Current, I = 5 A

Time, t = 30 s

Voltage, V = Current x Resistance = 5 x 20 = 100V

H= 100 x 5 x 30 = 1.5 x 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the amount of heat developed in the electric iron is 1.5 x 10⁴J.

A solar eclipse will occur Group of answer choices

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

3. at new Moon only when the Moon is on the ecliptic.

Explanation:

Solar eclipse is the condition when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. In this condition the moon casts its shadow on the earth.

Whether the eclipse is a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on various factors, but the position of the moon must be on the same orbital plane as that of the earth's orbit around the sun.

The sun is about 400 times larger than the moon in size and the sun is almost 400 times farther from the earth than the moon is, this makes it possible for the moon to cover the sun completely leading to a complete solar eclipse.

As we know that the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical which leads to a variation in the distance from their rotating centers, so not of every eclipse the moon covers the sun completely developing an annular eclipse.

When the moon is close enough to the earth on the ecliptic but not completely aligned in between the sun and the earth leads to a partial solar eclipse.

A fixed electric space heater wired by a cable with an ampacity of 30 A should draw a maximum current of A. 30 A. B. 24 A. C. 15

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation

Ampacity is defined as the maximum amount of the current carried by the conductor continuously without exceeding its temperature rating.

The ampacity of the wire of the heater is 30 A .And this means that wire is capable of conducting current of maximum amount of 30 Ampere through it without exceeding its temperature rating.

Hence, the correct answer is option is (A).

Match the following:

joja [24]

Explanation:

1. study of conversion of heat to mechanics → thermodynamics

A branch of physical science which deals with heat and other forms of energy.

2. The Law of Conservation of Energy → first Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed. According to first law of thermodynamics total energy of the system is always constant.

3. Result of applied energy → work

Work is the way of system to release its energy.

4. Principle that states that in any energy transformation some energy is dissipated as heat → Second Law of Thermodynamics

5. energy of motion → kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its motion.

6. work/displacement → force

Work is product of force and displacement.

$Work=Force \times displacement$

$Force=\frac{Work}{displacement}$

7. power · time → energy

Power is defined energy per unit time.

$Power=\frac{Energy}{Time}$

$Energy=Power\times Time$

8. Device that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy → heat engine

heat engine is a device which converts the heat energy which is released due to combustion of fuel into a useful work that is mechanical energy.

9 . Energy due to position → potential energy

Potential energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its position.

10. efficiency of a heat engine unit of heat → calorie

11. Measure of molecular motion → Temperature

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

Greater the motion more will be the kinetic energy and with more will be the temperature.

12. Heat given off by a liquid with no change in temperature → latent heat of fusion

Latent heat of fusion is defined as heat released by 1 mole of substance when it under goes phase change that is from solid to liquid.

13. Motion within solids → vibrational motion

Vibrational motion is the motion in which particle oscillates from its mean position.

14. Phase of matter on the sun → plasma

Plasma is hot ionized gas with equal number of positive and negative ions. Due to high temperature of sun most the gas are in the plasma state.
