As the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, if u add more heat you get more kinetic energy.

When a person jumps from tree to ground, what happens to the momentum of the person upon striking the ground? ...?
Ludmilka [50]
When a person jumps from a tree to ground, what happens to the momentum of the person upon striking the ground is that it is transferred to earth. The momentum is not lost, it is conserved by being transferred to the ground. But it can also be lost to the impulse.

In a domestic electric circuit (220.V),an electric kettle of 3kW power rating is operatedthat has a current rating of 4A. What r
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(i) It will take longer (75/22 times) the time to boil a given quantity of water compared to when the current is working at its rated capacity

(ii) The reasons are;

(1) For economy; most of the appliances in the home only require low power circuitry with thinner wire while a separate high power circuitry is created directly from the main supply for the high electric power rated appliances

(2) For safety; to prevent the over heating of the electric circuits when an high electric power appliance needs to be connected an high power electric power outlet has to be specified

Explanation:

(i) The power rating of the kettle = 3 kW

The voltage rating of the circuit, V = 220 V

The current rating, I = 4 A

The formula for electric power = I² × R = I × V

Therefore, we have;

Power produced = 220 V × 4 A = 880 V·A = 800 W

Hence, since the power produced is below the power rating of the electric kettle, it will take a longer time to boil a given amount of water than specified by the kettle manufacturer

The energy supplied H = V×I×t

Where:

t = Time in seconds

Therefore, we have;

3 kW = 3000 W;

3000 × t₁ = 880 × t₂

t₂/t₁ =3000/880 = 75/22

Hence the kettle will take 75/22 multiplied by the time it takes when working at rating capacity to boil a given quantity of water

(ii) This is so because the power consumption already factored in the electrical installation as well as the type of appliances utilized in the home allow for several low power rating consumption and few high power rating consumption

Therefore, for both economy and safety the electrical circuit are split to allow for the use of very thick copper or aluminium electric cables in the high power rating electric circuits to which can be plugged high electric power consuming devices such as the water heater and electric cooker

The low electric power consuming devices, such as the electric bulb and fans are connected to the low or "regular" power rating electric circuit outlets

The current required for high power and low power appliances is different and also the fuse rating required for both the appliances different, so two separate circuits are used for high power and low power appliances.

A 2.0 kg block is released from rest at the top of a curved incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R = 3.0 m. T
Zigmanuir [339]

The block has maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the curved incline. Since its radius is 3.0 m, this is also the block's starting height. Find the block's potential energy <em>PE</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>m g h</em>

<em>PE</em> = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)

<em>PE</em> = 58.8 J

Energy is conserved throughout the block's descent, so that <em>PE</em> at the top of the curve is equal to kinetic energy <em>KE</em> at the bottom. Solve for the velocity <em>v</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>KE</em>

58.8 J = 1/2 <em>m v</em> ²

117.6 J = (2.0 kg) <em>v</em> ²

<em>v</em> = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))

<em>v</em> ≈ 7.668 m/s ≈ 7.7 m/s

A quantum system has three energy levels, so three wavelengths appear in its emission spectrum. the shortest observed wavelength
daser333 [38]
The wavelength emitted is indirectly proportional to the difference in the change in the energy level. For the wavelength 278 nm the change in energy level is significantly high. Further change in energy level is indicated by 454nm light but the difference in energy level for this wavelength to be emitted  is not greater than the previous one. There is a possibility that these subsystems have now very low energy which should result in wavelengths ranging from 700 to 900 nm. There is another possibility that there is some metastable subsystems in the system which may cause LASER emission.
