A 0.25-kg coffee mug is made from a material that has a specific heat capacity of 950 J/(kg · C°) and contains 0.30 kg of water.

The cup and water are at 25° C. To make a cup of coffee, a small electric heater is immersed in the water and brings it to a boil in two minutes. Assume that the cup and water always have the same temperature and determine the minimum power rating of this heater.

Answer:

The minimum power neccesary is:

$P=932,4 W$

Explanation:

The water is bring to a boil so it goes from 25°C to 100°C, the temperature rise si:

$dT=100°C-25°C=75°C$

Considering that the cup is always at the same temperatura as the water the trasfered energy can be calculated as:

$Q=(m_{mug}*C_{p-mug}+m_{water}*C_{p-water})*dT$

We have that: $m_{mug}=0,25kg, C_{p-mug}=950 J/(kg.°C), m_{water}=0,30kg, C_{p-water}=4180 J/(kg.°C) (considering it constant)$

So:

$Q=(0,25kg*950 J/(kg.°C)+0,30kg*4181 J/(kg.°C))*75°C$

$Q=1491,8J/°C*75°C=111885 J$

Given that this energy was supplied in 2 minutes:

$t=2 min=120 sec$

The minimum power neccesary is:

$P=\frac{Q}{t}=932,4 W$

Assume that the home construction industry is perfectly competitive and in long-run competitive equilibrium. It follows that: A.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. Marginal cost equals long-run average total cost.

Explanation:

The zero profit condition implies that entry continues until all firms are producing at minimum long run average total cost. Since the marginal cost curve cuts the long run average total cost curve at its minimum point, marginal cost and long run average total cost must be equal in long run equilibrium.

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) $n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) $n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) $v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) $v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, $n_{1} = 1.47$

Angle of refraction for medium 1, $\theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction for medium 2, $\theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

$n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

where

$n_{2}$ = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

$n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

$n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}$

$n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

$Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}$

Thus for medium 1

$n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}$

$v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

$n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}$

$v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Two ice skaters stand in the middle of an ice rink. Drew has a mass of 75 kg, and Lily has a mass of 55 kg. Drew holds Lily, and

ss7ja [257]

PART a)

Before Drew throw Lily in forwards direction they both stays at rest

So initial speed of both of them is zero

So here we can say that initial momentum of both of them is zero

So total momentum of the system initially = ZERO

PART b)

Since there is no external force on the system of two

so there will be no change in the momentum of this system and it will remain same as initial momentum

So final momentum of both of them will be ZERO

PART c)

As we know that momentum of both will be zero always

so we have

$P_1 + P_2 = 0$

$75(v) + 55(2) = 0$

$v = 1.47 m/s$ in opposite direction
