Answer:

a) 390J

b) 322J

c) 68J

Explanation:

We need to calculate the power given by the battery. the power is given by:

P=V*I\\I=\frac{V}{R}\\I=\frac{4}{5.9+1.2}\\I=0.56A\\P=2.24W

Watts is J/s so:

E=P*t\\E=2.24\frac{J}{s}*2.9min*(60\frac{s}{min})=390J

The thermal energy in the wire is given by:

E_w=P_w*t\\P_w=I^2*R_w=0.56^2*5.9=1.85W\\E_w=1.85\frac{J}{s}*2.9min*(60\frac{s}{min})=322J

And the the dissipated thermal energy in the battery will be the remainig energy:

E_b=E-E_w\\E_b=390-322=68J

A train travels 90 kilometers in 1 hour, and then 82 kilometers in 5 hours. What is it’s average speed?
PIT_PIT [208]
Distance is 90km,time 1 hr
distance 2 is 82km,time 5 hrs
average speed=total distance travelled/total time taken.
90+82=172/5+1=6
average speed=28.7km over hour

Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?
AnnZ [28]

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while !  Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !

A quartz crystal vibrates with a frequency of 35,621 Hz. What is the period of the crystal's motion?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Period = 1 / frequency

Period = 1 / (35,621 /s)

Period = 2.8073... x 10⁻⁵ sec

Period = <em>28.07 microseconds</em>

or

Period = <em>0.0281 millisecond</em>
