What has more thermal energy? A giant, frozen iceberg or a swimming pool filled with boiling water? Explain.​

Physics
1 answer:
padilas [110]3 years ago
5 0

Boiling water has a lot more heat than the oven's air (even though the air has a higher temperature). ... A match has a greater temperature than the iceberg because the average molecule in the match is moving faster than the average molecule in the iceberg

When stated as a percentage, the useful energy transferred by a device divided by the total energy supplied to the device is kno
Verdich [7]

Efficiency

Explanation:

Efficiency is a ratio/percentage that is useful in comparing the energy transferred by a device to the total energy supplied to it.

  Percentage efficiency = \frac{energy input}{total energy supplied} x 100

  • As with most system, none is 100% efficient.
  • During energy is transferred some are lost and only a little portion is used in doing actual work by the machine.
  • This validates the third law of thermodynamics which proposes that no system is 100% efficient.
  • A 100% efficiency implies total energy input is used doing all the work.
  • This is impossible. The bulk of the energy goes into heating the system.

Three light bulbs are connected to a 9V battery in a series circuit. If
nadya68 [22]
If each lightbulb is identical they should have approximately the same resistance therefore the voltage would be split equally so the Voltage over each light bulb would be 3V.

On Earth, the number flux of solar neutrinos from the p-p chain is:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of the tank = 50 kton

50 kton = 5 × 10⁷ kg

Since 18 grams of water will contain: 10 electrons × 6.023 × 10²³

Then;

5× 10⁷ kg will contain ( \dfrac{5 \times 10^7 \times 10^3}{18}) \times 10 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}

= 1.67 × 10³⁴ electrons

(b)

Suppose:

f_{neutrino} = \dfrac{2f_o}{26.2 MeV} = 6.7\times 10^{10} \ s^{-1} cm^{-2}

Then;

10⁻⁶ of f_{neutrino} = 6.7 \times 10^{10} \times 10^{-6} \ s^{-1} cm^{-2}

=6.7 \times 10^{4}\ s^{-1} cm^{-2}

Thus, the number of high energy neutrinos which will interact with water is:

= 6.7 \times 10^4 \times \sigma

= 6.7 \times 10^4  \times 10^{-43}

= 6.7 \times 10^{-39} s^{-1}

For  1.67 × 10³⁴ electrons, the detection rate is:

6.7 \times 10^{-39}  \times 1.67 \times 10^{34}

= 11.19 \times 10^{-5} \ s^{-1}

= 9.668 per day

What is the function of concrete shielding in a nuclear reactor?*
Reptile [31]

The function of concrete shielding in a nuclear reactor is: <u>to contain radiation.</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

The reactor core in the nuclear reactor is placed in a steel pressure vessel. The steel vessel is then shielded by a thick layer of concrete. The concrete shielding is done to protect the workers from radiation.

The nuclear power station must be built on hard solid rock as the reactor is heavy in structure. The radiation emitted from the reactor may harm the human being. To avoid this, the concrete shield is made to prevent the emission of radiation.
