How much energy does a pair of 800w hair straighteners transfer every second?

Answer: 800 J

Explanation:

Power is the rate between the energy transferred (E) and the time taken (t):

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

In this problem, the hair straightener has a power of P = 800 W. therefore, the energy transferred in t = 1 second is

$E=Pt=(800 W)(1 s)=800 J$

Power is a measure of the rate of energy or work done on a system. It has units of energy per time. In SI, Joules per second and is equal to the units of Watts. So, for an 800 Watts hair straightener, the energy transfer per second would be 800 Joules.

The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (A). Now, assume that the current delivered at a wall socket reaches the

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

T = 0.017s

Explanation:

period is the time it takes a particle to make one oscillation

An electric current is periodic in nature

The current reaches 3.8A ten times.

So there must have been 10 cycles (10 periods) in 0.17s. let 'T' be the period:

$T=\frac{t}{n}$

t is the total time interval

n is the number of oscillations

$T=\frac{0.17}{10}$

10T = 0.17

T = 0.17/10 = 0.017s

Larger animals use proportionately less energy than smaller animals; that is, it takes less energy per kg to power an elephant t

marin [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$Q = 952 cal/day$

Part b)

$P = 46 Watt$

Part c)

$\Delta P = 54 W$

Explanation:

As we know that 5000 kg African elephant requires 70,000 Cal for basic needs per day

so we will have

$m = 5000 kg$

$Q = 70,000 Cal$

so we have energy required per kg

$E = \frac{70,000}{5000}$

$E = 14 cal/kg$

Part a)

now we know that per kg the energy required will be same

so we have mass of the human is 68 kg

so energy required per day is given as

$Q = 68 \times 14$

$Q = 952 cal/day$

Part b)

Resting power is the rate of energy in Joule required per sec

so it is given as

$P = \frac{952 \times 4186}{24\times 3600}$

$P = 46 Watt$

Part c)

resting power given in the book is

$P' = 100 W$

so this is less than the power given

$\Delta P = 100 - 46$

$\Delta P = 54 W$

A car accelerates from rest to a velocity of 5 meters/second in 4 seconds. What is its average acceleration over this period of

disa [49]

The average acceleration is

$\bar a=\dfrac{5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{4\,\mathrm s}=1.25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$
