A 460 W heating unit is designed to operate with an applied potential difference of 120 V (a) By what percentage will its heat o

utput drop if the applied potential difference drops to 110 V? Assume no change in resistance. %(b) If you took the variation of resistance with temperature into account, would the actual drop in heat output be larger or smaller than that calculated in (a)?

Answer:

(a) = -0.16%

(b) = smaller

Explanation:

given

power = 460 W

potential difference = 120 V

(a) what percentage will   its heat output drop if the applied potential difference drops to 110 V ?

we know p = \frac{v^2}{R} .....................(i)

we need to find change in power

\Delta P = \frac{\Delta (V^2)}{R}  

\Delta P = \frac{2 V \Delta V}{R}..............(ii)

from equations we get

\frac{\Delta P}{P} =  \frac{2 \Delta V}{V}

\frac{\Delta P}{P} = 2 \frac{110 -120}{120}

\frac{\Delta P}{P} =  -2(\frac{10}{120})

\frac{\Delta P}{P} = - 0.16 %

(b)

if we increase temperature resistance will increase and decrease with decrease in temperature and we know power is inversely proportional to resistance so if potential decrease and it would cause drop in power

and due to this increment of heating power resistance will decrease so actual drop in the power would  be smaller

A 730-keV gamma ray Compton-scatters from an electron. Find the energy of the photon scattered at 120°, the kinetic energy of th
romanna [79]

Answer:

Energy of scattered photon is 232.27 keV.

Kinetic energy of recoil electron is 497.73 keV.

The recoil angle of electron is 13.40°

Explanation:

The energy of scattered photon is given by the relation :

E_{2}=\frac{E_{1} }{1+(\frac{E_{1} }{m_{e}c^{2}  })(1-\cos\theta) }     .....(1)

Here E₁ is the energy of incident photon, E₂ is the energy of scattered photon, m_{e} is mass of electron and θ is scattered angle.

Substitute 730 keV for E₁, 511 keV for m_{e} and 120° for θ in equation (1).  

E_{2}=\frac{730 }{1+(\frac{730 }{511  })(1-\cos120) }

E₂ = 232.27 keV

Kinetic energy of recoil electron is given by the relation :

K.E. = E₁ - E₂ = (730 - 232.27 ) keV = 497.73 keV

The recoil angle of electron is given by :

\cot\phi=(1+\frac{E_{1} }{m_{e}c^{2}  })\tan\frac{\theta}{2}

Substitute the suitable values in above equation.

\cot\phi=(1+\frac{730 }{511  })\tan\frac{120}{2}

\cot\phi=4.20

\phi = 13.40°

How would you calculate the density of an object?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:The Density Calculator uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). The calculator can use any two of the values to calculate the third. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

In searching the bottom of a pool at night, a watchman shines a narrow beam of light from his flashlight, 1.3 m above the water
notsponge [240]

Answer:

4.4 m

Explanation:

We are told the light from his flashlight, 1.3 m above the water level. Thus; h1 = 1.3m

Also,we are told that the light shone 2.5 m from his foot at the edge of the pool. Thus, L1 = 2.5 m

Angle of incidence θ1 is given by;

tan θ1 = L1/h1

tan θ1 = 2.5/1.3

tan θ1 = 1.9231

θ1 = tan^(-1) 1.9231

θ1 = 62.53°

Using Snell's law, we can find the angle of refraction from;

Sin θ2 = (η_air/η_water) Sin θ1

Where;

η_air is Refractive index of air = 1

η_water is Refractive index of water = 1.33

Thus;

Sin θ2 = (1/1.33) × sin 62.53°

Sin θ2 = 0.6671

θ2 = sin^(-1) 0.6671

θ2 = 41.84°

We want to find where the spot of light hit the bottom of the pool if the pool is 2.1 m deep. Thus, h2 = 2.1 m

Now, the spot can be found from;

L = L1 + L2

Where L2 = (h2) tan θ2

L = 2.5 + 2.1 tan 48.84

L = 2.5 + (2.1 × 0.8954)

L ≈ 4.4 m
