Answer:

During a recent congressional hearing, Rick Perry, the US energy secretary, remarked that “to stand up and say that 100% of global warming is because of human activity, I think on its face, is just indefensible”.

16. The energy absorbed in 10minutes by an electrical heater is 1.5 MJ. The supply voltage is 240 V. calculate: a) The current d

dsp73

Answer:

If by 1.5 MJ you mean 1.5E6 Joules then

W = P t = power X time

W / t = P power

P = 1.5E6 J / 600 sec = 2500 J / s

P = I V

a) I = 2500 J/s / (240 J/c) = 10.4 C / sec = 10.4 amps

b) Q = I t = 10.4 C / sec * 300 sec = 3120 Coulombs

c) E = P * t = 2500 J / sec * 100 hr * 3600 sec / hr = 9.0E8 Joules

The speed of the center of the earth as it orbits the sun is 107257 kmph and the absolute angular velocity of the earth about it

Sindrei [870]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Speed , $v_0$ =107257 kmph

Angular velocity, $\omega=7.292\times 10^{-5} rad/s$

Radius of earth,r= $6371 km=6371000 m$

1 km=1000 m

Linear velocity, $v=r\omega=6371000\times 7.292\times 10^{-5}=464.57 m/s$

Linear velocity, $v=464.57\times \frac{18}{5}=1672.46 km/h$

Velocity at point A, $v_A=-vi+v_0 j=-1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point B, $v_B=v_0j-vj=107257j-1672.46j=105584.54j kmph$

Velocity at point C, $v_C=v_0j+vi=1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point D, $v_D=v_0j+vj=107257j+1672.46j=108929.46jkmph$

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the

cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}$
