How does visible Light travel through outer space?

1 answer:

7 0

By the electromagnetic "vibrations" that make up light. Said EM vibrations are an electric field and a magnetic field at right angles to each other and to the direction of propagation/travel. Light travels by the same "mechanism" that X rays travel, radio waves travel and anything else in the vast electromagnetic spectrum. Probably how I'm able to type these words on a computer key board and have them transmitted "Wi Fi" like, to you, the hapless recipient. You're a Cheetah ??? That means you can run like the wind ????

(a) What is the cost of heating a hot tub containing 1440 kg of water from 10.0°C to 40.0°C, assuming 75.0% efficiency to take h

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

a) $E = 6.024\,USD$ , For m kilograms, it is 4184m J., 3600000 joules, b) $i = 88.200\,A$

Explanation:

a) The amount of heat needed to warm water is given by the following expression:

$Q_{needed} = m_{w}\cdot c_{w}\cdot (T_{f}-T_{i})$

Where:

$m_{w}$ - Mass of water, measured in kilograms.

$c_{w}$ - Specific heat of water, measured in $\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ .

$T_{f}$ , $T_{i}$ - Initial and final temperatures, measured in $^{\circ}C$ .

Then,

$Q_{needed} = (1440\,kg)\cdot \left(4184\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (40^{\circ}C - 10^{\circ}C)$

$Q_{needed} = 180748800\,J$

The energy needed in kilowatt-hours is:

$Q_{needed} = 180748800\,J\times \left(\frac{1}{3600000}\,\frac{kWh}{J} \right)$

$Q_{needed} = 50.208\,kWh$

The electric energy required to heat up the water is:

$E = \frac{50.208\,kWh}{0.75}$

$E = 66.944\,kWh$

Lastly, the cost of heating a hot tub is: (USD - US dollars)

$E = (66.944\,kWh)\cdot \left(0.09\,\frac{USD}{kWh} \right)$

$E = 6.024\,USD$

The heat needed to raise the temperature a degree of a kilogram of water is 4184 J. For m kilograms, it is 4184m J. Besides, a kilowatt-hour is equal to 3600000 joules.

b) The current required for the electric heater is:

$i = \frac{Q_{needed}}{\eta \cdot \Delta V \cdot \Delta t}$

$i = \frac{180748800\,J}{0.75\cdot (220\,V)\cdot (3.45\,h)\cdot \left(3600\,\frac{s}{h} \right)}$

$i = 88.200\,A$

The independent variable is

Katarina [22]

Answer:

An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.

Explanation:

someone's age might be an independent variable.

What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2?

anastassius [24]

Answer: There is two (PO4) in the formula

Explanation:

Just be aware of the difference between numbers to the right and left: 5Mg3 means there are a total of 5 Mg (if 3 is a number in the bottom left) the 3 in (PO4) means there are 3 PO4 but because of the 2 it could mean there are 6.

Depends if the elements are separated

When a ray is incident upon a plane mirror as shown in the diagram, what is the angle of refraction?

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

0 degrees

Explanation:

this is because when the light ray hits a surface a medium at 90 degrees then the angle of incidence = 0 , thus light doesn't bend when it enters the medium, no bending means angle of refraction is 0 degrees

hope this helps ,please mark it

A car traveling with constant speed travels 150 km in 7200s what is the speed of the car

Oksana_A [137]

Velocity is distance/time

so 150/7200=.0208km/s

unless you have to convert it to miles or something else. but use the formula!
