Answer:

8 KW

Explanation:

Energy = 4 k J = 4000 J

t = 0.5 second

Power is defined as the rate of doing work.

Power = energy / time = 4000 / 0.5 = 8000 W = 8 KW

Power delivered = (energy delivered) / (time to deliver the energy)

Power delivered = (4,000 J) / (0.5 sec)

Power delivered = 8,000 watts

I'm a little surprised to learn that Electro draws his power from the mains. This is VERY good news for Spiderman ! It means that Spiderman can always avoid tangling with Electro ... all he has to do is stay farther away from Electro than the length of Electro's extension cord.

But OK. Let's assume that Electro draws it all from the mains. Then inevitably, there must be some loss in Electro's conversion process, between the outlet and his fingertips (or wherever he shoots his bolts from).

The efficiency of Electro's internal process is

(power he shoots out) / (power he draws from the mains) .

So, if he delivers energy toward his target at the rate of 8,000 watts, he must draw power from the mains at the rate of

(8,000 watts) / (his internal efficiency) .

A solid object has a mass of 104 kg and a volume of 1,278 m3. What is its density?

MrMuchimi

The density is 81.4 g/m3. Before you start plugging numbers into the density formula (D=M/V), you should convert 104 kg to grams, which ends up being 104,000 grams. Then you can plug in the 104,000 grams and 1,278 m3 into the formula. When you divide the mass by the volume, you get a really long decimal, which you can round to 81.4 g/m3, or whatever place your teacher wants you to round to.

Wood has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy when burned in a fireplace. Which best explai

Marianna [84]

Answer:In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.

_______ is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass. a. magnetism b. gravity c. weight d. deposition

ICE Princess25 [194]

The question is asking us to fill in the gap in: (gap) is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass.The correct answer is b. gravity. People don't know that gravity works both ways: both objects atract each. The reason why we're more attracted to Earth than Earth is pulled to us is that Earth has a much higher mass - the bigger the mass, the stronger the atraction

Blue light of wavelength λ passes through a single slit of width d and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. If we replace th

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

We can retain the original diffraction pattern if we change the slit width to d) 2d.

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern of a single slit has a bright central maximum and dimmer maxima on either side. We will retain the original diffraction pattern on a screen if the relative spacing of the minimum or maximum of intensity remains the same when changing the wavelength and the slit width simultaneously.

Using the following parameters: y for the distance from the center of the bright maximum to a place of minimum intensity, m for the order of the minimum, λ for the wavelength, D for the distance from the slit to the screen where we see the pattern and d for the slit width. The distance from the center to a minimum of intensity can be calculated with:

$y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

From the above expression we see that if we replace the blue light of wavelength λ by red light of wavelength 2λ in order to retain the original diffraction pattern we need to change the slit width to 2d:

$y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d} =\frac{m2\lambda D}{2d}$
