M = 20.0kg, the mass of the block.
c = 1700 J/(kg-°C), the specific heat
ΔT = 25 - 15 = 10 °C = 10 K, the change in temperature.

The change in thermal energy is
Q = (20.0 \, kg)*(1700 \,  \frac{J}{kg-C} )*(10 \, C) = 340 \times 10^{3} \, J

Answer: 340 kJ (or 340,000 J)

A mine elevator is supported by a single steel cable 0.0125 m in diameter. The total mass of the elevator cage and occupants is
Sonja [21]

Answer:

0.8895m

Explanation:

Cable diameter = 0.0125m

Mass of elevator = 6450kg

Young Modulus(E) = 2.11*10¹¹N/m

∇l (change in length) =

L = 362m

A = Πr², but r = d / 2 = 0.0125 / 2 = 0.00625m

A = 3.142 * (0.00625)² = 1.227*10^-4m²

Young Modulus (E) = Tensile stress / Tensile strain

E = (F / A) / ∇l / L

F = mg = 6450 * 9.8 = 63210N

2.11*10¹¹ = (63210 / 1.22*10^-4) / (∇l / 362)

2.11*10¹¹ = 5.18*10⁸ / (∇l / 362)

2.11*10¹¹ = (5.18*10⁸ * 362) / ∇l

2.11*10¹¹ = 1.875*10¹¹ / ∇l

∇l = 1.875*10¹¹ / 2.11*10¹¹

∇l = 0.8895m

The change in length is 0.8895m

What happens to the current supplied by the battery when you add an identical bulb in parallel to the original bulb?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

b. The current stays the same.

Explanation:

In the case given current is supplied by the battery to a bulb . Here, we should know that bulb also apply resistance to the flow of current .

Now, when an identical bulb is connected in parallel to the original bulb .

Therefore, both the resistance( bulb) are in parallel.

We know, when two resistance are in parallel , current through them is same and voltage is divided between them.

Therefore, in this case current stays same in the original bulb.

Hence, this is the required solution.
