Answer:

V=22.65m^{3}/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the water is determined from the needed power and the elevation

So

V=\frac{W}{npgh}\\ V=\frac{50*10^{6}}{1.1000*9.81*225}\\V=22.65m^{3}/s

A cassette recorder uses a plug-in transformer to convert 120 V to 12.0 V, with a maximum current output of 200 mA. What is the
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

20 mA

Explanation:

We have given that the transformer convert 120 V to 12 V means it is a step down transformer

The turn ratio of the transformer is given as a=\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{120}{12}=10 here V_! is primary voltage and V_2 is secondary voltage

As the voltage decreases from primary to secondary so current will increase from primary to secondary

We have given output current that is secondary current so primary that is input current will be less

So input current =\frac{200}{10}=20mA

5. How much heat is generated when an
Mila [183]

Answer:

I HOPE THIS IS CORRECT

Explanation:

Power of water =2 kw=2000w

Mass of water =200kg

difference in temperature ΔT=70−10=60oC

Concept

energy required to heat the water = energy given by water in time t=pt

energy required to increase tempeature of water by 60oC,Q=msΔT

S= specific heat =4200J/kgoC

              pt=msΔT

   2000×t=200×4200×60

      t=25200  

or   t=25.2×103sec.

At an amusement park, a 7.00 kg swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. The swimmer starts at rest, slides without fr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

27.44 J

Explanation:

We can find the energy at the top of the slide by using the potential energy equation:

  • PE = mgh

At the top of the slide, the swimmer has 0 kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.

The swimmer's mass is given as 7.00 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

The (vertical) height of the water slide is 0.40 m.

Substitute these values into the potential energy equation:

  • PE = (7.00)(9.8)(0.40)
  • PE = 27.44

Since there is 0 kinetic energy at the top of the slide, the total energy present is the swimmer's potential energy.

Therefore, the answer is 27.44 J of energy when the swimmer is at the top of the slide.

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. If she starts at rest, how far has she traveled in :
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the toboggan, a=1.8\ m/s^2

Initial speed of the toboggan, u = 0

We need to find the distance covered by the toboggan. Using the second equation of motion as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

At t = 1 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 1^2

s_1=0.9\ m

At t = 2 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 2^2

s_2=3.6\ m

At t = 3 s

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 3^2

s_3=8.1\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
