An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 50 cal of heat per second when an e

lectric potential difference of 12 V is placed across its leads. What is the resistance of the heater wire? (Note: 1 cal = 4.186 J)

Answer:

0.69 ohm

Explanation:

Heat generated per second, H = 50 cal/s

Potential difference, V = 12 V

Let R is the resistance of coil.

The formula for the heat is given by

H = \frac{V^{2}}{R}t

50\times 4.186 = \frac{12^{2}}{R}\times 1

R = 0.69 ohm

A parallel-plate air capacitor with a capacitance of 260 pF has a charge of magnitude 0.155 μC on each plate. The plates have a
butalik [34]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates is 596.2 volts.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance C=260\ pF

Charge q=0.155\ \mu\ C

Separation of plates = 0.313 mm

We need to calculate the potential difference between the plates

Using formula of potential difference

V= \dfrac{Q}{C}

Where, Q = charge

C = capacitance

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{0.155\times10^{-6}}{260\times10^{-12}}

V=596.2\ volts

Hence,The potential difference between the plates is 596.2 volts.

If a snowboarder’s initial speed is 4 m/s and comes to rest when making it to the upper level. With a slightly greater initial s
Brrunno [24]

(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The effect of height  and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)

¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)

v² - u² = -2ghf

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • v is the final velocity at upper level
  • u is the initial velocity
  • hf is final height
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,

when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0

Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

<h3>Final speed</h3>

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
  • g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
  • v is final speed
  • hf is equal height

Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;

5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s

Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.
