An office worker uses an immersion heater to warm 237 g of water in a light, covered, insulated cup from 20°C to 100°C in 6.00 m

inutes. The heater is a Nichrome resistance wire connected to a 120-V power supply. Assume that the wire is at 100°C throughout the 6.00-min time interval. (a) Calculate the average power required to warm the water to 100°C in 6.00 min. (The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg · °C.)

Answer:

(a) 220.46 Watt

Explanation:

m = 237 g

T1 = 20 degree C, T2 = 100 degree c , t = 6 minutes = 6 x 60 = 360 seconds

V = 120 V, c = 4186 J/kg C

(a)

Heat required to raise the temperature = m x c x (T2 - T1)

H = 0.237 x 4186 x (100 - 20)

H = 79366.56 Joule

Power = Heat / time = 79366.56 / 360 = 220.46 Watt

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 protons and an atomic mass of 24. How many neutrons does magnesium have?
JulijaS [17]
An atom is made up of three different particles, which are proton, neutron and electron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up mass of the atom. The electron orbit around the nucleus. The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged, thus, for the atom to remain neutral, the number of proton and electron in an atom must be equal. The neutron has no charge.
The atomic mass of an element = number of proton + number of neutron
Atomic mass of magnesium= 24 
Number of proton = 12
Therefore, number of neutron = 24 - 12 = 12.
Thus, the number of neutron = 12.

Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100 m apart. Arthur has a
Gnoma [55]
The distance covered by Arthur is
3t
The distance covered by Betty from where Arthur started is
100 - 2t
They meet each other when this distance is equal
3t = 100 - 2t
t = 20 s

Since the dog has a constant speed of 5m/s, the distance that Spot has run is
5 m/s (20s) = 100 m
