An electric heater used to boil small amounts of water consists of a 15-Ω coil that is immersed directly in the water. It operat

es from a 60-V socket. How much time is required for this heater to raise the temperature of 0.80 kg of water from 20° C to the normal boiling point?

Answer:

t = 1120 seconds

Explanation:

Law of Conservation of Energy: It states that energy can neither be created or destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another

The heater converts electric energy to heat energy.

According to the law of conservation of Energy,

Heat supplied by the heater = heat gained by the water.

Heat supplied by the heater = (V²/R)t, Where V = voltage, R = Resistance, t = Time.

Heat gained by the water = cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, θ₂= final temperature of water, θ₁= initial temperature of water.

∴ (V²/R)t =  cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Making  t the subject of the equation,

t =  cm(θ₂ -θ₁) ×R/V²

Where c= 4200 Jkg/K, m=0.80 kg, R = 15 Ω, V = 60 V, θ₁= 20°C, θ₂ = the normal boiling point of water = 100°C

∴ t = (4200×0.8)(100 -20)×15/60²

t = (3360×80×15)/3600

t = 4032000/3600 = 1120 seconds

∴  The time required by the heater to raise the temperature of water to normal boiling point is 1120 seconds.

A. Compare solids, liquids, and gases in terms of the way their volumes change (or don't change) when placed into different cont
svet-max [94.6K]

a) Solids keep shape, liquids take shape of containers but don't spill, gases take container's shape and spill out

b) if you heat gas, speed of its molecules will increase and they'll push the container's walls stronger, so the pressure will increase when the container heated

c) Heat flows from warmer to colder bodies

d) For monatomic gases it's U=1.5nRT only, molecular gas has bonds between atoms so total internal energy increases

e) Of gases

f) v=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}=321 m/s

g) U=5/2*nRT=37830.85 J

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
erastova [34]

Answer

(C).

When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.


Step by step Solution

The work done by a force is defined as the product of the force and the distance traveled in the direction of motion.

The first answer "Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work" is wrong because, the force perpendicular to motion does no work.

The second choice "If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done" is wrong because the work in the direction of the force is W=F\times d.

Fourth answer "A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle" is wrong because the sin(90)=0 meaning that there is no work done in the direction perpendicular to the motion.

The third answer" When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered." is correct because the work is calculated using the force in the direction of the motion. The magnitude of this force is F\times d\times \cos(\theta).

A car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A t
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The time where the avergae speed equals the instaneous speed is T/2

Explanation:

The velocity of the car is:

v(t) = v0 + at

Where v0 is the initial speed and a is the constant acceleration.

Let's find the average speed. This is given integrating the velocity from 0 to T and dividing by T:

v_{ave} = \frac{1}{T}\int\limits^T_0 {v(t)} \, dt

v_ave = v0+a(T/2)

We can esaily note that when <u><em>t=T/2</em></u><u><em> </em></u>

v(T/2)=v_ave

Now we want to know where the car should be, the osition of the car is:

x(t) = x_A + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Where x_A is the position of point A. Therefore, the car will be at:

<u><em>x(T/2) = x_A + v_0 (T/2) + (1/8)aT^2</em></u>

frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.
