Answer: Option C) 3A

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 90.0 Volts

Current I = ?

R1 = 5.0Ω

R2 = 10.0Ω

R3 = 15.0Ω

Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3

Rtotal = 5.0Ω + 10.0Ω + 15.0Ω = 30.0Ω

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

V = I x Rtotal

90.0V = I x 30.0Ω

I = 90.0V / 30.0Ω

I = 3 Amps (Amps is the unit of current)

Thus, the current in the circuit is 3 Amps

The process of flask becoming cold is due to endothermic reaction.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

So two kinds of heat transfer can be possible in any chemical reaction. If the sample is considered as system and the sample container is considered as the surrounding, then heat transfer can occur between them.

If the heat is transferred from the surrounding to the system , then it is an endothermic reaction. And in those cases, the sample holder will be becoming colder. This is because the heat from the surrounding that is the container will be utilized to complete the reaction.

While when there is transfer of heat from the system to surrounding , it will be exothermic reaction and the beaker will be getting hot in this process. So in the present case, the container is becoming cold because of occurrence of endothermic process.

A straight segment of a current-carrying wire has a current element IL where I = 2.70 A and L = 3.20 cm i + 4.30 cm j. The segme

myrzilka [38]

The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The given parameters;

current in the wire, I = 2.7 A
length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm
magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i

The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;

$F = ILBsin(\theta)$

where;

θ is the angle wire and magnetic field

The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{y}{x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{4.3}{3.2} )\\\\\theta = 53.3 \ ^0$

The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;

$|l | = \sqrt{3.2^2 + 4.3^2} = 5.36 \ cm = 0.0536 \ m$

The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;

$F_z = -ILB sin(\theta)\\\\F_z = -2.7 \times 0.0536 \times 1.24 \times sin(53.3)\\\\F_z = -0.144 \ N$

Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

How much heat is needed to change 1.25 kg of steak at 100°C to water at 100°C?

cricket20 [7]

The heat required to change 1.25 kg of steak is 2825 kJ /kg.

Explanation:

Given, mass m = 1.25 kg, Temperature t = 100 degree celsius

To calculate the heat required,

Q = m $\times$ L

where m represents the mass in kg,

L represents the heat of vaporization.

When a material in the liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor and the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of the vaporization. The heat of vaporization of the water is about 2260 kJ/kg.

Q = 1.25 $\times$ 2260

Q = 2825 kJ /kg.
