Answer:

P = 180 [w]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.

V = I*R & P = V*I

where:

V = voltage = 200[volts]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

P = power [watts]

Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed

P = 60 + 60 + 60

P = 180 [watts]

Now we can calculate the current

I = 180/200

I = 0.9[amp]

Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.

And the power is defined by P = V*I

we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore

P = 200*0.9

P = 180 [w]

In which of the two situations described is more energy transferred?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

More energy is transferred in situation A

Explanation:

Each of the situations are analyzed as follows;

Situation A

The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 40 °C

The temperature of the interior of the freezer in which the chocolate is placed = -20 °C

We note that at 0°C, the water in the chocolate freezes

The energy transferred by the chocolate to the freezer before freezing is given approximately as follows;

E₁ = m×c₁×ΔT₁

Where;

m = The mass of the chocolate

c₁ = The specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/(kg·K)

ΔT₁ = The change in temperature from 40 °C to 0°C

Therefore, we have;

E₁ = m×4.184×(40 - 0) = 167.360·m kJ

The heat the coffee gives to turn to ice is given as follows;

E₂ = m·H_f

Where;

H_f = The latent heat of fusion = 334 kJ/kg

∴ E₂ = m × 334 kJ/kg = 334·m kJ

The heat required to cool the frozen ice to -20 °C is given as follows;

E₃ = m·c₂·ΔT₂

Where;

c₂ = The specific heat capacity of ice = 2.108 kJ/(kg·K)

Therefore, we have;

E₃ = m × 2.108 ×(0 - (-20)) = 42.16

E₃ = 42.16·m kJ/(kg·K)

The total heat transferred = (167.360 + 334 + 42.16)·m kJ/(kg·K) = 543.52·m kJ/(kg·K)

Situation B

The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 90 °C

The temperature of the room in which the chocolate is placed = 25 °C

The heat transferred by the hot cup of coffee, E, is given as follows;

E = m×4.184×(90 - 25) = 271.96

∴ E = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)

Therefore, the total heat transferred in situation A is approximately twice the heat transferred in situation B and is therefore more than the heat transferred in situation B

Energy transferred in situation A = 543.52 kJ/(kg·K)

Energy transferred in situation B = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)

Energy transferred in situation A ≈ 2 × Energy transferred in situation B

∴ Energy transferred in situation A > Energy transferred in situation B.

What are significant figures?
vekshin1
“The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits (0 through 9 inclusive) in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation . The number of significant figures in an expression indicates the confidence or precision with which an engineer or scientist states a quantity.”

Force F = − + ( 8.00 N i 6.00 N j ) ( ) acts on a particle with position vector r = + (3.00 m i 4.00 m j ) ( ) .
jek_recluse [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F=((-8i)+6j)\ N

Position of the particle, r=(3i+4j)\ m

(a) The toque on a particle about the origin is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=((-8i)+6j) \times (3i+4j)

Taking the cross product of above two vectors, we get the value of torque as :

\tau=(0+0-50k)\ N-m

(b) Let \theta is the angle between r and F. The angle between two vectors is given by :

cos\theta=\dfrac{r.F}{|r|.|F|}

cos\theta=\dfrac{(3i+4j).((-8i)+6j)}{(\sqrt{3^2+4^2} ).(\sqrt{8^2+6^2}) }

cos\theta=\dfrac{0}{50}

\theta=90^{\circ}
