The info below shows three kettles with their powers and the time they take to boil 500cm3 of water. If electricity costs 9p per

dimaraw [331]

The cost of boiling 500 cm³ of water using the 3 KW Kettle is 1.35p

<h3>What is power? </h3>

This is defined as the rate in which energy is consumed. Electrical power is expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = Energy (E) / time (t)

P = E / t

<h3>How to determine the energy</h3>

Power (P) = 3 KW
Time (t) = 3 mins = 3 / 60 = 0.05 h
Energy (E) =?

E = Pt

E = 3 × 0.05

E = 0.15 KWh

<h3>How to determine the cost</h3>

Energy (E) = 0.15 KWh
Cost per unit = 9p
Cost =?

Cost = Energy × cost per unit

Cost = 0.15 × 9

Cost = 1.35p

What is the minimum value of the friction coefficient between the boxes that will keep them from slipping when the 100 N force i

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The friction coefficient's minimum value will be "0.173".

Explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attached file of the complete question.

According to the question,

(a)

The net friction force's magnitude will be:

⇒ $F_{net}=ma$

$=5\times 1.7$

$=8.5 \ N$

(b)

For m₃,

⇒ $ma=\mu m_3 g$

Or,

⇒ $\mu=\frac{a}{g}$

$=\frac{1.7}{9.8}$

$=0.173$

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$
