A kettle is rated at 1 kW, 220 V. Calculate the working resistance of the kettle.

Physics
1 answer:
Anna [14]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Power of electric kettle, P = 1 kW

Voltage, V = 220 V

(a) Electric power is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

R is resistance

R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(220)^2}{10^3}\\\\R=48.4\ \Omega

(b) When connected to a 220 V supply, it takes 3 minutes for the water in the kettle to reach boiling point.

Energy supplied is given by :

E=P\times t

P is power, P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

E=\dfrac{V^2}{R}t\\\\E=\dfrac{(220)^2}{48.4}\times 180\\\\E=180000\ J\\\\E=180\ kJ

An applied force of 50 N is used to accelerate an object, that weighs 73 N, to the right across a frictional surface. The object
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

5.38 m/s^2

Explanation:

NET force causing the object to accelerate  =  50 -10 = 40 N

Mass of the object =  73 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 7.44 kg

F = ma

40 = 7.44 * a         a = 5.38 m/s^2

A boy jogs 250 meters in 110s what is the average speed
Artyom0805 [142]
The rule to get the average speed is as follows:
average speed = average distance / average time

We are given that:
distance = 250 m
time = 110 sec

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the average speed as follows:
average speed = 250/110 = 25/11 meters/sec

Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount \Delta x), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2

E_i=E_f\\

\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness
TiliK225 [7]
Free fall means your falling because of gravity and weight and will eventually hit the ground without any protection. weightlessness means a place or time where there is no gravity and you're floating and not falling.
