Direct currents flow in one direction, while in alternating currents the flow could change/alternate.

In a direct current, the electric charge, or current, only flows in one direction. In an alternating current, the electric charge changes periodically.

Assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body, how many slices of pizza must you eat to walk for 2.5 h at a speed of

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

2.7 Pizzas.

Explanation:

The power required to walk through 5km in 1 hour is 380W.

A watt is basically Jules per second, then we need to standardized this measurement to second.

5km/hr is equal to,

$\frac{5km}{hr}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=1.389m/s$

Walking by 2.5 hours is equal to a distance of,

$d=v*t=1.389*(2.5*3600) = 12500m$

The total energy required then would be,

$E = \frac{380J}{1.389m/s}(12500)=3.4199*10^6J$

Then we know that one pizza slice gives $1260*10^3J$ of energy, the total pizza needed are,

$\eta = \frac{3.4199*10^6}{1260*10^3} = 2.7142$

<em>Then you need to buy 3 pizza.</em>

A recent home energy bill indicates that a household used 475475 kWh (kilowatt‑hour) of electrical energy and 135135 therms for

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,.

A house hold power consumption is

475 KWh

Gas used is

135 thermal gas for month

Given that, 1 thermal = 29.3 KWh

Then,

135 thermal = 135 × 29.3 = 3955.5 KWh

So, total power used is

P = 475 + 3955.5

P =4430.5 KWh

Since 1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, the energy consumed for 1hr is

1KW = 1000W

P = energy / time

Energy = Power × time

E = 4430.5 KWhr × 1000W / KW × 3600s / hr

E = 1.595 × 10^10 J

So, using Albert Einstein relativity equation

E = mc²

m = E / c²

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^8 m/s

m = 1.595 × 10^10 / (3 × 10^8)²

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg

Then,

1 kg = 10^6 mg

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg × 10^6 mg / kg

m = 0.177mg

m ≈ 0.18 mg

A certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.72 m can generate a magnetic field of 3.5 T in its core w

ira [324]

Answer:

55407

Explanation:

we have given that magnetic field B=3.5 T

current through the coil=90 A

Length of solenoid =0.72 m

we know the formula of magnetic field

$B=\frac{\mu _0NI}{l}$

so $N=\frac{Bl}{\mu _0I}=\frac{3.5\times 0.72}{4\pi \times 10^{-6}\times 90}=55407.277=55407\ turns$

so the number of turn in solenoid will be 55407

You then measure Polly's internal temperature to be 13oC, which is quite a drop from the normal human body temperature of 37oC.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 13°C

Temperature = 37°C

Mass = 60 Kg

Energy = 5000 J

We need to calculate the specific heat

Using formula of energy

$Q= mc\Delta T$

$c =\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}$

Put the value into the formula

$c=\dfrac{5000}{60\times(37-13)}$

$c=3.47222\ J/kg^{\circ}C$

Hence, The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.
