1 answer:

5 0

Every single thing in your home that's plugged into a wall outlet or works with a switch on the wall . . . every lamp, ceiling light, room fan, computer, microwave, stove, hair dryer, coffee pot, toaster, slow cooker, TV, home entertainment system, printer, wifi router, cordless phone, phone charger, and clock radio ... they're ALL in parallel.

<u>And</u> chances are that everything in your house is also in parallel with everything in the houses of a few of your neighbors on each side of you.

THAT's how parallel circuits are used in residential areas.

10. A boy weighs 475 N. What is his mass? (acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8m/s2 = g)

Darya [45]

Answer: mass = 48.47 kg.

Explanation:

Formula : Weight = mg , where m = mass of body , g= acceleration due to gravity .

Given: Weight = 475 N

$g= 9.8\ m/s^2$

Substitute all values in formula , we get

$475= m \times9.8\\\\\Rightarrow\ m = \dfrac{475}{9.8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ m \approx 48.47\ kg$

Hence, his mass = 48.47 kg.

A hot-water stream at 80 ℃ enters a mixing chamber with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s where it is mixed with a stream of cold wat

rewona [7]

Answer:

$\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Explanation:

$\dot{m_1}= 0.5kg/s$

from steam tables , at 250 kPa, and at

T₁ = 80⁰C ⇒ h₁ = 335.02 kJ/kg

T₂ = 20⁰C⇒ h₂ = 83.915 kJ/kg

T₃ = 42⁰C ⇒ h₃ = 175.90 kJ/kg

we know

$\dot{m_{in}}=\dot{m_{out}}$

$\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}}=\dot{m_{3}}$

according to energy balance equation

$\dot{m_{in}}h_{in}=\dot{m_{out}}h_{out}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=\dot{m_{3}}h_{3}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=(\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}})h_{3}\\(0.5\times 335.02)+(\dot{m_{2}}\times 83.915)=(0.5+\dot{m_{2}})175.90\\\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

A rod is given a charge of +16.7 UC, how many extra protons does It contain?

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

We know that the electronic charge is 1.6 E-19 coulombs

Therefore 1 coulomb of charge contains 1.6 E19 electrons

A charge of 16.7 E6 coulombs therefore contains

N = 16.7 E6 * 1.6 * E-19 = 2.67 E-12 electrons

Also, the charge on the proton equals that on the electron

Let’s say you pour an ounce of water from a class into a bowl. Does the water’s mass change?

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

No. If you take 5$ from your wallet and place on the shelf, does it change its value - No. So if you take the water from class(does not matter how much) and pour all of it somewhere else, it doesn't change its mass, yet it changes its shape.
