An electric travel blanket uses a car's 12V supply. The current is 3A.
snow_lady [41]

For electrical devices . . .

           Power dissipated = (voltage) x (current) =

                                             (12 V)  x  (3.0 A) = 36 watts .

1 watt means 1 joule per second

           (36 joule/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (10 min)  =  21,600 joules

A 300 MHz electromagnetic wave in air (medium 1) is normally incident on the planar boundary of a lossless dielectric medium wit
Masja [62]

Answer:

Wavelength of the incident wave in air = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2 = 0.33 m

Intrinsic impedance of media 1 = 377 ohms

Intrinsic impedance of media 2 = 125.68 ohms

Check the explanation section for a better understanding

Explanation:

a) Wavelength of the incident wave in air

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave in air, f = 300 MHz = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Speed of light in air, c =  3 * 10⁸ Hz

Wavelength of the incident wave in air:

\lambda_{air} = \frac{c}{f} \\\lambda_{air} = \frac{3 * 10^{8} }{3 * 10^{8}} \\\lambda_{air} = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2

The refractive index of air in the lossless dielectric medium:

n = \sqrt{\epsilon_{r} } \\n = \sqrt{9 }\\n =3

\lambda_{2} = \frac{c}{nf}\\\lambda_{2} = \frac{3 * 10^{6} }{3 * 3 * 10^{6}}\\\lambda_{2} = 1/3\\\lambda_{2} = 0.33 m

b) Intrinsic impedances of media 1 and media 2

The intrinsic impedance of media 1 is given as:

n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_{0} } }

Permeability of free space, \mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m

Permittivity for air, \epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m

n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7}  }{8.84 * 10^{-12}  } }

n_1 = 377 \Omega

The intrinsic impedance of media 2 is given as:

n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_r \mu_0}{\epsilon_r \epsilon_{0} } }

Permeability of free space, \mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m

Permittivity for air, \epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m

ϵr = 9

n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} *1 }{8.84 * 10^{-12} *9 } }

n_2 = 125.68 \Omega

c) The reflection coefficient,r  and the transmission coefficient,t at the boundary.

Reflection coefficient, r = \frac{n - n_{0} }{n + n_{0} }

You didn't put the refractive index at the boundary in the question, you can substitute it into the formula above to find it.

r = \frac{3 - n_{0} }{3 + n_{0} }

Transmission coefficient at the boundary, t = r -1

d) The amplitude of the incident electric field is E_{0} = 10 V/m

Maximum amplitudes in the total field is given by:

E = tE_{0} and E = r E_{0}

E = 10r, E = 10t

Radioactive isotopes can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, or other artifacts. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years

A Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670
Nikolay [14]

Answer:  459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r)  = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c =  F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2)   ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

                m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting  our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N
