Power (rate of using energy) = (voltage) x (current)

Power of this heating element = (120 V) x (3.2 A) = 384 watts


The easy way:

     384 watts = 0.384 kilowatt

     (0.384 kilowatt) x (5 hours) = 1.92 kilowatt-hour


Another way:
     
                            384 watts = 384 joules per second .

        (384 joule/sec) x (3600 sec/hour) x (5 hours)  

=      (384 x 3600 x 5) (joules)  =  6,912,000 joules.

Wouldn't it be 110V * 3.2A * 5 hours? 

The problem shows 110V not 120V

So it would be 110V * 3.2A = 352

And 352 * 5 = 1760

A 2.0 x 10^3-kilogram car travels at a constant speed of 12 meters per second around a circular curve of radius 30. meters. What
Vikentia [17]

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car as it goes round the curve is 4.8 m/s²

<h3>Circular motion</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal acceleration can be calculated by using the formula

a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}

Where a_{c} is the centripetal acceleration

v is the velocity

and r is the radius

From the given information

v = 12 \ m/s

and r = 30 \ m

Therefore,

a_{c} =\frac{12^{2} }{30}

a_{c} =\frac{144 }{30}

a_{c} = 4.8\ m/s^{2}

Hence, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car as it goes round the curve is 4.8 m/s²

At a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienc
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

27.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that at a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienced staff member knows that the deceleration of a car when skidding is -40.52 m/s2.

Using third equation of motion,

V^2 = U^2 + 2aS

Since the car is decelerating, the final velocity V = 0

Substitute all the parameter into the equation above,

0 = U^2 - 2 * 40.52 * 9.06

U^2 = 734.22

U = \sqrt{734.22}

U = 27.096

U = 27.1 m/s  approximately

Therefore, the staff member can estimate for the original speed of the race car to be 27.1 m/s if it came to a stop during the skid

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ
