An electric heating element is connected to a 110 V circuit and a current of 3.2 A is flowing through the element. How much ener

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

In a closed energy system, energy is?​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A closed system can exchange energy but not matter, with its surroundings. An isolated system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange energy and matter.

Hope this helped you!

12. A frain moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?
ziro4ka [17]
  • initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=25m/s
  • Time=t=30s

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25-0}{30}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25}{30}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=0.8m/s^2

80N force ;
lutik1710 [3]

The power of the engine is 320 W.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power may be defined as the rate of doing work (or) work done per unit time. One unit of energy is used to do the one unit of work.

                          Power = Work done / Time taken

Given, Force = 80 N,    height = 5 m , final velocity = 4 m/s

To calculate the power, we must know the time taken.

To find the time, use the distance and speed formula which is given by

                              Time = Distance / speed

Here distance = 5 m and speed = 4 m/s

                              Time = 5 / 4 = 1.25 s.

Now,          Power = work done / time

                              = (F * d) / t  = (80 * 5) / 1.25

                  Power = 320 W.

The standard unit of power is watt (W) which is joule per second.

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.
