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

What is the relation between acceleration due to gravity and radius of the earth? ​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth.

Formula: g = GM/r2

Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2

Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2

Which is an organic compound
DedPeter [7]

Organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The few carbon-containing compounds not classified as organic include carbides, carbonates, and cyanides.

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river,
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

t=40s,

Explanation:

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:

from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank

Vt=v1+v2

the time is takes to swim across the bank will be

DY=Dv*t

DY=distance across the bank

Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank

t=20/ 0.5m/s,

t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank

velocity is the rate of displacement

displacement is distance covered in a specific direction

A cyclotron is to accelerate protons to an energy of 5.4 MeV. The superconduction electromagnet of the cyclotron produces a 2.9T
mart [117]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Radius = 0.0818 m

Angular velocity = 2.775 × 10^7 rad/sec

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The mass of proton m=1.6748 × 10^-27 kg;  

Charge of electron e= 1.602 × 10^-19 C;  

kinetic energy E= 2.7 MeV

                          = 2.7 × 10^6 × 1.602 × 10^-19 J;

                          = 4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

But; K.E =0.5m*v^2,

Hence v=√(2K.E/m)

Velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 m/s

Angular velocity, ω = v/r

Therefore; V = ωr

Hence; V = √(2K.E/m) = ωr

r= √(2E/m)/w = √E*√(2*m)/(eB)

  = √E * √(2×1.6748×10^-27)/(1.602×10^-19 ×2.9)

but E =  4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

  r = 0.0818 m

Angular speed

Angular velocity, ω = v/r , where r is the radius and v is the velocity

Therefore;

Angular velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 / 0.0818 m

                            = 2.775 × 10^7 rad /sec
