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

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

PLLLZ HELP Which of the following is a seamount?
o-na [289]

1. The seamount of the following given option is option D, i.e. Loihi.

2. Hawaii would be the location for the most active volcano according to the picture given.

Answer: Option D and Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Loihi is a seamount, which is a uplifted mountain risen to a certain altitude from the oceanic floor, but has no connection with the sea floor and hence do not come into the purview of being an island. sea mount are thus known as the submarine peak.

2. According to the diagram given, active site for volcano is Hawaii. the reason being that the hot spot for the volcanic activity is found beneath the Hawaiin island, whose tremendous stress is experienced below the fault line of Hawaii making it the most active site for volcano as per the seismological findings.

If a large housefly 2.4 m away from you makes a noise of 47.0 dB, what is the noise level (in dB) of 5400 flies at that distance
dem82 [27]

Answer:

the noise level of 5400 flies is equal to 84.32 dB

Explanation:

Noise made by house flies = 47 dB from the distance of 2.4 m

to calculate the noise of 5400 flies at a distance of 2.4 m.

the intensity of noise

  10 log_{10}(\dfrac{I}{I_0}) = 47 dB

now,  I' = 5400 I₀

=     10 log_{10}(\dfrac{5400 I}{I_0})

=    10 [log_{10}[5400] +log_{10}(\dfrac{I}{I_0}))      

= 10 ( 3.732 + 4.7 )                            

= 84.32 dB                                          

hence, the noise level of 5400 flies is equal to 84.32 dB

What is paleomagnetism how has it been used to understand plate tectonics?
Nonamiya [84]
<span>Plate tectonics is the theory that the earth's crust is broken up into plates that float on top of a hotter and more fluid layer below. Evidence to support this theory has been uncovered through the study of the earth's past magnetic field, known as paleomagnetism.</span>

Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 379 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 473
Tema [17]

Answer:

Acceleration = a = -1.94 m/s^2

Explanation:

Weight of the bundle = W = mg  

                      m = W/g = 473/9.8  

                      m = 48.26 kg

There are two forces acting on the bundle such as tension in the upward direction and weight in the downward direction. So, according to newton’s second law of motion:  

Sum of forces = ma  

                           T - W = ma  

                           a = (T – W)/m

                           a = (379 - 473)/48.26

                           a = -1.94 m/s^2

Negative sign shows that the acceleration is in the downward direction.
