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

You stand 17.5 m from a wall holding a softball. You throw the softball at the wall at an angle of 30.5 ∘ from the ground with a
Levart [38]

Answer:

5.39 m

Explanation:

From kinematics

s=u_x t where t is time, s is distance and u_x is initial speed in x direction

u_x= 20.5cos 30.5=17.6634 m/s

u_y= 20.5 sin 30.5=10.40454 m/s

Now 17.5=17.6634 t

t=\frac {17.5}{17.6634} =0.99 s

Using the equation of kinematics

h=u_y t- 0.5gt^{2}

h=10.40454\times 0.99^{2}-0.5\times 9.81\times 0.99^{2}

h=5.39 m

A particle has 37.5 J of kinetic energy and 12.5 J of gravitational potential energy at one point during its fall from a tree to
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: 50J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy follows the same principles of kinetic energy and potential energy, it is conserved. So Ei = Ef.

Mechanical energy is the sum of ALL energy's. There is no friction, so its just kinetic plus potential.

37.5 + 12.5 = 50J

Since the particle has not touched the ground, it has not transferred any energy to the ground yet, therefore the mechanical energy must still be 50J; mostly in kinetic energy with a very small amount of potential because of the low height relative to the ground.

A person is drinking a glass of soda with ice.
prisoha [69]

The relative kinetic energy of molecules in the soda is least energy and above the soda in the glass is greatest energy.

The relative kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with increase in the mean distance between the gas molecules.

Also, relative kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with in the temperature of the gas molecules and decreases with a decrease in the temperature of the of the gas molecules;

ΔK.E ∝ T

The ice in the soda lowers the temperature of the gas molecules, thereby reducing their average speed which in turn reduces the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the soda.

Above the soda in the glass, the concentration of the gas molecules is less and their mean distance is greatest when compared to inside the soda. This results to an increase in the speed of the gas molecules which increases their average kinetic energy.

Thus,  the relative kinetic energy of molecules in the soda is least energy and above the soda in the glass is greatest energy.

A box slides down a frictionless incline, gaining speed. The work done by the normal force n is _______.
jeka57 [31]

The work done by the normal force n when the box slides down a frictionless incline and gaining speed is zero.

<h3>What is normal force?</h3>

The force of contact is called the normal force. When the two surfaces are in contact with each other, then the normal force acts.

This force is applied by the solid bodies on each other in order to prevent the passing through each other.

A box slides down a frictionless incline, gaining speed. For this box, the value of work done by normal force has to be found out. Let's analyze the given condition.

  • The body is gaining the speed, which means there is a change in kinetic energy.
  • The change in kinetic energy is equal to the work done.
  • The friction force is the product of coefficient of the friction and normal force.
  • The friction force for the given case is zero. Thus, the normal force must be equal to the zero.

Thus, the work done by the normal force n when the box slides down a frictionless incline and gaining speed is zero.
