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

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular velocity of 140 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the
ratelena [41]

Answer:

A) α = -1.228 rev/min²

B) 7980 revolutions

C) α_t = -8.57 x 10^(-4) m/s²

D) α = 21.5 m/s²

Explanation:

A) Using first equation of motion, we have;

ω = ω_o + αt

Where,

ω_o is initial angular velocity

α is angular acceleration

t is time the flywheel take to slow down to rest.

We are given, ω_o = 140 rev/min ; t = 1.9 hours = 1.9 x 60 seconds = 114 s ; ω = 0 rev/min

Thus,

0 = 140 + 114α

α = -140/114

α = -1.228 rev/min²

B) the number of revolutions would be given by the equation of motion;

S = (ω_o)t + (1/2)αt²

S = 140(114) - (1/2)(1.228)(114)²

S ≈ 7980 revolutions

C) we want to find tangential component of the velocity with r = 40cm = 0.4m

We will need to convert the angular acceleration to rad/s²

Thus,

α = -1.228 x (2π/60²) = - 0.0021433 rad/s²

Now, formula for tangential acceleration is;

α_t = α x r

α_t = - 0.0021433 x 0.4

α_t = -8.57 x 10^(-4) m/s²

D) we are told that the angular velocity is now 70 rev/min.

Let's convert it to rad/s;

ω = 70 x (2π/60) = 7.33 rad/s

So, radial angular acceleration is;

α_r = ω²r = 7.33² x 0.4

α_r = 21.49 m/s²

Thus, magnitude of total linear acceleration is;

α = √((α_t)² + (α_r)²)

α = √((-8.57 x 10^(-4))² + (21.49)²)

α = √461.82

α = 21.5 m/s²
