To work on your car at night, you use an extension cord to connect your work light to a power outlet near the door. How would th

e illumination provided by the light be affected by the length of the extension cord

Answer:

The longer the cord, the lower the illumination

Explanation:

The illumination provided by the light bulb will be reduced as the length of the extension cord increases. This is because the resistance provided by the wire increases with its length.

Long wires have more electrical resistance than shorter ones.

Let us consider this formula:

Resistance =\frac{\rho L}{A}

From this formula, we can see that as the length increases, the resistance to current flow offered by the wire increases also provided the resistivity and cross-sectional area of the wire remain constant. As a result of this, the illumination will drop.

Which is a valid velocity reading for an object?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

45 m / s North is a valid vector reading for an object.

Explanation:

Then velocity will be defined by x km / hr North. And, magnitude of velocity defines the speed of the body. Although this tells the speed, but there is no description for the direction, so it's not a vector reading

if 100 kilojoules of energy is used to heat 500 grams of water what is the temperature change of the water​
Serjik [45]

Answer:

47.8 °C

Explanation:

Use the heat equation:

q = mCΔT

where q is the heat absorbed/lost,

m is the mass of water,

C is the specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Here, q = 100 kJ, m = 0.5 kg, and C = 4.184 kJ/kg/°C.

100 kJ = (0.5 kg) (4.184 kJ/kg/°C) ΔT

ΔT = 47.8 °C

A temperature of a 50 kg block increases by 15°C when 337,500 J thermal energy are added to the block. what is the block made of
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Iron

Explanation:

H = mc∅

Above equation can be used here to find the answer to the question. this equation gives us the relationship between the heat energy supplied to a material and the temperature difference that the material would go through according to its mass.

here H is the Heat energy supplied to the material. m is the mass of the material. c is the specific heat capacity of the material and ∅ is the temperature difference applied to the material. we are given that H= 337,500J , m = 50 kg and ∅ = 15 °C. so from the equation now we can calculate the value of c. after calculating c we can find the material because c is an unique value for a particular material. no two materials have the same c value.

c = 337500/(50*15)

c = 450 J/(kg°C) - Iron (google the heat capacity value to find the answer Iron)
