The info below shows three kettles with their powers and the time they take to boil 500cm3 of water. If electricity costs 9p per

dimaraw [331]

The cost of boiling 500 cm³ of water using the 3 KW Kettle is 1.35p

<h3>What is power? </h3>

This is defined as the rate in which energy is consumed. Electrical power is expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = Energy (E) / time (t)

P = E / t

<h3>How to determine the energy</h3>

Power (P) = 3 KW
Time (t) = 3 mins = 3 / 60 = 0.05 h
Energy (E) =?

E = Pt

E = 3 × 0.05

E = 0.15 KWh

<h3>How to determine the cost</h3>

Energy (E) = 0.15 KWh
Cost per unit = 9p
Cost =?

Cost = Energy × cost per unit

Cost = 0.15 × 9

Cost = 1.35p

Describe how the boiling point of water on top of a mountain would be different from its boiling point at sea level.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

At elevated altitudes, any cooking that involves boiling or steaming generally requires compensation for lower temperatures because the boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes due to the decreased atmospheric pressure.

M84, M87, and NGC 4258 all have accretion disks around their central black holes for which the rotational velocities have been m

givi [52]

Answer:

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

Explanation:

1 parsec, pc = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m

The equation of the orbit speed can be used to calculate the doppler velocity:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }$

making m the subject of the formula in the equation above to calculate the mass of the black hole:

$M = \frac{v^{2} r}{G}$ .............(1)

r = 8 pc = 8 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 24.64 * 10¹⁶ m

v = 400 km/s = 4 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 4*10^{5}) ^{2} *24.64* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

r = 20 pc = 20 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 61.6* 10¹⁶ m

v = 500 km/s = 5 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 5*10^{5}) ^{2} *61.6* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

The mass of the black hole in the galaxies is measured using the doppler shift.

The assumption made is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion is needed to match the line widths that are observed.

A. How many atoms of helium gas fill a spherical balloon of diameter 29.6 cm at 19.0°C and 1.00 atm? b. What is the average kine

Korolek [52]

Answer:

a) 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) 1349.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the balloon, d = 29.6 cm = 0.296 m

Temperature, T = 19.0° C = 19 + 273 = 292 K

Pressure, P = 1.00 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa

Volume of the balloon = $\frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{d}{2})^3$

Volume of the balloon = $\frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{0.296}{2})^3$

Volume of the balloon, V = 0.0135 m³

Now,

From the relation,

PV = nRT

where,

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314 kg⋅m²/s²⋅K⋅mol

on substituting the respective values, we get

1.013 × 10⁵ × 0.0135 = n × 8.314 × 292

n = 0.563

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

Thus,

0.563 moles will have = 0.563 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms = 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) Average kinetic energy = $\frac{3}{2}\times K_BT$

where,

Boltzmann constant, $K_B=1.3807\times10^{-23}J/K$

Average kinetic energy = $\frac{3}{2}\times1.3807\times10^{-23}\times292$

Average kinetic energy = 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) rms speed = $\frac{3RT}{m}$

where, m is the molar mass of the Helium = 0.004 Kg

rms speed = $\frac{3\times8.314\times292}{0.004}$

rms speed = 1349.35 m/s
