How muck work is done using a 500 watt microwave oven for 5 minutes

Physics
1 answer:
IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago
7 0

If you stick to the usual definition of Work = (force) x (distance), then the answer
is zero.  The microwave oven doesn't exert any mechanical force on the leftover
meatloaf, and at the end of the 5 minutes of cooking time, the meatloaf is in the
exact same place where it started.  So 'force' and 'distance' are both zero.

But if we recognize that 'work' is just a transfer of energy, then we can easily
calculate the cooking energy that the oven pumps into its cooking chamber.

Remember that 1 watt = 1 joule per second.

(500 joule/sec) x (5 min) x (60 sec/min) = <em>150,000 joules</em>

¿Cuál es la frecuencia de una ola con una velocidad de 14 m / s y una longitud de onda de 20 metros?
Margaret [11]

Responder:

<h2>0.7Hertz </h2>

Explicación:

Usando la fórmula para calcular la velocidad de onda que se expresa como se muestra.

Velocidad de una onda = frecuencia * longitud de onda

v = fλ

Dada la velocidad de onda = 14 m / sy longitud de onda = 20 metros

frecuencia f = v / λ

f = 14/20

f = 0.7Hertz

La frecuencia de la onda es de 0.7 Hertz.

Even though you are getting closer to the sun as you ascend into the toposphere, why does the temperature drop?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The lower areas of the Atmosphere have a high temperature through the heats from the ground.

Explanation: High temperature experienced on the Earth surface is majorly caused by heats from the ground ( Earth crust).As a person ascend up to the Toposphere the temperature continues to reduce because because the heat from the ground is reduced as the heights increased.

It has been proven that as a person ascends into the Toposphere the amount of air and pressure reduces this will eventually lead to expansion of the gas particles which will then reduce the temperature.

If it takes 50.0 seconds to lift 10.0 Newtons of books to a height of 7.0
Ilya [14]
Work of the force = 10 N

Time required for the work = 50 sec

Height = 7 m

We are given with the value of work and time in the question.

Substitute the values in the formula of power and then you'll get the power required.

We know that,

w = Work

p = Power

t = Time

By the formula,

Given that,
Work (w) = 7 m = 70 Joules
Time (t) = 50 sec
Substituting their values,

p = 70/50

p = 1.4 watts

Therefore, the power required is 1.4 watts.

Hope it helps!

Two vectors of magnitudes 30 units and 70 units are added to each other. What are possible results of this addition? (section 3.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

Explanation:

given,

two vector of magnitude = 30 units and of 70 units

to calculate resultants vector = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b cos\theta}

cos θ value varies from -1 to 1

so, resultant vector

=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2 a b cos\theta}\ to\ \sqrt{a^2+b^2+ 2 a b cos\theta}

a = 30 units    and  b = 70 units

= \sqrt{30^2+70^2-2\times 30\times 70}\ to\ \sqrt{30^2+70^2+2\times 30\times 70}

=   40 units to 100 units

hence, the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.
