Answer:

Answer:

71.6°

Explanation:

According to the diagram

ED = 6 feet

DA = EB = 3 feet

AC = 15 feet

AB = ED = 6 feet

BC = AC - AB = 15 - 6 = 9 feet

Let the angle is θ from the horizontal

By the triangle EBC

tanθ = BC / EB = 9 / 3

tanθ = 3

θ = 71.6°

Thus, the angle from the horizontal is 71.6°.

An electric current heats a 221 g (0.221 kg) copper wire from 20.0 °C to 38.0 °C. How much heat was generated by the current?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Heat generated by the current = 1547.89 J

Explanation:

We have equation for heat energy H = mCΔT

Mass of copper = 0.221 kg

Specific heat of copper = 0.093 kcal/kgC° = 389.112 J/kgC°

ΔT = 38 - 20 = 18°C

Substituting in H = mCΔT

           H = 0.221 x 389.112 x 18 = 1547.89 J

Heat generated by the current = 1547.89 J
