It takes 56.5 kilojoules of energy to raise the temperature of 150 milliliters of water from 5 °C to 95 °C. If you use an electr

ic water heater that is 60% efficient, how many kilojoules of electrical energy will the heater actually use by the time the water reaches its final temperature?

If 56.5kJ are needed to raise the temp by 90°C and if the heater is 60% efficient that means that:

60% X y = 56.5kJ

where y is the electrical energy in kJ that the heater will use.

y = 94.2kJ

A stone is dropped from a tower 100 meters above the ground. The stone falls past ground level and into a well. It hits the wate
Elan Coil [88]
Make the base of the building zero. Then the initial distance is 100m, final distance unknown x. Use gravity, time and initial velocity to solve for final distance.
x - 100 = (0)(5) +(1/2)(-9.81)(5^2)
x - 100 = 0 - 122.625
x = -122.625 + 100
x = -22.625 m below ground

List and describe three biological applications of electricity
mihalych1998 [28]

Before we dive into how electricity is used around the home it is worth putting household electricity use in perspective.

Household electricity use generally makes up about a third of total electricity consumption  in most developed nations.  Using data from the European Union we can give an example of how electricity demand is split among different sectors.

A 55.4 g sample of water at 99.61 °C is placed in a constant pressure calorimeter. Then, 23.4 g of zinc metal at 21.6 °C is adde
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C

Explanation:

From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture

Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal

m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)

m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g

C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g

C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal

T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C

T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C

T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C

55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)

746.9028 = 1750.32C2

C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C

Match the boundary with its characteristic
kondor19780726 [428]
<span>Matching the boundary with its characteristics 1. Convergent - C. Compression 2. Divergent - B. Along ocean ridges 3. Transform - A. Along strike-slip faults The compression that occur in the convergent boundary causes the reverse fault in the earth crust. So in the divergent boundary two crust plates move apart causing a normal fault along the ocean ridges. The faults in the transform boundary happens at the place where plates slide laterally.</span>
