Answer:
150.8 J
Explanation:
The heat released by the copper wire is given by:
where:
m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire
Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper
is the change in temperature of the wire
Substituting into the equation, we find
And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.
Complete Question
An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick
Answer:
The largest total area of the oil slick
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The volume of oil the escaped is
The refractive index of oil is
The refractive index of water is
The wavelength of the light is
Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as
Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n
It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question
substituting value
The are can be mathematically evaluated as
Substituting values
Answer:
2649600 Joules
Explanation:
Efficiency = 40%
m = Mass of air = 92000 kg
v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s
Kinetic energy is given by
The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules
The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind
The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules
