<h2>Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J</h2>

Explanation:

Energy = Power x Time

Power = Voltage x Current

Voltage = 120 V

Current = 9.5 A

Power = Voltage x Current

Power = 120 x 9.5 = 1140 W

Time = 2 hours = 2 x 60 x 60 = 7200 s

Energy = Power x Time

Energy = 1140 x 7200

Energy = 8208000 J

Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Control of air–fuel ratio

Oxygen sensors tell the ECU whether the engine is running rich (too much fuel or too little oxygen) or running lean (too much oxygen or too little fuel) as compared to ideal conditions (known as stoichiometric).

Wood has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy when burned in a fireplace. Which best explai
Marianna [84]

Answer:In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.

When the mass of the sun is larger, Earth moves around the sun at a faster or slower pace.
maw [93]
-- The mass of the sun never increases.

-- It does decrease, but not nearly enough to have any noticeable
effect on the orbital motion of the Earth, or any other planet.

-- When Earth is closer to the sun, it moves faster in its orbit.

-- When Earth is farther from the sun, it moves slower in its orbit.

-- The result is that the line from the sun to the Earth always covers
the same amount of area in the same length of time. 

-- Johannes Kepler noticed this, and it's his Second Law of planetary motion.

-- Newton showed that if his equations for gravity and motion are correct, 
then planets MUST behave this way.
