Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

r=\frac {mv}{qb}

Explanation:

In this case,  since the charged particle moves in circular motion,  the centripetal force is equivalent to the magnetic force.

\frac {mv^{2}}{r}=qvb\\\frac {mv}{r}=qb\\r=\frac {mv}{qb}

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.

A huge tank of glycerine with a density of 1.260 g/cm3 is vertically stationed on a platform which is 15 m above the ground. The
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The tank is losing 4.976*10^{-4}  m^3/s

v_g = 19.81 \ m/s

Explanation:

According to the Bernoulli’s equation:

P_1 + 1 \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho gh_1 = P_2 +  \frac{1}{2}  \rho v_2^2 + \rho gh_2

We are being informed that both the tank and the hole is being exposed to air :

∴ P₁ = P₂

Also as the tank is voluminous ; we take the initial volume  v_1 ≅ 0 ;

then v_2 can be determined as:\sqrt{[2g (h_1- h_2)]

h₁ = 5 + 15 = 20 m;

h₂ = 15 m

v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(20 - 15)]

v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(5)]

v_2= 9.9 \ m/s  as it leaves the hole at the base.

radius r = d/2  = 4/2 = 2.0 mm

(a) From the law of continuity; its equation can be expressed as:

J = A_1v_2

J = πr²v_2    

J =\pi *(2*10^{-3})^{2}*9.9

J =1.244*10^{-4}  m^3/s

b)

How fast is the water from the hole moving just as it reaches the ground?

In order to determine that; we use the relation of the velocity from the equation of motion which says:

v² = u² + 2gh ₂

v² = 9.9² + 2×9.81×15

v² = 392.31

The velocity of how fast the water from the hole is moving just as it reaches the ground is : v_g = \sqrt{392.31}

v_g = 19.81 \ m/s
