You are designing a toaster heating element to consume 10A at 120V. The heating element will be made from a length of cylindrica

l nichrome wire having a uniform diameter of 0.8mm. Nichrome has a resistivity (⍴) of 1.6 x 10-6 Ωm. a. What resistance does this wire need to have? b. How long does the wire need to be? c. If the toaster is operated for 5 minutes, how much energy is consumed? 2)

Answer: a) 12 Ω; b) 15.10 m; c) 360 kJ

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to considere the OHM law which is given by:

V=R*I where R is the resistance and I the current, V is the voltage.

For the toaster heating the resistance must be equal

R=V/I=120/10= 12 Ω

We also know that R=ρ*L/A where L and A are the length and area of the wire.

Then the length of the wire is given by:

L=R*A/ρ= 12*π*(0.8*10^-3)^2/1.6*10^-6=15.10 m

Finally we can calculate the consumed energy by the toaster heating during 5 minutes (5*60s=300 s).

The power is equal:

P=I*V= 10*120=1200 W

E= P*time (s)= 1200*300=360*10^3J

Answer:

a) 12 Ω; b) 3.77 m; c) 360 kJ

Explanation:

In order to explain this problem we have to consider the OHM law which is given by:

V=R*I where R is the resistance and I the current, V is the voltage.

For the toaster heating the resistance must be equal

R=V/I=120/10= 12 Ω

We also know that R=ρ*L/A where L and A are the length and area of the wire.

Then the length of the wire is given by:

L=R*A/ρ= 12*π*(0.4*10^-3)^2/1.6*10^-6= 3.77 m

Finally we can calculate the consumed energy by the toaster heating during 5 minutes (5*60s=300 s).

The power is equal:

P=I*V= 10*120=1200 W

E= P*time (s)= 1200*300=360*10^3J

As per the question the wavelength of spectral line of the neutral hydrogen atom is 21 cm.

Spectral line of hydrogen atom will be observed when an electron will jump from higher excited to the ground state. If E is the energy of the ground state and E' is the energy of the higher excited state,the energy emitted when electron will jump from higher excited to ground state is E'-E.

As per Planck's quantum theory -

$hf =E'-E$

Where f is the frequency of emitted radiation and h is the Planck's constant.Actually this energy emitted is also electromagnetic in nature. We know that all the electromagnetic radiation will move with the same velocity which is equal to the velocity of light.

The velocity of light c= 3×10^8 m/s.Hence the velocity of wave corresponding to this spectral line is 3×10^8 m/s.

We know that velocity of a wave is the product of frequency and wavelength of that corresponding wave. Mathematically we can write it as-

$v=\lambda f$

[ $here \lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave ]

It is given that wavelength =21 cm=0.21 m

The frequency is calculated as -

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

$=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

$=\frac{3*10^{8} m/s }{0.21 m}$

$=14.2857*10^{8} s^{-1}$

Hence the antenna will be tuned to a frequency of 14.2857×10^8 Hz

Here Hertz[ Hz] is the unit of frequency.

A construction worker drags a box across the floor. If the frictional force between the floor and the box is 12.2 newtons, how m

victus00 [196]

The work done is 140.3 J

Explanation:

The work done is defined as the amount of force required or used to move an object over a particular distance. Hence, work done is the product of force in Newton and the distance in which the object moved in meters.
Here, in the question, it is given that there is a frictional force acting on the box by the floor and the distance it moves. Hence, to get the answer to multiply frictional force and the distance. So, will get the work done as 140.3 J.

What are the Characteristics of the taiga

Natalka [10]

Answer:

A biome that is also known as the snow forest or boreal forest is called the taiga forest. This forest is characterized by the presence of the coniferous tress.

Explanation:

It is the largest known biome and is known to contain the soil that has negligible nutrient content and high acidic content.
The limit in the organic contribution of the soil is mainly due to the cold and moist climate that does not undergo deterioration for longer period of time. Also, it adds to the thinness of the soil.
Accompanied by the coniferous trees, the vegetation includes broad leaved trees and some herbaceous plants.
The climate consists of longer winters and smaller summer season. Mammals, fishes and insects are present in the taiga forest along with the herbivores mammals.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

This statement is false.

Explanation:

If the farmers field is close to the stream, and has experienced a lot of runoff, the runoff will carry chemicals from the farm into the stream, which includes fertilizers among other chemicals. This runoff into the stream will not lead to a decrease in the level of fertilizers in the stream. Therefore, one of the effect of this cannot be a decrease in the level of fertilizers from the field.
