Power(p) = 2kW

Time(t)= 3 h

Work done(w) = ?

p = w / t

w = p × t

w = 2kW × 3 h

w = 6kWh

Converting 6kWh to Joules,

6kWh

6×(10^3)h ( k = 10^3 )

6×10^3×(60×60) ( 1 hour = 60 × 60 sec)

2.2×10^7 J in 2 significant figures

A 100-watt lightbulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J/s. (The watt, a unit of power, or energy over time, is defined as 1 J/s.

Answer:

N=2.18\cdot 10^{20}photons/s

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is: E=h\nu=h\frac{c}{\lambda} when h is the Planck constant.

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js    

c=3.8\cdot 10^{8}m/s

Then, we calculate the energy of a photon with a wavelength equal to 550 nm.

E= 4.58\cdot 10^{-19}J

To find the number of photons we can use this equation:

N=\frac{P}{E}=\frac{100}{4.58\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.18\cdot 10^{20} photons/s

Have a nice day!

When you walk with a cup of coffee (diameter5 cm) at just the
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

10 cm/sec

Explanation:

using formula velocity = frequency * wave length

where: f=1/T

1/1=1

so frequency will be 1HZ ( due to 1 oscillation in 1 sec)

wave length will be 10 cm because while sloshing cup hold (1/2) half full length.

velocity = 1*10 = 10cm/sec.

velocity = 10 cm/sec

Scientists usually write reports about their investigations. Why do they do this?
worty [1.4K]
As for me, the reson why scientists usually write reports about their investigations is because they want to <span>d. to communicate their work to other scientist. As far as I am concerned in this sphere they have to get many other opnions besides their own in order to complete or expand one that they have made up. Hope it helps :)</span>

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!
