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

An open pipe of length 0.39m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 1400Hz. What is the distance from the center of
Gnoma [55]

Length of the pipe = 0.39 m

Third harmonic frequency = 1400 Hz

For the third harmonic:

Wavelength = \frac{2L}{3}

The center of the open pipe will host a node and the nearest anti - node from the center will be at the 0.25 × wavelength

Distance from center  = 0.25 × wavelength

Distance = 0.25 x \frac{2L}{3}

Plugging the value of the length of the pipe (L) = 0.39 m = 39 cm

Distance = 0.25 x \frac{2 \times 39}{3}

Distance from the center to the nearest anti - node = 6.5 cm

Hence, the nearest distance to the anti - node from the center = 6.5 cm

So, option C is correct.

What is called gravitational potential energy?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Potential gravitational energy is the energy that the body has due to the Earth's gravitational attraction. In this way, the potential gravitational energy depends on the position of the body in relation to a reference level.

Explain why a diverging lens is used to correct nearsightedness (difficulty seeing objects far away).
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

so that it can diverge the light to make sure that it focused on the ratina and the image is formed.

Explanation:

nearsightedness is when the light is focused in front of the ratina and for an image to be formed in the eye, the light must be focused on the ratina so to correct that we use the diverging lenses so that it will diverge the light and allow the cornea and the lens to converge it so it is focused on the ratina.
