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 ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Enter your answer in the provided box. The mathematical equation for studying the photoelectric effect is hν = W + 1 2 meu2 wher
siniylev [52]

Answer:

v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

By Einstein's Equation of photoelectric effect we know that

h\nu = W + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

h\nu = energy of the photons incident on the metal

W = minimum energy required to remove photons from metal

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kinetic energy of the electrons ejected out of the plate

now we know that it requires 351 nm wavelength of photons to just eject out the electrons

so we can say

W = \frac{hc}{351 nm}

here we know that

hc = 1242 eV-nm

now we have

W = \frac{1242}{351} = 3.54 eV

now by energy equation above when photon of 303 nm incident on the surface

\frac{1242 eV-nm}{303 nm} = 3.54 eV + \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \times 10^{-31})v^2

4.1 eV = 3.54 eV + (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

(4.1 - 3.54)\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

8.96 \times 10^{-20} = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s

For a certain optical medium the speed of light varies from a low value of 1.90 × 10 8 m/s for violet light to a high value of 2
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56

b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.

c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.

Explanation:

a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.

Mathematically,

n = \frac{c}{v}

The speed of violet light in the object is 1.9 * 10^8 m/s.

The speed of red light in the object is 2 * 10^8 m/s

Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:

n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{1.9 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.56

and for red light, it is:

n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{2 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.5

Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.

b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.

n = \frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)}

The angle of incidence is 30°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

1.56 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.56}  = \frac{0.5}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3205\\\\r = 18.7^o

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

1.5 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.5}  = \frac{0.5}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3333\\\\r = 19.5^o

The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.

c. The angle of incidence is 60°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

1.56 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.56}  = \frac{0.8660}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5551\\\\r = 33.7^o

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

1.5 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.5}  = \frac{0.8660}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5773\\\\r = 35.3^o

The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.

Each level in a food chain contains less energy than the one below it because some energy is
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Because some of the energy is dissipated in the metabolic activities such as digestion and maintaining the warmth of the body of the organism at each level.

Explanation:

Food chain is the sequential chain of energy transfer from one onrgaanism at a trophic level to another organism at the other trophic level. Autotrophs receive the energy from the sun and prepare their own food. Autotrophs then get consumed by the primary heterotrophs and further primary heterotrophs by the secondary heterotrophs. When the secondary heterotrophs die they are then consumed by the scavangers and decayed by the micro-organisms in to the soil which finally help the autotrophs (plants) in their growth.

At each trophic level of the food chain the energy does not gets completely transferred because the organisms also spend some energy in search of the food and the processing of food is also an energy consuming process.

The energy is also used in combating the climatic conditions and predators for the survival.
