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 mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an
Nadya [2.5K]
Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is 
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
   = (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
   = 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

Sphere 1 with radius R_1 has positive charge q, Sphere 2 with radius 4.50 R_1 is far from sphere 1 and initially uncharged. The
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

capacitance of sphere 2 will be 4.5 times sphere 1

a ) when spheres are in contact they will have same potential finally . So

V_1 / V_2 = 1

b )

Charge will be distributed in the ratio of their capacity

charge on sphere1 = q  x 1 / ( 1 + 4.5 )

= q / 5.5

fraction = 1 / 5.5

c ) charge on sphere 2

= q x 4.5 / 5.5

fraction = 4.5 / 5.5

d ) surface charge density of sphere 1

= q /( 5.5 x A ) where A is surface area

surface charge density of sphere 2

= q x 4.5 /( 5.5 x 4.5² A ) where A is surface area

= q  /( 5.5 x 4.5 A )

q_1/q_2 = 4.5

an Olympic runner leaps over a hurdle.if the runner initial vertical speed is 2.2m/s how much will the runners center of mass be
Snowcat [4.5K]
Supposing the runner is condensed to a point and moves upward at 2.2 m/s.
It takes a time = 2.2/g = 2.2/9.8 = 0.22 seconds to increase to max height. 
Now looking at this condition in opposite - that is the runner is at max height and drops back to earth in 0.22 s (symmetry of this kind of motion). 
From what height does any object take 0.22 s to fall to earth (supposing there is no air friction)? 
d = 1/2gt²= (0.5)(9.8)(0.22)²= 0.24 m

Through which type of media do mechanical waves, such as sound, move the fastest?
monitta

 Mechanical waves travel the fastest in solids and liquids because the molecules are more closely packed together than gases, so energy is transferred from one particle to another particle faster<span>.</span>
