Answer:

The temperature after half an hour is 19.3002^{\circ}

Solution:

As per the question;

Metabolic rate of the person is 3.0105 J/h

Temperature, T = 19.30^{\circ}

Mass of the water, m_{w} = 1.2103 kg

Time duration, t = 0.5 h = 30 min = 180 s

Now,

Heat, Q = ms\Delta t

Thus heat transfer in half an hour:

Q = 3.0105\times 0.5 = 1.505 J

Now, the temperature of water after half an hour, T' is given by:

Q = m_{w}s\Delta T = ms(T' - T)

where

s = 4186 J

1.505 = 1.21103\times 4186\times (T' - 19.30^{\circ})

T' = 19.3002 ^{\circ}

If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time.  You will also hear it described as work per unit time.  The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time).  This is expressed as a fraction as J/s.  If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

the final kinetic energy is 0.9eV

Explanation:

To find the kinetic energy of the electron just after the collision with hydrogen atoms you take into account that the energy of the electron in the hydrogen atoms are given by the expression:

E_n=\frac{-13.6eV}{n^2}

you can assume that the shot electron excites the electron of the hydrogen atom to the first excited state, that is

E_{n_2-n_1}=-13.6eV[\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2}]\\\\E_{2-1}=-13.6eV[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1}]=-10.2eV

-10.2eV is the energy that the shot electron losses in the excitation of the electron of the hydrogen atom. Hence, the final kinetic energy of the shot electron after it has given -10.2eV of its energy is:

E_{k}=11.1eV-10.2eV=0.9eV

Two long current-carrying wires run parallel to each other and are separated by a distance of 5.00 cm. If the current in one wir
Darya [45]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force per unit length is 2.145 x 10⁻⁵ N/m and the direction of the force is outward or repulsive since the current in the two parallel wires are flowing in opposite direction.

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the parallel wires, r = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

current in the first wire, I₁ = 1.65 A

current in the second wire, I₂ = 3.25 A

The magnitude of the force per unit length between the two wires is calculated as follows;

\frac{F}{l} =\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r} \\\\\frac{F}{l} =\frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 1.65 \times 3.25}{2\pi \times 0.05} \\\\\frac{F}{l} = 2.145 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m

Therefore, the magnitude of the force per unit length is 2.145 x 10⁻⁵ N/m and the direction of the force is outward or repulsive since the current in the two parallel wires are flowing in opposite direction.
