Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

power rating of the heater P= 1010 W

voltage of the heater V= 115 volts

current taken by the heater I= ?

We can apply the power formula to solve for the current in the heater

i.e P= IV

Making I the current subject of formula we have

I= P/V

Substituting our given data into the expression for I we have

I=1010/115= 8.78 A

<h2 /><h2><em>Hence the current when the unit/heater is operating is 8.78 Amp</em></h2>

A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

$t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s$

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m

nirvana33 [79]

<span>Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen.</span> Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

Two point charges are separated by 10 cm, with an attractive force between them of 15 N. Find the force between them when they a

suter [353]

Answer:

(a) the force is 8.876 N

(b) the magnitude of each charge is 4.085 μC

Explanation:

Part (a)

Given;

coulomb's constant, K = 8.99 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

distance between two charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

force between the two charges, F = 15 N

when the distance between the charges changes to 13 cm (0.13 m)

force between the two charges, F = ?

Apply Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\let \ Kq_1q_2 = C\\\\F =\frac{C}{r^2} \\\\C = Fr^2\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\F_2 =\frac{F_1r_1^2}{r_2^2} \\\\F_2 = \frac{15*0.1^2}{0.13^2} \\\\F_2 = 8.876 \ N$

Part (b)

the magnitude of each charge, if they have equal magnitude

$F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2}$

where;

F is the force between the charges

K is Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge

r is the distance between the charges

$F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2} \\\\Q = \sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{K} } \\\\Q = \sqrt{\frac{15*(0.1)^2}{8.99*10^9} } = 4.085 *10^{-6} \ C\\\\Q = 4.085 \ \mu C$
