Answer:

Solar cookers benefit the environment by:

Using clean, renewable, and readily available solar energy as fuel.

Preserving natural resources by not requiring the use of wood or other biomass fuels to cook.

Not producing dangerous emissions which pollute local environments and contribute to climate change.

Charge X has twice as much charge as particle Y. The two charges are placed near each other. Compared to the force on particle X

Art [367]

The force on charge Y is the same as the force on charge X

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"

In this problem, we can identify object A as charge X and object B as charge Y. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by

$F=k\frac{q_x q_y}{r^2}$ (1)

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_x, q_y$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

According to Newton's third law, therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted by charge X on charge Y is the same as the force exerted by charge Y on charge X (and it is given by eq.(1)), however their directions are opposite.

What type of ethic is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth

katrin [286]

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A anthropocentric

B frontier

C land

D biocentric

I think the correct answer is option A. It is anthropocentric the type of ethic that is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A toaster using a Nichrome heating element operates on 120 V. When it is switched on at 28 ∘С, the heating element carries an in

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The final temperature of the element = 262.67°C

The power dissipated in the heating element initially = 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A = 147.60 W

Explanation:

Our given parameters include;

A Nichrome heating element operates on 120 V.

Voltage (V) = 120V

Initial Current (I₁) = 1.36 A

Initial Temperature (T₁) = 28°C

Final Current (I₂) = 1.23 A

Final Temperature (T₂) = unknown ????

Temperature dependencies of resistance is given by:

$R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]$ ---------------------- (1)

in which R₁ is the resistance at temperature T₁

$R_{T(2)$ is the resistance at temperature T₂

Given that V= IR

R = $\frac{V}{I}$

Therefore, the resistance at temperature 28°C is;

$R_{28}= \frac{120V}{1.36A}$

= 88.24Ω

$R_{T(2)$ = $\frac{120V}{1.23A}$

= 97.56Ω

From (1) above;

$R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]$

97.56 = 88.24 [ 1 + 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)]

$\frac{97.56}{88.24}= 1+(4.5*10^{-4})(T-28^0C)$

1.1056 - 1 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)

0.1056 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(T₂-28°C)

$\frac{0.1056}{4.5*10^{-4}}= T-28^0C$

T - 28° C = 234.67

T = 234.67 + 28° C

T = 262.67 ° C

(b)

What is the power dissipated in the heating element initially and when the current reaches 1.23 A

The power dissipated in the heating element initially can be calculated as:

P = I²₁R₂₈

P = (1.36A)²(88.24Ω)

P = 163.209 W

P ≅ 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A can be calculated as:

$P= I^2_2R_{T^0C$

P = (1.23)²(97.56Ω)

P = 147.598524

P ≅ 147.60 W

In 1610, galileo used his telescope to discover four prominent moons around jupiter. their mean orbital radii a and periods t ar

katrin2010 [14]

Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}$

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

now for part a)

$r = 4.22 * 10^8 m$

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part B)

$r = 6.71 * 10^8 m$

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part c)

$r = 10.7 * 10^8 m$

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}$

$M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg$

PART D)

$r = 18.8 * 10^8 m$

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}$

$M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg$

The heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A. Initially A is at 300 K and B at 450 K. They are placed in thermal cont

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The final temperature of both objects is 400 K

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;

Q = cΔT

where;

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

The heat transferred by the object A per unit mass is given by;

Q(A) = caΔT

where;

ca is the specific heat capacity of object A

The heat transferred by the object B per unit mass is given by;

Q(B) = cbΔT

where;

cb is the specific heat capacity of object B

The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A

Q(A) = -Q(B)

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

The final temperature of the two objects is given by

$T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b}$

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

$T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b} \\\\T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + 2C_aT_b}{C_a + 2C_a}\\\\T_2 = \frac{c_a(T_a + 2T_b)}{3C_a} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_a + 2T_b}{3}\\\\T_2 = \frac{300 + (2*450)}{3}\\\\T_2 = 400 \ K$

Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.
