Answer:
true
Explanation:
The law of conservation of charge states that whenever electrons are transferred between objects, the total charge remains the same.
Complete question:
A block of solid lead sits on a flat, level surface. Lead has a density of 1.13 x 104 kg/m3. The mass of the block is 20.0 kg. The amount of surface area of the block in contact with the surface is 2.03*10^-2*m2, What is the average pressure (in Pa) exerted on the surface by the block? Pa
Answer:
The average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa
Explanation:
Given;
density of the lead, ρ = 1.13 x 10⁴ kg/m³
mass of the lead block, m = 20 kg
surface area of the area of the block, A = 2.03 x 10⁻² m²
Determine the force exerted on the surface by the block due to its weight;
F = mg
F = 20 x 9.8
F = 196 N
Determine the pressure exerted on the surface by the block
P = F / A
where;
P is the pressure
P = 196 / (2.03 x 10⁻²)
P = 9655.17 N/m²
P = 9655.17 Pa
Therefore, the average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa
Answer:
4 A
Explanation:
The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:
where
V is the voltage
R is the resistance
I is the current
The equation can also be rewritten as
from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.
In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:
R ' = 2R
So the new current is
so the current is halved.

See the answers below.
Explanation:
We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.
A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.
Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.
![500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=500%20%5BW%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B6min%7D%7B1day%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1day%7D%7B24hr%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1hr%7D%7B60min%7D%20%5D%3D2.083%20%5BW%5D)
The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?
We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.
![0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.075%5BkW%5D%2A5.6%5B%5Cfrac%7Bcents%7D%7Bkw%2Ah%7D%7D%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B24hr%7D%7B1day%7D%5D%2A%5B1week%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B7days%7D%7B1week%7D%20%5D%3D70.56%20%5Bcents%5D)
A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?
Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).
Therefore.
![Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Effic%20%3D%20E_%7Bobtained%7D%2FE_%7Bdelivered%7D%5C%5C0.85%3DE_%7Bobtained%7D%2F1200%5C%5CE_%7Bobtained%7D%3D1020%5BJ%5D)
Answer:
an increase in gasses that absorb heat
Explanation:
Greenhouse effect refers to the gradual increase in the earth's temperature due to an increase in the concentration of certain gases in the atmosphere. These gases are called greenhouse gases and they include; water vapour, nitrogen 1 oxide, carbon IV oxide etc. Green house effect is said to occur when heat radiating outwards from the earth surface towards space is trapped close to the earth's surface due to the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse effect leads to increase in the temperature of the earth, melting of polar ice caps and possibly flooding due to a rise in sea levels.
Greenhouse gases act as glass in a greenhouse. They allow heat to pass through onto the earth surface but trap the heat and prevent it from being radiated outwards back to space. Thereby increasing the surface temperature of the earth.
