Answer: current I = 0.96 Ampere

Explanation:

Given that the

Resistance R = 60 Ω 

Power = 55 W

Power is the product of current and voltage. That is

P = IV ...... (1)

But voltage V = IR. From ohms law.

Substitutes V in equation (1) power is now

P = I^2R

Substitute the above parameters into the formula to get current I

55 = 60 × I^2

Make I^2 the subject of formula

I^2 = 55/60

I^2 = 0.92

I = sqr(0.92)

I = 0.957 A

Therefore, 0.96 A current must be applied.

An ideal gas expands quasi-statically and isothermally from a state with pressurepand volumeVto a state with volume 4V. How much
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Q = PV(In 4)

Explanation:

We are told that the volume expands from V to a state with volume 4V.

Thus, initial volume is V and Final volume is 4V.

We want to find How much heat is added to the expanding gas.

For an isothermal process, the work done is calculated from;

W = nRT(In(V_f/V_i))

Where;

V_f is final volume

V_i is initial volume

Thus;

W = nRT(In(4V/V))

W = nRT(In 4)

Now, from ideal gas equation, we know that;

PV = nRT

Thus;

W = PV(In 4)

Now from first law of thermodynamics, we know that internal energy is zero and thus; Q = W

Where Q is quantity of heat

Thus;

Q = PV(In 4)

A cube at 101 °C radiates heat at a rate of 67 J/s. If its surface temperature is increased to 166 °C, the rate at which it will
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The rate at which it will radiate heat is closest to 127.2J.

Explanation:

According to Stefan's law, the heat radiated by a black body can be written as:

\frac{dH}{dt} is directly proprtional to the  T^{4}.

where H is the amount of heat radiated and T is the surface temperature .

<u>Example</u> : The heat is transferred by radiation and an example of heat transferred by radiation is the sunlight reaching earth from sun.

<u>Note</u> : Here the temperature is expressed in Kelvin.

  • Initial rate of heat , \frac{dH_{1}}{dt}=67J/s
  • Final rate of heat ,  \frac{dH_{2}}{dt}= unknown
  • Initial temperature , T_{1}=374K
  • Final temperature , T_{2}=439K

\frac{H_1}{T_{1}^4}=\frac{H_2}{T_{2}^4}

H_{2}=67\times1.898

H_{2}=127.2.

The rate at which it will radiate heat is closest to 127.2J.
