Answer:

Power = 576 Watts

Explanation:

The electrical power of an electric circuit can be defined as a measure of the rate at which energy is either produced or absorbed in the circuit.

Mathematically, electrical power is given by the formula;

Electrical \; power = current * voltage

This ultimately implies that, the quantity (current times voltage ) is electrical power and it is measured (S.I units) in Watt (W).

Given the following data;

Resistance = 100 ohms

Voltage = 240 V

To find the power rating of the heater;

Power = V²/R

Where;

V is the voltage.

R is the resistance.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Power = 240²/100

Power = 57600/100

Power = 576 Watts

On the graph of voltage versus current, which line represents a 2.0 Ω resistor?​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<h2>line B</h2>

Explanation:

According to ohm's law V = IR where;

V i sthe supply voltage (in volts)

I = supply current (in amperes)

R = resistance (in ohms)

In order to calculate the line that is equal to 2ohms, we need to calculate the slope of each line using the formula.

For line B, R = ΔV/ΔI

R = V₂-V₁/I₂-I₁

R = 14.0-4.0/7.0-2.0

R = 10.0/5.0

R = 2.0ohms

Since the slope of line B is equal to 2 ohms, this shows that the line B is the one that represents the 2ohms resistor.

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of
Marat540 [252]

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no

A tin atom has 50 electrons. Electrons in the ________ subshell experience the lowest effective nuclear charge.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

5p

Explanation:

We are given that a tin has 50 electrons.

We have to find in which subshell electrons experience the lowest effective nuclear charge.

We know that the electron in outermost shell experience the lowest effective nuclear charge.

Electronic configuration is given by

50=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^24d^{10}5p^2

Outer most sub-shell is 5p. Therefore, 5p subshell experience the lowest effective nuclear charge because the distance of 5p sub-shell is large from nucleus.

Answer: 5p
