The resistance of an electric heater is 50 Ω when connected to 120 V. How much energy does it use during 15 min of operation?

Physics

STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

I = V/R = 120 V/ 50 Ω = 2.4 A

P = VI = 120(2.4) = 288 W = 288 J/s

288 J/s (15 min(60s / min)) = 259,200 J

or the electric company would charge for

288 W / (1000 W/kW)•(15/60) hr = 0.072 kW•hr

At $0.20 / kW•hr, that would be under 1½ cents

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at rate of 1.1×10^6 kg/s and falls 49.4 m. How much power is generated by the fallin
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

<em>The power generated is =  5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>

Explanation:

Power: Power can be defined as the time rate of doing work. The S.I unit of power is <em>Watt(W).</em>

<em>Mathematically,</em>

<em>Power (P) = Work done/time or Energy/time</em>

P = mgh/t............................... Equation 1

P = δgh............................. Equation 2

Where δ = fall rate, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

<em>Given: </em>δ = 1.1×10⁶ kg/s, h = 49.4 m g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 2

P = 1.1×10⁶×49.4×9.81

P = 533.08×10⁶

<em>P = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.</em>

<em>Thus the power generated is =  5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>

Light intensity is?
Fittoniya [83]
The correct answer is:
<span>The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area

In fact, light intensity is defined as the light power per unit of area:
</span>I= \frac{P}{A}
<span>but the power is the energy carried by the light per unit of time:
</span>P= \frac{E}{t}
<span>this means that the intensity can be rewritten as
</span>I= \frac{E}{tA}<span>
So, it's basically the rate of energy (per unit of time) through a given surface.</span>

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

12 km/h

Explanation:

Average Speed = Distance / Time (or rate)

Pick a point on the graph for Ian and plug in values.

For example, 20 minutes -> 4km

Hence, Average speed = 4km ÷ 20 minutes = 0.2 km/min

0.2 km/min × 60 = 12 km/h

How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurements of the same volume of water
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The inaccurate measurements must be similar to the other two measurements (ex; 590, 589, 599), but different from the actual volume of water. (Ex; the actual volume is let say.. 100, but you measured 50, 49, 40)
