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

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

3. Why is the term cold blooded a misconception? Explain​
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The term “cold-blooded” implies that these animals are in a never-ending struggle to stay warm. That really isn't correct. A cold-blooded animal can warm up their blood by being in the sun for hours.

Different between group IA and IIA elements​
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Group IA elements have only one valency electron while Group IIA have two valency electrons.

Group IA elements have cations with higher charge density hence polarizing anions easier resulting into covalent character while Group IIA elements have cations with lower charge density hence difficulty in distorting anions resulting into a ionic character. This is due to difference in cationic radii and charges

How speed and position affect the energy possess by an object?​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

more speed means that an object has more energy, now if an object's place is something such as a hill, the potential energy will increase meaning an object will have more speed and acceleration. this is because you have the earth's gravity helping you out when the object goes downhill, giving it the higher potential energy

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

E_1 = E_2

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}

now we will have

\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}

now square root both sides

\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}

now we have

\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1

so we have

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})
