You are cooking breakfast for yourself and a friend using a 1,140-W waffle iron and a 510-W coffeepot. Usually, you operate thes

e appliances from a 110-V outlet for 0.500 h each day. (a) At 12 cents per kWh, how much do you spend to cook breakfast during a 30.0 day period

Answer:

The cost is 297 cents.

Explanation:

Power of iron, P = 1140 W

Power of coffee pot, P' = 510 W

Voltage, V = 110 V

Time, t = 0.5 h each day

Cost = 12 cents per kWh

(a) Total energy

E = P x t + P' x t

E = 1140 x 0.5 x 60 x 60 + 510 x 0.5 x 60 x 60

E = 2052000 + 918000 = 2970000 J

1 kWh = 3.6 x 10^6 J

E = 0.825 kWh

For 30 days

E' = 0.825 x 30 = 24.75 kWh

So, the cost is

= 12 x 24.75 = 297 cents

One electron collides elastically with a second electron initially at rest. After the collision, the radii of their trajectories

morpeh [17]

Answer:

63.750KeV

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of second electron, $u_2=0$

Radius, $r_1=0$

$r_2=2.3 cm=\frac{2.3}{100}=0.023 m$

1 m=100 cm

Magnetic field,B=0.0370 T

We have to determine the energy of the incident electron.

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg$

Charge on an electron, $q=-1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Velocity, $v=\frac{Bqr}{m}$

Using the formula

Speed of electron, $v_1=\frac{Bqr_1}{m}=\frac{0.0370\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}=0$

Speed of second electron, $v_2=\frac{0.0370\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.023}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$v_2=1.5\times 10^8 m/s$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2_1+\frac{1}{2}mv^2_2$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $0+\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31})(1.5\times 10^8)^2=1.02\times 10^{-14} J$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $\frac{1.02\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=63750eV=\frac{63750}{1000}=63.750KeV$

1KeV=1000eV

34kurt

Answer:

$\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$ = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

ρ_body = m / V_body

m = ρ_body V_body

W = ρ_body V_body g

we substitute

ρ_liquid g V_liquid = ρ_body g V_body

$\frac{\rho_{body} }{\rho_{liquid} } } = \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{body} } }$

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

V = A h_bogy

Thus

$\frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }$

we substitute

5/9 = $\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have $m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A}$ , where:

$l$ is the length

$m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3$

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

$\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}$

$A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m^2$

Using this Area, we find the diameter of the wire:

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}$

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-8} }{\pi}}$

$D = 0.00011 \ m = 1.1 \times 10^ {-4} = 0.11 \ mm$

To find the length, we multiply the two equations stated initially:

$mR = d\rho l^2\\\\l^2 = \frac{mR}{d\rho} \\\l^2 = \frac {1.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.3}{8960 \times 1.7\times 10^{-8}}$

$l^2 = 8.534\\l = 2.92 \ m$
