Kelvins scale is absolute.... we would read it degrees Kelvin if the unit would be written °K but it is only K.

if a runners power is 400 watts as she runs, how much chemical energy does she convert into other forms in 10 minutes
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Energy converted = 240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules

Explanation:

Recall that Power is the rate at which energy is transferred therefore defined by the mathematical formula: Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}

Since the information on the power of the runner is given, as well as the time the energy conversion takes place, we can then use this equation to find how much energy is been converted. Notice that we just need to change the given time *10 minutes) into the appropriate units  (seconds)to get the answer in SI units of energy (Joules). The conversion of 10 minutes into seconds is done by multiplying : 10 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 600 seconds.

We use this then to find the energy converted by the runner:

Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}\\400 \,W = \frac{E}{600\,sec} \\400 \,W * 600\,sec=E\\E=240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules

In your experiment, you measure a total deflection of 4.12 cm when an electric field of 1.10×103V/m is established between the p
Bond [772]

Answer:

B_0 = 1.69 \times 10^{-4}\ T

Explanation:

given,

total deflection = 4.12 cm

Electric field = 1.1 ×10³ V/m

plate length = 6 cm

distance between them = 12 cm

using formula

v_0 = \sqrt{\dfrac{q\epsilon_0d}{ym}(\dfrac{d}{2}+L)}

q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

d = 0.06 m

L = 0.12 m

v_0 = \sqrt{\dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 1.1 \times 10^{3}\times 0.06}{0.0412\times 9.11 \times 10^{-31} }(\dfrac{0.06}{2}+0.12)}

v_0 = 6496355.63 m/s

v_0 = \dfrac{E}{B_0}

B_0 = \dfrac{E}{v_0}

B_0 = \dfrac{1.1\times 10^{3}}{6496355.63}

B_0 = 1.69 \times 10^{-4}\ T

What is the wavelength (in air) of a 13.0 khz vlf radio wave?
bonufazy [111]
Since,
Speed = Frequency * WaveLength

=> WaveLength = Speed / Frequency --- (A)

Frequency = 13.0 kHz.
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, their speed is equals to the speed of light. Therefore,
Speed = C = 3 *  10^{8}  m/ s^{2}

Plug in the values in equation(A):

A => WaveLength = \frac{3 * 10^{8}}{13*10^{3}}

Ans: Wavelength = 23.077 kilometers.

Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.
Tcecarenko [31]
The energy of a photon is given by
E=hf
where
h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is 
f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J
