Answer:

16.67m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance Pete drove  = 300m

Time taken  = 18s

Unknown:

Speed  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

   Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Speed  = \frac{300}{18}  = 16.67m/s

An electric heater used to boil small amounts of water consists of a 15-Ω coil that is immersed directly in the water. It operat
Allisa [31]

Answer:

t = 1120 seconds

Explanation:

Law of Conservation of Energy: It states that energy can neither be created or destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another

The heater converts electric energy to heat energy.

According to the law of conservation of Energy,

Heat supplied by the heater = heat gained by the water.

Heat supplied by the heater = (V²/R)t, Where V = voltage, R = Resistance, t = Time.

Heat gained by the water = cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, θ₂= final temperature of water, θ₁= initial temperature of water.

∴ (V²/R)t =  cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Making  t the subject of the equation,

t =  cm(θ₂ -θ₁) ×R/V²

Where c= 4200 Jkg/K, m=0.80 kg, R = 15 Ω, V = 60 V, θ₁= 20°C, θ₂ = the normal boiling point of water = 100°C

∴ t = (4200×0.8)(100 -20)×15/60²

t = (3360×80×15)/3600

t = 4032000/3600 = 1120 seconds

∴  The time required by the heater to raise the temperature of water to normal boiling point is 1120 seconds.

I need help with this

We have here what is known as parallel combination of resistors.

Using the relation:

\frac{1}{ r_{eff} } = \frac{1}{ r_{1} } + \frac{1}{ r_{2} } + \frac{1}{ r_{3} }.. . + \frac{1}{ r_{n} } \\
And then we can turn take the inverse to get the effective resistance.

Where r is the magnitude of the resistance offered by each resistor.

In this case we have,
(every term has an mho in the end)
\frac{1}{10000} + \frac{1}{2000} + \frac{1}{1000} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{1} ) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{31}{20}) \\ \\ = \frac{31}{20000}

To ger effective resistance take the inverse:
we get,
\frac{20000}{31} \: ohm \\ = 645 .16 \: ohm

The potential difference is of 9V.

So the current flowing using ohm's law,

V = IR

will be, 0.0139 Amperes.
