Answer:

a. Energy = 28800000 Joules

b. Energy = 8 Kwh

c. Cost = $4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 1000 Watts

Time = 8 hours

Cost = $0.5 per KWh

Conversion:

1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds

8 hour = 8 * 3600 = 28800 seconds

a. To find much electrical energy, in joules;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 1000 * 28800

Energy = 28800000 Joules

b. To find how much energy is that in kilowatt hours;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 1000 * 8

Energy = 8000 Watt-hour = 8000/1000 = 8 Kwh (1 Kilowatts is equal to 1000 watts).

c. To calculate the cost of using this heater;

Cost = 8 * 0.5

Cost = $4

A force of 350N is applied to a body. If the work done is 40kJ, what is the distance through which the body moved?
Studentka2010 [4]

The distance covered by the body is 114.3 m

Explanation:

The work done by a force exerted on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the object in this problem, we have

F = 350 N is the force applied

W=40 kJ = 40,000 J is the work done

\theta=0^{\circ} if we assume that the force is applied parallel to the motion of the object

Solving for d, we find the distance covered by the object:

d=\frac{W}{F cos \theta}=\frac{40,000}{(350)(cos 0)}=114.3 m

What vertical distance Δy does a free-falling particle travel from the moment it starts to the moment it reaches a speed of 7.9
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

3.2 m

Explanation:

The equation to use to solve this problem is:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2 a \Delta y

where

v_f is the final velocity

v_i is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

\Delta y is the distance covered

For the particle in free-fall in this problem, we have

v_i = 0 (it starts from rest)

v_f = 7.9 m/s

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

By re-arranging the equation, we can find the distance travelled:

\Delta y = \frac{v_f^2 -v_i^2}{2a}=\frac{(7.9 m/s)^2-0^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=3.2 m

11. Scientists put a sample of water into a sealed tank. Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. At first, the water was a liquid.
leva [86]

Answer:

c . slower and started moving in place.

Explanation:

Matter can exist generally in three phases, as a solid, liquid or gas. But it can be transformed from one phase to another by the removal or application of heat energy.

The water was initially in a liquid form in the sealed tank until energy was transferred out of the substance. Thus, this causes a change of state in which the water turns to a solid. Whereby during the process, the molecules of the water moved slowly until they are fixed at a point, and vibrates individually at their individual point.

Therefore the molecules of water moved slower and stated moving in place (i.e vibrating at a point). The water turns to an ice.
