How much energy does it take to boil water for pasta? For a one-pound box of pasta

Physics

alexandr1967 [171]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a. 164°F

b. 91.\overline 1 \  ^{\circ} C

c. 140.\overline 4 kJ

Explanation:

The starting temperature of the water, T₁ = 48F

The temperature at which the water boils, T₂ = 212°F

a. The difference between the initial and the boiling water temperature, ΔT = T₂ - T₁

Therefore;

ΔT = 212°F - 48°F = 164°F

The temperature by which he temperature must be raised, ΔT = 164°F

b. 48°F = ((48 - 32)×5/9)°C = (80/9)°C = 8.\overline 8 \ ^{\circ} C

212°F = ((212 - 32)×5/9)°C = 100°C

∴ ΔT = 100°C - 8.\overline 8 \ ^{\circ} C = 9.\overline 1 \  ^{\circ} C

c. The heat capacity of the water = The heat required to increase four quartz of water by 1 °C = 15.8 kJ

∴ The heat required to raise four quartz of water by 9.\overline 1 \  ^{\circ} C, ΔQ = 15.8 kJ/°C × 9.\overline 1 \  ^{\circ} C = 140.\overline 4 kJ.

A 70.0 kg person climbs stairs, gaining 3.90 meters in height. Find the work done (in J) to accomplish this task.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 2675.4 J

Given:

mass, m = 70.0 kg

height, H = 3.90 m

Solution:

According to the question, as the person jumps the stairs up, there is an increase in the potential energy of the person which is provided by the work done in climbing the stairs and is given by:

Work done, W = mgH

where

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^{2}[tex][tex]W = 70.0\times 9.8\times 3.90 = 2675.4 J

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}

P\propto D^2

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}

\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95

D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

A 10cm long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a)  v=4.0m/s

b)  B=2.958T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Wire Length l=10cm=>0.10m

Resistance R=0.35

Force F=1.0N

Power P=4.0W

a)

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

P=Fv

Therefore

v=\frac{P}{F}

v=\frac{4.0}{1.0}

v=4.0m/s

b)

Generally the equation for Magnetic Field is mathematically given by

B=\frac{\sqrt{PR}}{vl}

B=\frac{\sqrt{4*0.35}}{4*0.10}

B=2.958T
