Answer:

Resistance, R = 60 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

For the first heater;

Voltage, V = 120 V

Resistance, R = 15 Ohms

For the second heater;

Voltage, V = 240 V

To find the resistance in the second heater;

First of all, we would determine the power rating of the heaters using the formula below;

Power = voltage²/resistance

Power = 120²/15

Power = 14400/15

Power = 960 Watts

Next, we find the resistance in the second heater;

Power = V²/R

960 = 240²/R

Cross-multiplying, we have;

960R = 57600

R = 57600/960

R = 60 Ohms

How much water
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The mass is  m  =  3.75 \  kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The initial temperature is  T_1 =  15^oC

      The final  temperature is  T_2 =  100 ^o C  \ (boiling point )

Generally the maximum heat produced by  1  Liter   of  natural gas is  9000 \ cal

 So the amount of heat produced by 100 L is  

              E = 9000 * 100

=>           E = 9000 00 \  cal

Generally given that the efficiency is  \eta =  0.35

Then actual heat received by the water is

         H  =  0.35 *  E

=> H  =  0.35 *   9000 00

=> H  =  315000 \  cal

Converting to kcal  

=> H  =  315000 \  cal = \frac{315000}{1000} =  315 \ kcal

Generally the specific heat of water is  

       c_w  =  1 kcal/ kg \cdot ^oC

Generally the heat received by the water is mathematically represented as

       H  =  m *  c_w  *  (T_2 - T_1)

=>     315  =  m *  1   *  ( 100  - 15 )

=>     m  =  3.75 \  kg

When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to measure the coefficient of friction , we apply external force to move the body . When external force comes in motion , we adjust the external force so that it moves with zero acceleration or uniform velocity . In this case external force becomes equal to kinetic frictional force and then net force becomes zero because

net force = mass x acceleration = m x 0 = 0

Now frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction

so F = μ mg where F is external force applied

μ = F / mg

Hence , to make external force equal to frictional force , it is necessary to make acceleration of body zero .

A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = .35. If the puck feels a normal force (FN) of 5 N, what is the frict
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force is  F_f =  1.75 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The coefficient of kinetic force is  μk = 0.35

     The normal force felt by the puck is  F_N  =  5 \  N

Generally the frictional force that acts on the puck is mathematically represented as

          F_f =  \mu_k  *  F_N

=>       F_f =  0.35  *  5

=>       F_f =  1.75 \  N

Describe the climate, landforms,and existing plant and animal life during the cretaceous period
Fiesta28 [93]
The climate<span> was generally warmer and more humid than today, probably because of very active volcanism associated with unusually high rates of seafloor spreading. 
</span><span>The first placental mammals appeared at the beginning of the Cretaceous. The Cretaceous saw the rise and extinction of the toothed birds, Hesperornis and Ichthyornis. The earliest fossils of birds resembling loons, grebes, cormorants, pelicans, flamingos, ibises, rails, and sandpipers were from the Cretaceous.</span>

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J
rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,  

K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2} = 40 J
