Water is boiled at 300 kPa pressure in a pressure cooker. The cooker initially contains 3 kg of water. Once boiling started, it
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The average rate of energy transfer to the cooker is 1.80 kW.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure of boiled water = 300 kPa

Mass of water = 3 kg

Time = 30 min

Dryness friction of water = 0.5

Suppose, what is the average rate of energy transfer to the cooker?

We know that,

The specific enthalpy of evaporate at 300 kPa pressure

h_{f}=561.47\ kJ/kg

h_{fg}=2163.8\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the enthalpy of water at initial state

h_{1}=h_{f}

h_{1}=561.47\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the enthalpy of water at final state

Using formula of enthalpy

h_{2}=h_{f}+xh_{fg}

Put the value into the formula

h_{2}=561.47+0.5\times2163.8

h_{2}=1643.37\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the rate of energy transfer to the cooker

Using formula of rate of energy

Q=\dfrac{m(h_{2}-h_{1})}{t}

Put the value into the formula

Q=\dfrac{3\times(1643.37-561.47)}{30\times60}

Q=1.80\ kW

Hence, The average rate of energy transfer to the cooker is 1.80 kW.

Why doesnt a ball roll on forever after being kicked at a soccer game
bogdanovich [222]
Because, gravity and friction, gravity will pull ball down and friction gonna slow down ball. Also wind resistance and probably a lot of more, like geometry of ball.

Kruka [31]
The answer is letter A. meteorite bombardment.
During the Earth's earliest beginning, it went through a period of catastrophic and intense formation. By 3-8- 4.1 billion years ago, Earth's atmosphere was never the same as today. This is because of its formation during the pre-Cambrian period whereby t<span>he Earth formed under so much heat and pressure that it formed as a molten planet.
</span>

Earth was bombarded continuously by the remnants of the dust and debris — like asteroids, meteors and comets — until it formed into a solid sphere, pulled into orbit around the sun and began to cool down during the Hellish period (4.5 to 3.8 billion years ago).

the speed of light in a certain medium is 0.6c. find critical angle , if the index of refraction is 1.67​
baherus [9]

Answer:

\theta_c = 36.78^o

Explanation:

The relationship between the refractive index and the critical angle is given as follows:

\eta = \frac{1}{Sin\ \theta_c} \\\\Sin\ \theta_c = \frac{1}{\eta}\\\\\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{\eta} )

where,

η = refractive index = 1.67

θc = critical angle =?

Therefore,

\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{1.67} )

\theta_c = 36.78^o
