If the ice absorbed 350,000 joules in 5 minutes, then it absorbed energy
at the rate of

   (350,000 joules) / (5 x 60 seconds)  =<em>  1,166-2/3 watts</em> .

Surely the ice cube didn't absorb every joule delivered to the cooking chamber,
so the microwave oven's cooking power had to be significantly more than that.

Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de
-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)

x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}

When x = 40, s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}

x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14  m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A capacitor is charged until it holds 5.0 j of energy. it is then connected across a 10-kω resistor. in 13.6 ms , the resistor d
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The capacite is C=5.32 uF using the equations of voltage and energy in capacitance  

Explanation:

The energy holds is 5 J and the resistor dissipates 2J so the energy total is 3J

Using:

V_{t}= V_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

Voltage in this case is the energy dissipated so

E_{t}= E_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{E_t} }{\sqrt{E_o} } = e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{3 J} }{\sqrt{5J} } = e^{\frac{-13.6ms}{10kw*C} }

Using the equation to find capacitance

ln 0.775= e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\ln(0.775)= ln * e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3s} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\\\ln(0.775)= {\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\C= \frac{-13.6 x10^{-3} }{10x10x^{3}*ln(0.775) }

C= 5.32x10^{-6} F

C= 5.32 uF because u is the symbol for micro that is equal to 10^{-6}

A 58 g firecracker is at rest at the origin when it explodes into three pieces. The first, with mass 12 g , moves along the x ax
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of momentum law in vector form to solve the problem .

Initial momentum = 0

momentum of 12 g piece

= .012 x 37 i since it moves along x axis .

= .444 i

momentum of 22 g

= .022 x 34 j

= .748 j

Let momentum of third piece = p

total momentum

= p + .444 i + .748 j

so

applying conservation law of momentum

p + .444 i + .748 j  = 0

p = - .444 i -  .748 j  

magnitude of p

= √ ( .444² + .748² )

= .87 kg m /s

mass of third piece = 58 - ( 12 + 22 )

= 24 g = .024 kg

if v be its velocity

.024 v = .87

v = 36.25 m / s .

What is non-point source pollution, and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?
antoniya [11.8K]

The use of pesticides in farming land is example of non-point source pollution. The area of emitting of pollution is very large. That is why, it is difficult to monitor and control this type of pollution.

Americans get their water for everyday use through aquifer. Aquifers can be conserve by avoiding high amount of chemical uses and reducing household waste. Also the sustainable use of water cause conservation of natural resource.

Aquifer are basically underground water present in ground pores. The structure of aquifer just look like sponge. The water moves through the porous surfaces of the ground.
