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.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Because of the frictional force, the net force will oppose direction of the block and be directed towards the left even tho the spring exerts no force at this point

uppose a wheel is initially rotating at 10.0 rad/s while undergoing constant angular acceleration reaching a speed of 30.0 rad/s
Paul [167]

Answer:

t = 22.2 s

Explanation:

angular distance covered in the 36.0 s is

θ = ω(avg)t = ½(10.0 + 30.0)36 = 720 radians

720/2 = 360 radians

α = Δω/t = (30 - 10)/36 = 5/9 rad/s²

θ = ω₀t + ½αt²

360 = 10.0t + ½(5/9)t²

   0 = (5/18)t² + 10.0t - 360

   0 = t² + 36t - 1296

t = (-36 ±√(36² - 4(1)(-1296))) / 2

t = (-36 ±√(6480)) / 2

t = -18 ±√1620

we ignore the negative time result as it occurs before we care.

t = -18 + √1620 = 22.249223... s

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts
Reika [66]
Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy. 

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending. 

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

A bird flew16 km west in 5 hours, then flew 20 km east in 6 hours. what was the birdâs velocity?
Mademuasel [1]
Solve for Speed: 16+20=36 km in 11 hrs
Answer: speed = 3.27273 kilometers per hour

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.

<span>speed = distance/time</span>
