Answer:

P = 12000 W

Explanation:

General data:

F = 15000 N
d = 40 m
t = 50 s
P = ?

Work is force times unit of distance. So in order to calculate the power we must first calculate the work.

Formula:

$\boxed{\bold{W=\frac{F}{d}}}$

Replace and solve

$\boxed{\bold{W=\frac{15000\ N}{40\ m}}}$

$\boxed{\bold{W=600000\ J}}$

once the work is found, we proceed to find the power according to the formula:

$\boxed{\bold{P=\frac{W}{t}}}$

$\boxed{\bold{P=\frac{600000\ J}{50\ s}}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{P=12000\ W}}}$

The power of the crane is <u>12000 Watts.</u>

The smallest shift you can reliably measure on the screen is about 0.2 grid units. This shift corresponds to the precision of po

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The distance is $d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The smallest shift is $d = 0.2 \ grid \ units$

Generally a grid unit is $\frac{1}{10}$ of an arcsec

This implies that 0.2 grid unit is $k = \frac{0.2}{10} = 0.02 \ arc sec$

The maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax is mathematically represented as

$d = \frac{1}{k}$

substituting values

$d = \frac{1}{0.02}$

$d = 50 \ parsec$

Note $1 \ parsec \ \to 3.26 \ light \ year \ \to 3.086*10^{13} \ km$

So $d = 50 * 3.08 *10^{13}$

$d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km$

A current of 3.60A flows for 15.3s through a conductor. Calculate the number of electrons that pass through a point in the condu

Artyom0805 [142]

3.60 A = 3.60 coulombs of charge per second

(3.60 Coul/sec) x (15.3 sec) = 55.08 coulombs of charge

1 coulomb of charge is carried by 6.25 x 10^18 electrons

Number of electrons =

(55.08 Coul) x (6.25 x 10^18 e/coul) = <em>3.4425 x 10^20 electrons</em>

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) $c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

c) The material is peat, possibly.

d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of aluminium, $m_a=0.1\ kg$

mass of water, $m_w=0.25\ kg$

initial temperature of the system, $T_i=10^{\circ}C$

mass of copper block, $m_c=0.1\ kg$

temperature of copper block, $T_c=50^{\circ}C$

mass of the other block, $m=0.07\ kg$

temperature of the other block, $T=100^{\circ}C$

final equilibrium temperature, $T_f=20^{\circ}C$

We have,

specific heat of aluminium, $c_a=910\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of copper, $c_c=390\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of water, $c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Using the heat energy conservation equation.

The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.

$Q_{in}=m_a.c_a.(T_f-T_i)+m_w.c_w.(T_f-T_i)$

$Q_{in}=0.1\times 910\times (20-10)+0.25\times 4186\times (20-10)$

$Q_{in}=11375\ J$

The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:

$Q_{out}=m_c.c_c.(T_c-T_f)+m.c.(T-T_f)$

where

$c=$ specific heat of the unknown material

For the conservation of energy : $Q_{in}=Q_{out}$

so,

$11375=0.1\times 390\times (50-20)+0.07\times c\times (100-20)$

$c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

The material is peat, possibly.

The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

PLS ANSWER FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLY!!!! ANSWER ONLY IF YOU KNOW!!!!

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons. Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.
