The formula shown below is used to calculate the energy released when a specific quantity of fuel is burned. Calculate the energ

y released by a burning sample of fuel if the temperature of 100g of water was raised by 20 °C. (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200J/kg °C)

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

Q=m. c. \Delta T  

Where:

Q  is the thermal energy

m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg is the mass  of the water sample

c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}  is the specific heat capacity of  water

\Delta T=20\°C  is the variation in temperature

Solving:

Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)  

Q=8400 J  This is the thermal energy released

What two sources of friction do you have to overcome when you are walking?
tatuchka [14]
<span>
Gravity is pushing you down on the earth while the friction from the ground is pushing you up. Those are the two frictions you must overcome when walking.

A 150-newton force, applied to a wooden crate at an angle of 30° above the horizontal, causesthe crate to travel at constant vel
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A component of 150 N in vertical direction will reduce the magnitude of reaction force.

reaction force exerted by the floor

= mg - 150 sin 30

where m is mass of the crate .

the magnitude of the horizontal component of the 150-newton force

150 cos30

= 130 N

This force tries to pull the crate in forward direction with acceleration but it has no acceleration . It is so because frictional force of equal magnitude acts on it in opposite direction which makes the net force acting on it equal to zero.

Hence frictional force is equal to 150 cos 30.

= 130 N .

A "590-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

a) 24.4 Ω

b) 4.92 A

c) 495.9 W

d)

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

Explanation:

b)

The formula for power is:

P = IV

where,

P = Power of heater = 590 W

V = Voltage it takes = 120 V

I = Current Drawn = ?

Therefore,

590 W = (I)(120 V)

I = 590 W/120 V

<u>I = 4.92 A</u>

<u></u>

a)

From Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

Therefore,

R = 120 V/4.92 A

<u>R = 24.4 Ω</u>

<u></u>

c)

For constant resistance and 110 V the power becomes:

P = V²/R

Therefore,

P = (110 V)²/24.4 Ω

<u>P = 495.9 W</u>

<u></u>

d)

If the resistance decreases, it will increase the current according to Ohm's Law. As a result of increase in current the power shall increase according to formula (P = VI). Therefore, correct option is:

<u>c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.</u>
