A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.

There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc

Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.

If 56.5kJ are needed to raise the temp by 90°C and if the heater is 60% efficient that means that:
60% X y = 56.5kJ
where y is the electrical energy in kJ that the heater will use.
y = 94.2kJ

Help quick! Plz dont add an answer if you dont know
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

One reason is the positioning of the earth on its axis. The sun doesn't hit where we live in winter because we are pushed upwards more so we don't get the suns heat. The sun goes down earlier... so we don't have as much sunlight.

In winter the sun is father away from earth and in Summer it is closer...

What is the current through resistor #1? (must include unit - A)
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: 3A

Explanation:

First, we must calculate voltage by summing the reciprocal of the resistances in the circuit

1/40 +1/40 = 2/40 = 1/20 = 1/R, so R = 20Ω

Using Ohm's Law, I = V/R, so the current I is I = 120/20 = 6A

Using Kerchoff's Circuit Law, we know that current will split evenly at a junction, so each resistor will get one half, or 3A.
