Answer:

Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest. Since classical physics, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, or electron, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.

A glass window 0.33 cm thick measures 87 cm by 36 cm. How much heat flows through this window per minute if the inside and outsi

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

6.38 x 10^4 J

Explanation:

d = 0.33 cm = 0.33 x 10^-2 m, Area = 87 x 36 cm^2 = 0.87 x 0.36 m^2

ΔT = 14 degree C, t = 1 min = 60 second

K = 0.8 W / m K

Heat = K A ΔT t / d

H = 0.8 x 0.87 x 0.36 x 14 x 60 / (0.33 x 10^-2)

H = 6.38 x 10^4 J

Displacement vectors of 4 km north, 2km south, 5 km north, and 5km south combine to a total displacement of A 2 km south B 16 km

Phantasy [73]

The north vectors add up as so the south vectors. Then subtract the two. For north its 4 + 5 = 9. South is 2 + 5 = 7. Then 9-7 = 2km North (D)

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it

Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring. This does not work. You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

1.3 kg of water, at an initial temperature of 25oC, is heated at a rate of 100 W in a well-insulated container. How much time (i

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

68.25 minutes.

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time or

Power = Heat/time

P = Q/t....................... Equation 1

Q = Pt ........................ Equation 2

Where Q = quantity of heat, P = power, t = time.

Also,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ................. Equation 3

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water, t₂ = final temperature of water.

substitute equation 2 into equation 3

Pt = cm(t₂-t₁) ............... Equation 4

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P................ Equation 5

Given: P = 100 W, m = 1.3 kg, t₁ = 25 °C, t₂ = 100 °C.

Constant: 4200 J/kg.K

Substitute into equation 5

t = 1.3(4200)(100-25)/100

t = 409500/100

t = 4095 seconds

t = (4095/60) minutes = 68.25 minutes.

Hence the time it will take the water to reach boiling point = 68.25 minutes
