Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

a plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8,000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B with a velocity of 10

ValentinkaMS [17]

Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time for the change)

Change in velocity = (ending velocity) - (starting velocity)

Change in the plane's velocity = (10,000 m/s north) - (8,000 m/s north)

Change in the plane's velocity = 2,000 m/s north

Time for the change = 40 seconds

Acceleration = (2,000 m/s north) / (40 seconds)

<em>Acceleration = 50 m/s² north </em>

You are pushing a 60 kg block of ice across the ground. You exert a constant force of 9 N on the block of ice. You let go after

kotykmax [81]

Answer: d = 33 cm or 0.33 m

Explanation: In physics, Work is the amount of energy transferred to an object to make it move. It can be expressed by:

W = F.d.cosθ

F is the force applied to the object, d is the displacement and θ is the angle formed between the force and the displacement.

For the ice block, the angle is 0, i.e., force and distance are at the same direction, so:

W = F.d.cos(0)

W = F.d

To determine d:

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

d = $\frac{3}{9}$

d = 0.33 m

The distance d the block ice moved is 33 cm.

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel

solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming 5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = $\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}$
