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

Physics
1 answer:
Strike441 [17]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Arrange the substances in the table from the MOST to the LEAST ordered particle arrangement es ) A) wood, water, neon gas B) woo
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A) wood, water, neon gas

Explanation:

Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.

- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood

- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water

- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas

Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.

Why can't heat be transferred between two objects that have the same temperature
Inessa [10]

Answer: Because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system. The zeroth law of thermodynamics says that no heat is transferred between two objects in thermal equilibrium; therefore, they are the same temperature.

Explanation:9 (- _ -)

If the acceleration is constant, and the starting velocity is zero, the relationship between the acceleration of a falling body (a), the time it takes to fall (t), and instantaneous velocity when it hits the ground (v) is:

the general equation of acceleration is:

vf = vi + at

assuming the initial velocity (vi) is zero, the equation becomes:

vf = at 

v = at

A runner of mass 56.0kg runs around the edge of a horizontal turntable mounted on a vertical, frictionless axis through its cent
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: -0.84 rad/sec (clockwise)

Explanation:

Assuming no external torques act on the system (man + turntable), total angular momentum must be conserved:

L1 = L2

L1 = It ω + mm. v . r = 81.0 kg . m2 .21 rad/s – 56.0 kg. 3.1m/s . 3.1 m  

L1 = -521.15 kg.m2/sec (1)

(Considering to the man as a particle that is moving opposite to the rotation of  the turntable, so the sign is negative).

Once at rest, the runner is only a point mass with a given rotational inertia respect from the axis of rotation, that can be expressed as follows:

Im = m. r2 = 56.0 kg. (3.1m)2 = 538.16 kg.m2

The total angular momentum, once the runner has come to an stop, can be written as follows:

L2= (It + Im) ωf = -521.15 kg.m2/sec  

L2= (81.0 kg.m2 + 538.16 kg.m2) ωf = -521.15 kg.m2/sec  

Solving for ωf, we get:

ωf = -0.84 rad/sec  (clockwise)
