John heats 1 kg of soup from 25 °C to 70 °C for 15 minutes by a heater. How long does the same heater take to heat 1.5 kg of the

Mumz [18]

Answer:

30 minutes

Explanation:

Energy per time is constant, so:

E₁ / t₁ = E₂ / t₂

m₁C₁ΔT₁ / t₁ = m₂C₂ΔT₂ / t₂

(1 kg) C (70°C − 25°C) / 15 min = (1.5 kg) C (80°C − 20°C) / t

(1 kg) (45°C) / 15 min = (1.5 kg) (60°C) / t

3/min = 90 / t

t = 30 min

In the ground state of hydrogen, according to the Bohr model, an electron orbits 5.3 x 10-11 m from the nucleus. It undergoes a

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of electron $(r)=5.3\times 10^{-11} m$

centripetal acceleration $(a_c)=9\times 10^22 m/s^2$

we know

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}$

$v=\sqrt{5.3\times 10^{-11}\times 9\times 10^{22}}$

$v=\sqrt{47.7\times 10^11}$

$v=21.84\times 10^5 m/s$

(b)For n=10

$r=100\times 5.3\times 10^{-11} m\approx 5.3\times 10^{-9} m$

$a_c=10^4\times 9\times 10^{22} m/s^2$

$a_c=9\times 10^{26} m/s^2$

$v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}$

$v=\sqrt{9\times 10^{26}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}$

$v=21.84\times 10^8 m/s$

A river 800m wide flows at the rate of 5km/h . A swimmer who can swim at 10km/h in still water wants to cross the river straight

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

At an angle of $30^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

$R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}$
