Answer:

False

Explanation:

In electric heater electric energy is converted into heat energy. In heater wires are present which have resistance and current is flow in heater when we connect the heater to supply.

And we know that whenever current is flow in any resistance then heat is produced so in electric heaters electric energy is converted into heat energy

So this is a false statement

Reika [66]

Answer: 33.35 minutes

Explanation:

A(t) = A(o) *(.5)^[t/(t1/2)]....equ1

Where

A(t) = geiger count after time t = 100

A(o) = initial geiger count = 400

(t1/2) = the half life of decay

t = time between geiger count = 66.7 minutes

Sub into equ 1

100=400(.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)

Equ becomes

.25= (.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)]

Take log of both sides

Log 0.25 = [66.7/(t1/2)] * log 0.5

66.7/(t1/2) = 2

(t1/2) = (66.7/2 ) = 33.35 minutes

It is true about Metals and alloys: a)-They are good electrical and thermal conductors b)-They can be used as semi-conductors c)

ycow [4]

Answer:

(d) a and c are correct

Explanation:

METALS : Metal are those materials which has very high ductility, high modulus of elasticity, good thermal and electrical conductivity

for example : iron, gold ,silver, copper

ALLOYS: Alloys are those materials which are made up of combining of two or more than two metals these also have good thermal and electrical conductivity and me liable property

for example ; bronze and brass

so from above discussion it is clear that option (d) will be the correct option

The pressure reduces to 2.588 bars.

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's theorem for ideal flow we have

$\frac{P}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V^{2}}{2g}+z=constant$

Since the losses are neglected thus applying this theorm between upper and lower porion we have

$\frac{P_{u}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V-{u}^{2}}{2g}+z_{u}=\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V{L}^{2}}{2g}+z_{L}$

Now by continuity equation we have

$A_{u}v_{u}=A_{L}v_{L}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{A_{u}}{A_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\v_{L}=\frac{d^{2}_{u}}{d^{2}_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{2500}{900}\times 3.5\\\\\therefore v_{L}=9.72m/s$

Applying the values in the Bernoulli's equation we get

$\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=\frac{300000}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{3.5^{2}}{2g}-\frac{9.72^{2}}{2g}(\because z_{L}=z_{u})\\\\\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=26.38m\\\\\therefore P_{L}=258885.8Pa\\\\\therefore P_{L}=2.588bars$

A surveyor knows an elevation at Catch Basin to be elev=2156.77 ft. The surveyor takes a BS=2.67 ft on a rod at BM Catch Basin a

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

the elevation at point X is 2152.72 ft

Explanation:

given data

elev = 2156.77 ft

BS = 2.67 ft

FS = 6.72 ft

solution

first we get here height of instrument that is

H.I = elev + BS ..............1

put here value

H.I = 2156.77 ft + 2.67 ft

H.I = 2159.44 ft

and

Elevation at point (x) will be

point (x) = H.I - FS .............2

point (x) = 2159.44 ft - 6.72 ft

point (x) = 2152.72 ft
