The unit for measuring electric power is the A. ampere. B. volt. C. ohm. D. watt.

Drupady [299]

The correct answer is D: Watt. This unit was named after James Watt, and is used to express the equivalent of one joule per second in energy. In experiments and on the packaging for electrical products such as light-bulbs, the measurement will usually be written in its abbreviated format: W.

A helicopter flies with an air speed of 175 km/h, heading south. The wind is blowing at 85 km/h to the east relative to the grou

spayn [35]

Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

$x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} )$ = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)

A 250. mL sample of gas at 1.00 atm and 20.0°C has the temperature increased to 40.0°C and the volume increased to 500. mL. What

ladessa [460]

Answer:

New pressure is 0.534 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of the gas, V₁ = 250 mL

Initial pressure of the gas, P₁ = 1.00 atm

Initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 20° C = 293 K

Final volume of the gas, V₂ = 500 mL

Final pressure of the gas = P₂

Final temperature of the gas, T₁ = 40° C = 313 K

now,

we know for a gas

PV = nRT

where,

n is the moles

R is the ideal gas constant

also, for a constant gas

we have

(P₁V₁/T₁) = (P₂V₂/T₂)

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

(1.00 × 250)/293 = (P₂ × 500)/313

or

P₂ = 0.534 atm

Hence, the new pressure is 0.534 atm

The maximum wavelength that an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject electrons from a metal surface is 542 nm. What is t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

2.295 eV

Explanation:

maximum wavelength, λ = 542 nm = 542 x 10^-9 m

The work function of the metal is defined as the minimum amount of energy falling on the metal so that the photo electrons just ejects the surface of metal.

$W_{o}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the speed of light

h = 6.634 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

$W_{o}=\frac{6.634\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{542\times10^{-9} }$

$W_{o}=3.67\times 10^{-19} J=\frac{3.67\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}} eV$

Wo = 2.295 eV

Thus, the work function of this metal is 2.295 eV.
