Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.40 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.65 km to

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

3.67 km

Explanation:

Joe distance towards coffee shop is,

$OB=0.40 km$

And the Max distance towards bookstore is,

$OA=3.65 km$

Now the distance between the Joy and Max will be,

By applying pythagorus theorem,

$AB=\sqrt{OB^{2}+OA^{2}}$

Substitute 0.40 km for OB and 3.65 km for OA in the above equation.

$AB=\sqrt{0.40^{2}+3.65^{2}}\\AB=\sqrt{13.4825} \\AB=3.67 km$

Therefore the distance between there destination is 3.67 km.

Determine the total amount of heat, in joules, required to completely vaporize a 50.0-gram sample of h2o(?) at its boiling point

Tanzania [10]

In order to calculate the amount of energy required, we must first check the latent heat of vaporization of water from literature. The latent heat of vaporization of any substance is the amount of energy required per unit mass to convert that substance from a solid to a liquid. For water this is 2,260 J/g. We now use the formula:
Energy = mass * latent heat
Q = 50 * 2,260
Q = 113,000 J

113,000 Joules of heat energy are required.

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 8.0 m apart. If the tension in the cord is 120 N, how long will it take

DedPeter [7]

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

<h3>Given:</h3>

The mass of the cord is m = 0.65 kg.

The distance between the supports is, d = 8.0 m.

The tension in the cord is T = 120 N.

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is given as,

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

Here, v is the linear velocity of a pulse. Its value is,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T d }{m} }$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{120 * 8}{0.65} }$

$v= 38.43 m/s$

Then,

$t=\frac{8}{38.43}$

$t=0.208 s$

Thus, the time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

Assume a solar cell would produce a current of 500mA and 3 V. What is the power of this solar cell?

defon

Answer:

the power of the solar cell is 1.5 watts

Explanation:

Recall that power is defined as the product of the voltage (V) times the running current (I): Power = V * I.

The only thing we have to take care of before actually performing the operation, is to convert milliamps into Amps, so our answer comes directly in the appropriate units (Watts). 500 mAmps can be written as 0.5 Amps, then, the product becomes:

Power = V * I = 3 V * 0.5 Amps = 1.5 watts
