In the bedroom of your house you would like to run a 240 W toward, a 30 W alarm clock, a 720 W tanning bed, and four 60 W lights

. Assuming your house is wired for 120 Volts, how much current will be pulled by these electrical devices?

Answer: current = 10.25A

Explanation:

Toward = 240w

Alarm clock = 30w

Tanning bed = 720w

4 60 watts bulb = 60 * 4 = 240w

Total power = 240 + 30 + 720 + 240 = 1230w

Voltage = 120v

Recall that Power = current * voltage

1230 = current * 120

current = 1230/120 = 10.25A

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

How original were Newton’s contributions to science? (In what ways did Newton depend on the mechanical view?)
kvasek [131]
Newton's new “reflecting telescope” was more powerful than ... Before Newton, scientists primarily adhered to ancient theories on ... laws of motion laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. Newton's research on motion helped give credibility to the heliocentric view. Newton also helped pioneer telescopic innovations, and he is sometimes credited with inventing the first reflecting telescope. He also conducted experiments using the prism, and developed a theory about the nature of color and light.

The gas in a balloon has T=280 K and V=0.0279 m^3. if the temperature increases to 320 K at constant pressure, what is the new v
victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.0319 m³

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Since P, n, and R are held constant:

n₁ R / P₁ = n₂ R₂ / P₂

Which means:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

Plugging in:

0.0279 m³ / 280 K = V / 320 K

V = 0.0319 m³
