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

When a gas is heated, it absorbs 196 joules of heat from the surroundings. At the same time, the gas expands, doing pressure-vol
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) q positive; w negative.

(b) ΔE = -126 J

(c) E and ΔE

Explanation:

<em>(a) Determine whether the amounts of heat (q) and work (w) exchanged should have positive or negative signs. heat (q) positive negative work (w) positive negative</em>

By convention, when the system absorbs heat from the surroundings, its sign is positive, that is, q = 196 J.

By convention, when the system exerts work on the surroundings, its sign is negative, that is, w = -322 J.

<em>(b) Calculate the change in internal energy (ΔE) of the gas. J</em>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔE = q + w

ΔE = 196 J + (-322 J) = -126 J

<em>(c) Determine whether one or more of the following is a state function: </em>

<em> internal energy (E) of a system, </em>

<em>change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system, </em>

<em>heat (q) absorbed or released by a system, </em>

<em>work (w) done on or by a system.</em>

<em />

E and ΔE are state functions (they only depend on the states of the gas), whereas q and w depend on the trajectory.

A ball that has a mechanical energy of 65 J has 12 J of kinetic energy. The ball has
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The ball has a potential energy of 53 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy, E = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

E = K.E + P.E

65 = 12 + P.E

P.E = 65 – 12

P.E = 53 J

Therefore the potential energy of the ball is 53 J

How could you increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth?
Tamiku [17]
Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE = mgh

Where m is your mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and h is the height in m.

The only value that be controlled here is the height h.  The mass is constant, and acceleration due to gravity at that place is constant.

But h can be varied.

Hence to increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth is to increase the height h.

This can be done by climbing up a table, or climbing up a building through the stairs, or by using a lift.
