a water heater has a power rating of 1 kW. how many seconds will this heater take to boil 1 liter of water?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:
4.65 minutes.

Explanation:
Theoretical Assumptions (not realistic): 1) ALL of the heat energy is transferred to the water, and 2)the water is uniformly heated. 3) The water density is 1.0g/mL.
Because we are only heating it TO the “boiling point”, ONLY the energy to heat the water from 20 to 100’C using the heat capacity or specific heat of water is required. A “Watt” is 1 Joule/second. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-’C. Water mass is 1000g. The energy required to heat it is therefore

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Len [333]

The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases.

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

A 5.00-pF, parallel-plate, air-filled capacitor with circular plates is to be used in a circuit in which it will be subjected to

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a) r=4.24cm d=1 cm

b) $Q=5x10^{-10} C$

Explanation:

The capacitance depends only of the geometry of the capacitor so to design in this case knowing the Voltage and the electric field

$V=1.00x10^{2}v\\E=1.00x10^{4} \frac{N}{C}$

$V=E*d\\d=\frac{V}{E}\\d=\frac{1.0x10^{2}}{1.0x10^{4}}\\d=0.01m$

The distance must be the separation the r distance can be find also using

$C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}$

But now don't know the charge these plates can hold yet so

a).

d=0.01m

$C=E_{o}*\frac{A}{d}\\A=\frac{C*d}{E_{o}}$

$A=\frac{5pF*0.01m}{8.85x10^{-12}\frac{F}{m}}\\A=5.69x10^{-3}m^{2}$

$A=\pi *r^{2}\\r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{r}}\\r=\sqrt{\frac{5.64x10^{-3}m^{2} }{\pi } } \\r=42.55x^{-3}m$

b).

$C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}$

$Q=C*V\\Q=5x10^{-12} F*1x10^{2}\\Q=5x10^{-10}C$

1. When the fission of uranium-235 is carried out, about 0.1 percent of the mass of the reactants is lost during the reaction. W

DerKrebs [107]

The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

Energy E = $mc^2$

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect. Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.
