Answer: electric space heater

Explanation: The consumption of electrical energy per unit hour  is given by the power rating on the electrical appliance. The power rating depends on the electric current it withdraws to operate and the resistance of the appliance.

Portable tape recorder, a desk lamp and an electric can opener are small devices as compared to an electric space heater and with draw less current. thus, the power rating of the space heater is higher than other given appliances and it consumes more energy per hour.

You are correct, the answer is an electric space heater.
The reason for this is because the heating element generates heat by resisting the flow of current. For this reason, other similar devices such as irons take up a large amount of energy as well.

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}

where

\Delta L is the change in length of the object

L_0 is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have L_0 = 4 m and \Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m, therefore the strain is

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

A solid sphere is released from the top of a ramp that is at a height h1 = 2.30 m. It rolls down the ramp without slipping. The
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing is 1.72 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of ramp h_{1}=2.30\ m

Height of bottom of ramp h_{2}=1.69\ m

Diameter = 0.17 m

Suppose we need to calculate the horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing?

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

h_{2}=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h_{2}}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times1.69}{9.8}}

t=0.587\ sec

We need to calculate the velocity of the ball

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)\times(\dfrac{v}{r})^2

K.E=\dfrac{7}{10}mv^2

Using conservation of energy

K.E=mg(h_{1}-h_{2})

\dfrac{7}{10}mv^2=mg(h_{1}-h_{2})

v^2=\dfrac{10}{7}\times g(h_{1}-h_{2})

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{10\times9.8\times(2.30-1.69)}{7}}

v=2.922\ m/s

We need to calculate the horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing

Using formula of distance

d =vt

Where. d = distance

t = time

v = velocity

Put the value into the formula

d=2.922\times 0.587

d=1.72\ m

Hence, The horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing is 1.72 m.

A gas has an initial volume of 168 cm3 at a temperature of 255 K and a pressure of 1.6 atm. The pressure of the gas decreases to
erastovalidia [21]
Would presume you are asked to find the volume, since there is no second volume.

By General Gas Law:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.6 * 168 /255 = 1.3*V₂/285

V₂ = 1.6 * 168 * 285 / (1.3*255)

V₂ = 231.095

Final volume ≈ 231 cm³

"The predictions of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity were tested on a double pulsar system in January of 2004. His equati
Rasek [7]

Answer:

99.95%

Explanation:

A double pulsar system named PSR J0737-3039A/B  in Puppis constellation was discovered in the year 2003. Pulsars are second most densest object in the universe after black holes and they emit radio waves at regular intervals. This pair presented a great and natural setup to test the Theory of General Relativity presented by Einstein in 1915. In this theory Einstein had presented a set of equations on how the space-time fabric will be curved because of the very dense objects such as Neutron stars. It also predicted how the gravitational waves are created because of stars orbiting each other.

A team of astrophysicists led by Michael Kramer, conducted a study on how these gravitational waves will impact the time in which the radio waves emitted by pulsars will reach Earth. The result of the study proved the theory of General Relativity to be accurate up to 99.95%.

A student lifts a set of books off a table and places them in the upper shelf of a book case which is 2 meters above the table.
AfilCa [17]
The work done is the product between the intensity of the force applied F, the amount of the displacement d of the book and the cosine of the angle \theta between the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement:
W=Fd \cos \theta
In our problem, the student is lifting the book, so he is applying a force directed upward, and the book is moving upward, so F and d are parallel and therefore the angle is zero, so \cos \theta = \cos 0=1
Therefore, the work done is
W=Fd=(5 N)(2 m)=10 J
