The  question is going along fine, and then suddenly "groups of two" get thrown in.  What that means is not clear at all.

Here's a solution assuming that 8 heater wires are all in parallel:

-- The resistance of each wire is 4 ohms.

-- If eight resistors, each 4 ohms, are in parallel, the <em>total resistance is 0.5 ohm.</em>

-- Current = (voltage)/(resistance)

Current = (12 volts) / (0.5 ohm)

<em>Current = 24 Amperes.</em>

Power dissipated by the heater = (voltage) x (current)

Power = (12 volts) x (24 Amps) = 288 watts, a nice toasty heating pad.

A conducting sphere of radius 5.0 cm carries a net charge of 7.5 µC. What is the surface charge density on the sphere?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\sigma=0.014\ C/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of sphere, r = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Net charge carries, q = 7.5 µC = 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ C

We need to find the surface charge density on the sphere. Net charge per unit area is called the surface charge density. So,

\sigma=\dfrac{7.5\times 10^{-6}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \times (0.05)^3}\\\\=0.014\ C/m^2

So, the surface charge density on the sphere is 0.014\ C/m^2.

<h2>For Second Solid Lumped System is Applicabe</h2>

Explanation:

Considering heat transfer between two identical hot solid bodies and their environments -

  • If the first solid is dropped in a large container filled with water, while the second one is allowed to cool naturally in the air than for second solid, the lumped system analysis more likely to be applicable
  • The  reason is that a lumped system analysis is more likely to be applicable in the air than in water as the convection heat transfer coefficient so that the Biot number is less than or equal to 0.1 that is much smaller in air

Biot number = the ratio of conduction resistance within the body to convection resistance at the surface of the body

∴ For a lumped system analysis Biot number should be less than 0.1

What is Otter's average velocity over his entire trip when it takes him 2 minutes to walk 100 meters north and another 1 minute
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

Tammy leaves the office, drives 26 km due
fredd [130]

Answer:

72.98 km

Explanation:

Her displacement is simply the distance from her final position to her initial position.

Now, I've drawn and attached a triangle diagram to depict this her movement.

Point O is her initial starting point.

Point A is the first point she gets to after travelling north while point B is the final point after travelling north east.

From the triangle, the displacement will be the distance OB which is denoted by x and can be solved from cosine rule.

Thus;

x² = 62² + 26² - 2(62 × 26)cos 120

x² = 4520 + 806

x² = 5326

x = √5326

x = 72.98 km

A figure skater rotating at 5.00 rad/s with arms extended has a moment of inertia of 2.25 kg·m2. If the arms are pulled in so t
Serggg [28]

a) 6.25 rad/s

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that the angular momentum must be conserved.

The angular momentum is given by:

L=I\omega

where

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular speed

Since the angular momentum must be conserved, we can write

L_1 = L_2\\I_1 \omega_1 = I_2 \omega_2

where we have

I_1 = 2.25 kg m^2 is the initial moment of inertia

\omega_1 = 5.00 rad/s is the initial angular speed

I_2 = 2.25 kg m^2 is the final moment of inertia

\omega_2 is the final angular speed

Solving for \omega_2, we find

\omega_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{I_2}=\frac{(2.25 kg m^2)(5.00 rad/s)}{1.80 kg m^2}=6.25 rad/s

b) 28.1 J and 35.2 J

The rotational kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular speed

Applying the formula, we have:

- Initial kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.25 kg m^2)(5.00 rad/s)^2=28.1 J

- Final kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(1.80 kg m^2)(6.25 rad/s)^2=35.2 J
