An electric heater draws a steady current = 20.0 A on a 120-V line. (a) Calculate how much power does it require.

Answer:

The heater power required is 2400 W. The power in the heater can be calculated as the product of the voltage line and the steady current:

P=V.I

P=120 V * 20 A = 2400 VA = 2400 W

Sketch the circuit labeling the meter and bulb as two separate resistors connected in parallel to the voltage source. Then show
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Show attached picture

Explanation:

Let's call V the voltage provided by the battery in the circuit. M is the multimeter (let's call R_M its internal resistance) and R indicates the resistance of the light bulb.

We know that the meter's internal resistance is 1000 times higher than the bulb's resistance:

R_M = 1000 R (1)

Both  the meter and the bulb are connected in parallel to the battery, so they both have same potential difference at their terminals:

V_M = V_R

Using Ohm's law, V=RI, we can rewrite the previous equation as:

R_M I_M = R I_R

where

I_M is the current in the meter

I_R is the current in the bulb

Using (1), this equation becomes

(1000 R) I_M = R I_R \rightarrow I_M = \frac{I_R}{1000}

so, the current in the meter is 1000 times less than through the bulb.

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled
sesenic [268]
Velocity =

(distance between start point and end point, regardless of the route traveled) / (time spent traveling).

That distance (called the "displacement"), is 10 meters, and almost exactly 1 hour is almost exactly 3,600 seconds. So the numerical value of the velocity during that time is

(10) / (3,600) = almost exactly 0.00278 m/s

= 2.78 x 10^-3 m/s.

Calculate the number of moles in each of the following masses: 0.039 g of palladium 0.0073 kg of tantalum
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

<em>The number of moles of palladium and tantalum are 0.00037 mole and 0.0000404 mole respectively</em>

Explanation:

Number of mole = reacting mass/molar mass

n = R.m/m.m......................... Equation 1

Where n = number of moles, R.m = reacting mass, m.m = molar mass.

For palladium,

R.m = 0.039 g and m.m = 106.42 g/mol

Substituting theses values into equation 1

n = 0.039/106.42

n = 0.00037 mole

For tantalum,

R.m = 0.0073 and m.m = 180.9 g/mol

Substituting these values into equation 1

n = 0.0073/180.9

n = 0.0000404 mole

<em>Therefore the number of moles of palladium and tantalum are 0.00037 mole and 0.0000404 mole respectively</em>

The reaction energy of a reaction is the amount of energy released by the reaction. It is found by determining the difference in
solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule
