Answer:

a) I = 13.04 A

b)  R = 8.82 ohms

c) 1291.87 kilocalories are generated an hour.

Explanation:

let P be the power of the heater, V be the voltage of the heater, I be the current of the heater, R be the resistance.

a) we know that:

P = I×V

I = P/V

  = (1500)/(115)

  = 13.04 A

Therefore, the current of the heater is 13.04 A

b) we now have voltage and current, according to Ohm's law:

R = V/I

  = (115)/(13.04)

  = 8.82 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the heating coil is 8.82 ohms.

c) the number of kilocalories generated in one hour by the heater is just the energy the heater produces in one hour which is given by:

E = P×t

  = (1500)(1×60×60)

  = 5400000 J

since 1 calorie = 4.81 J

1 kilocalorie = 0.001 calories

E = 5400000/4.18 ≈ 1291866.029 calories ≈1291.87 kilocalories

Therefore, 1291.87 kilocalories are produced/generated in one hour.

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. the heat capacity of object a is
Harman [31]
Given:
Ca = 3Cb                      (1)
where
Ca =  heat capacity of object A
Cb =  heat capacity f object B

Also,
Ta = 2Tb                     (2)
where
Ta = initial temperature of object A
Tb = initial temperature of object B.

Let
Tf =  final equilibrium temperature of both objects,
Ma = mass of object A,
Mb = mass of object B.

Assuming that all heat exchange occurs exclusively between the two objects, then energy balance requires that
Ma*Ca*(Ta - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb)           (3)

Substitute (1) and (2) into (3).
Ma*(3Cb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb)
3(Ma/Mb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb

Define k = Ma/Mb, the ratio f the masses.
Then
3k(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb
Tf(1+3k) = Tb(1+6k)
Tf = [(1+6k)/(1+3k)]*Tb

Answer:
T_{f} =( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k} )T_{b}= \frac{1}{2}( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k})T_{a}
where
k= \frac{M_{a}}{M_{b}}

A skateboarder rides swiftly up the edge of a bowl-shaped surface and leaps into the air. While in the air, the skateboarder fli
Katen [24]

Answer:

Option(a) is the correct answer to the given question .

Explanation:

The main objective of the angular momentum is evaluating however much the rotational movement as well as the angular velocity in the entity does have.The angular momentum is measured in terms of kgm^{2 }\  / s.

  • In the given question the skateboarder rides quickly up the bottom of a bowl-shaped surface and climb into the air.it means it is rotational movement also it is not touching anything so it is angular momentum.
  • All the other option is incorrect because it is not follows the given scenario

An airplane flying at 115 m/s due east makes a gradual turn following a circular path to fly south. The turn takes 15 seconds to
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration during the turn is a=12.04\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given :

Speed to the airplane in circular path , v = 115 m/s.

Time taken by plane to turn , t= 15 s.

Also , the plane turns from east to south i.e. quarter of a circle .

Therefore, time taken to complete whole circle is , T=t\times 4=60\ s.

Now , Velocity ,

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}\\\\115=\dfrac{2\times 3.14\times r}{60}\\\\r=1098.73\ m.

Also , we know :

Centripetal acceleration ,

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

Putting all values we get :

a=12.04\ m/s^2.

Hence , this is the required solution .

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Both thermometer has same ice point = T_i\ =\ 0^o C
  • Both thermometer has same steam point = T_s\ =\ 100^o C
  • Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion.  Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.

An 80-g particle moving with an initial speed of 50 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 60-g particle moving
liubo4ka [24]

The collision is a form of inelastic collision because the it forms a single mass after is collides. So it can be solve by momentum balance

( 0.08 kg * 50 m/s ) + ( 0.06 kg * 50 m/s) = ( 0.08 + 0.06 kg ) v

V = 50 m/s

So the kinetic energy lost is

KE = 0.5 (50 m/s)^2) *( 0.14 – 0.08kg )

KE = 75 J
