1. explain why nichrome wire used in the heater.
2. explain why copper wire not used in the heater.
Answer:
1. The reason why nichrome wire is used in a heater is due to the properties of nichrome which makes it a material of choice for heating application including;
i) The cost of manufacture of nichrome is low
ii) Nichrome has both high mechanical and creep strength, and therefore is suitable for installation and use in a wide setting
iii) Nichrome has a high resistance to electron flow, making it a good electrical heating element
iv) Nichrome has a high resistance to oxidation, such that it can be reused several times as a heater
v) The high ductility of nichrome allows it to be stretched and drawn around different vessels with contents to which heat is to be supplied
2. Copper wire is not used in heaters because according to Joule's law, the heat produced from the flow of electric current, 'I', through a material having a resistance, 'R', for a time, 't', is proportional to I²·R·t, and copper has a very low resistance, 'R', to the flow of electric current, and therefore, will not produce sufficient heat required at a given current level

Calculate the cost of running an electric laundry iron for 8 hours, if the cost of 1 unit of energy is N24.00 and the rating of the iron is 1200w,240v
Answer:
Cost of energy = N230.4
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Time = 8 hours
Power = 1200 W
Voltage = 240 V
Cost of energy = N24
To find the cost of running an electric laundry iron;
First of all, we would determine the energy consumption of the iron.
Energy = power * time
Energy = 1200 * 8
Energy = 9600 Watt-hour = 9.6 Kwh (1 Kilowatts is equal to 1000 watts).
Next, we find the cost of energy;
Cost of energy = 9.6 * 24
Cost of energy = N230.4

3kg ball traveling at 10 m/s east collides with 5 kg ball traveling at 2m/s east after the collision the balls stick together what is the final velocity of the 3kg ball ?
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for this is designed around the fact that momentum must be conserved:
[tex][(m_{ball1}*v_{ball1})+(m_{ball2}*v_{ball2})]_b=[(m_{ball1}+m_{ball2})v_{both}]_a[/tex]
This is because they sitck together after they collide. Filling in:
[(3*10)+(5*2)] = [3 + 5]v and
30 + 10 = 8v so
40 = 8v and
v = 5
They are both moving east at a velocity of 5 m/s since they stuck together.

2 Ten identical lengths of wire are laid closely side-by-
side. Their combined width is measured and found
to be 14.2 mm. Calculate:
a the radius of a single wire
b the volume in mm' of a single wire if its length is
10.0 cm. (Volume of a cylinder = ferih, where r =
radius and h = height.
Answer:
(a) 0.71 mm
(b) 0.158 cubic cm
Explanation:
The width of one wire is the diameter of the wire.
(a) Let the diameter of each wire is d.
So, 10 d = 14.2 mm
d = 1.42 mm
radius of each wire, r = d/2 = 1.42/2 = 0.71 mm
(b) Length, L = 10 cm
The volume of the single wire is given by
[tex]V =\pi\times r^2\times h \\\\V =3.14\times 0.071^2\times 10\\\\V =0.158 cm^3[/tex]
what are the horizontal and vertical components of a vector that is 25units long with an angle of 130 degrees
Answer:
The horizontal component of the vector is approximately -16.07
The vertical component of the vector is approximately 19.15
Explanation:
A vector quantity is a quantity that posses both magnitude and direction specifications
The magnitude of the given vector, R = 25 units
The direction of the vector, θ = 130°
Therefore the location of the vector, starting from the origin of the Cartesian plane, is in the second quadrant having an angle of 180° - 130° = 50° to the horizontal
Given that the x-coordinate is negative in the second quadrant, we have;
The horizontal component of the vector, Rₓ = The x-coordinate of the vector = R×cos(θ)
∴ The horizontal component of the vector, Rₓ = 25 × cos(130°) = -25 × cos(50°) ≈ -16.07
The horizontal component of the vector, Rₓ ≈ -16.07
The vertical component of the vector, [tex]R_y[/tex] = The y-coordinate of the vector = R×sin(θ)
∴ The vertical component of the vector, [tex]R_y[/tex] = 25 × sin(130°) ≈ 19.15
The vertical component of the vector, [tex]R_y[/tex] ≈ 19.15
The vector can be resolved as R = -16.07·i + 19.15·j

what are the horizontal and vertical components of a vector that is 25units long with an angle of 130 degrees
Answer:
The horizontal component of the vector ≈ -16.06
The vertical component of the vector ≈ 19.15
Explanation:
The magnitude of the vector, [tex]\left | R \right |[/tex] = 25 units
The direction of the vector, θ = 130°
Therefore, we have;
The horizontal component of the vector, Rₓ = [tex]\left | R \right |[/tex] × cos(θ)
∴ Rₓ = 25 × cos(130°) ≈ -16.06
The horizontal component of the vector, Rₓ ≈ -16.06
The vertical component of the vector, R[tex]_y[/tex] = [tex]\left | R \right |[/tex] × sin(θ)
∴ R[tex]_y[/tex] = 25 × sin(130°) ≈ 19.15
The vertical component of the vector, R[tex]_y[/tex] ≈ 19.15
(The vector, R = Rₓ + R[tex]_y[/tex]
[tex]\underset{R}{\rightarrow}[/tex] = Rₓ·i + R[tex]_y[/tex]·j
∴ [tex]\underset{R}{\rightarrow}[/tex] ≈ -16.07·i + 19.15j)

Do solar panels create enough energy to power the car throughout the day?
Answer:
Yes, but only if it's sunny.
Explanation:
As you know, solar panels generate energy through the sun's rays of light (better known as sunlight). Therefore, as long as the sun is shining high in the sky, the car will generate electricity and be able to function. If this vehicle was only powered by solar panels, it would not function during the night, in cloudy areas, and/or in dark places (such as parking garages or home garages).

A 350 kilogram car is traveling at a constant velocity of 15 m/s. What is the net force acting on the car?
Answer:
The net force acting on the car is zero.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) = 350 Kg
Velocity (v) = constant = 15 m/s
Net Force (F) =?
An object moving with a constant velocity is not accelerating. The acceleration of such object is zero. Thus, the net force acting on the object is also zero. This can further be explained as shown below:
Mass (m) = 350 Kg
Acceleration = 0 (since the velocity is constant)
Net Force (F) =?
Force (F) = mass (m) × Acceleration (a)
F = m × a
F = 350 × 0
F = 0
Thus, the net force acting on the car is zero.

===========================================
Explanation:
The half-life formula is
y = A*(1/2)^(x/H)
where A is the starting amount, H is the half-life, x is the time value and y is the amount after x units of time have passed.
I'll express the x and H values in terms of millions of years. So for example, when we say H = 500, then that really refers to 500 million years.
----------
In this case, we know that,
A = 192H = 500y = 3Let's use those values to solve for x. We'll need logs to cut the exponents down from the trees.
y = A*(1/2)^(x/H)
3 = 192*(1/2)^(x/500)
3/192 = (0.5)^(x/500)
0.015625 = (0.5)^(x/500)
log(0.015625) = log( (0.5)^(x/500) )
log(0.015625) = (x/500)*log(0.5)
(x/500)*log(0.5) = log(0.015625)
x = 500*log(0.015625)/log(0.5)
x = 3,000
Keep in mind that x is in millions of years. So saying x = 3,000 means 3,000 million years. This translates to 3,000*10^6 = 3,000,000,000 = 3 billion years.
It will take about 3 billion years for the 192 atoms to decay to only 3 atoms.
The amount of half-lives this occurs is x/H = (3,000)/500 = 6
So the time span of 3 billion years is the same as 6 half-lives when each half-life is 500 million years long.

A cubic box has a 0.8 meter side. Find the volume of air in the box in cubic meter?
Answer:
[tex]V=0.512\ m^3[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The side of a cubic box, s = 0.8 m
We need to find the volume of air in the box.
We know that,
The volume of a cube is given by :
[tex]V=s^3[/tex]
So,
[tex]V=0.8^3\\\\V=0.8\times 0.8\times 0.8\\\\=0.512\ m^3[/tex]
So, the volume of air in the box is [tex]0.512\ m^3[/tex].
Which of these events is an example of resonance?
