The energy transfer diagram for a piece of equipment is shown. You are using a hand-cranked flashlight. One minute of cranking typically provides about 30 to 60 minutes of light. Describe ALL of the energy transformations that are taking place in this process.
A) mechanical energy to heat energy Eliminate
B) electrical energy to light energy
C) mechanical energy to light energy
D) chemical energy to mechanical energy
E) mechanical energy to electrical energy

When you turn on a battery-operated device, an electrical circuit is

The earth is constantly spinning on its axis, like you might spin a basketball on your finger. it is this spinning of the earth that causes

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
