An 1647 w toaster, a 1592 w electric frying pan, and a 81 w lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 120-v circuit. (the three

devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.). what current is drawn by the frying pan

Since all of the appliances ... and everything else in the house that's
plugged into a wall outlet ... are all in parallel, they don't have any
effect on each other.  They don't know about each other.  The
question asks about the frying pan, so the toaster and the lamp
have no effect  on the answer.

The frying pan has 120 V applied to it, and it produces 1592 watts
of heat.

Power = (voltage)·(current)

1592 watts = (120 v)·(current)

Divide each side by 120v:

Current = (1592 watts) / (120 volts)

Current = 13.27 Amperes

A ball of mass m on a string of length L is attached to a pivot. The ball is released from rest while the string is parallel to
mash [69]

Answer:

L/2

Explanation:

Neglect any air or other resistant, for the ball can wrap its string around the bar, it must rotate a full circle around the bar. This means the ball should be able to swing to the top position where it's directly above the bar. By the law of energy conservation, this happens when the ball is at the same level as where it's previously released vertically. It means the swinging radius around the bar must be at least half of the string length.

So the distance d between the bar and the pivot should be at least L/2

A person is pulling a freight cart with a force of 58 pounds. how much work is done in moving the cart 70 feet if the cart's han
Kobotan [32]

<span>The person is dragging with a force of 58 lbs at an angle of 27 degrees relating to the ground. We want to use cosine function to look for the horizontal force component. And then we can compute for W = (Horizontal Force) x (Distance). We want the horizontal force component since that is the component that is parallel to the direction the cart is moving. </span><span>

(cos 27 degrees)(58 lbs) = 51.69 lbs (This is the horizontal force component.) 
W = (51.69 lbs) x (70 ft) = 3618.3 ft*lbs</span>

HELP. A river flows South with a speed of 8m/s. From the shore, you see a boat moving South with a speed of 10 m/s. From their f
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

18 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of river is 8 m/s due South

From the shore, you see a boat moving South with a speed of 10 m/s. Both boat and river are moving in same direction. The resultant velocity will add up.

v = 10 m/s + 8 m/s

v = 18 m/s

Hence, the rowers are moving with a speed of 18 m/s.
