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

If the San Andreas Fault moves 200 cm (2 meters) per big earthquake, and plate movement is xx cm/yr (see question above), how ma
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option C

80 years

Explanation:

<em>From Scientific records, the rate of movement of the plate is 0.025 meters</em>

Since the fault moves at the rate of 2 meters per year, to obtain the number of years it will takes to produce an earth quake, we will have to divide the rate of movement of the fault by the rate of movement of the plate.

Number of years for earthquake = \frac{2}{0.025}= 80 years.

Hence, it will take 80 years to produce one big earthquake.

Two students side in carts opposite to one another in a spinning Ferris wheel as shown.
german

Net work done  on student B by the Ferris wheel in moving from the top to the bottom  is mathematically given as

net work done on A =0.

<h3>Net work done  </h3>

Generally the equation for the work energy theorem is mathematically given as

net work done on A = change in kinetic energy of A.

Where, angular velocity is constant.

change in kinetic energy = 0.

Hence, from work energy theorem,

net work done on A =0.
