Answer:

Power used by dryer is 2160 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current used by clothes dryer, I = 9 amps

Voltage used by dryer, V = 240 volts

We have to find the power used by it. Mathematically, the relationship between voltage, current and power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

Putting the values of I and V in above equation as :

$P=240\ V\times 9\ A$

P = 2160 watts

Hence, the power used by dryer is 2160 watts.

A 30,000-kg freight car is coasting at 0.850 m/s with negligible friction under a hopper that dumps 110,000 kg of scrap metal in

erica [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a freight car, $m_1=30,000-kg$

Speed of a freight car, $u_1=0.85\ m/s$

Mass of a scrap metal, $m_2=110,000\ kg$

(a) Let us assume that the final velocity of the loaded freight car is V. The momentum of the system will remain conserved as follows :

$30000\times 0.85=(30000+110000)V\\\\V=\dfrac{30000\times 0.85}{30000+110000}\\\\=0.182\ m/s$

So, the final velocity of the loaded freight car is 0.182 m/s.

(b) Lost on kinetic energy = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy

$\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}[(m_1+m_2)V^2-m_1u_1^2)]\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times [(30,000+110,000 )0.182^2-30000(0.85)^2]\\\\=-8518.82\ J$

Lost in kinetic energy is 8518.82. Negative sign shows loss.

(1 point) A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 600 m/sec and an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. Us

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

(a) The range of the projectile in meters;

$R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m$

(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;

$H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m$

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s$

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is

Kazeer [188]

The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
$F=qE$
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
$E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C$

Which graph shows the relationship between temperature, X, and kinetic energy, Y?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer: see the graph attached (straight line, passing through the origin and positive slope).

Justification:

1) Kinetic energy and temperature are in direct proportion. That means:

i) Being kinetic energy y and temperature x: y α x

ii) That implies: y = kx,where k is the constant of proportionality.

iii) The graph is a line that passes through the origin and has positive slope k (k = y / x).

2) The proportional relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and temperature (T) is shown by the Boltzman law, which states:

Average KE = [3 / 2] KT, where K is Boltzman's constant, whose graph is of the form shown in the figure attached.
