A light, a heater, and a hair dryer were all running in the bathroom at the same time. Suddenly, they all turn off. After all, t

he light usually stays on just fine whenever you use the bathroom. Why would it go off now?
Please answer this question assuming the circuit breaker or fuse for the bathroom has a 40-ampere capacity. Use the terms “circuit,” and “overload.” Then think of at least two solutions to prevent this from happening again.

Well depending on what current the heater pulls im going to assume about 13, and 13A for the hair dryer, thats 26A on the 40A circuit.
I dont see how a lightbulb could overload the circuit. 

Anyway, assuming the circuit is overloaded by some really big heater- the circuit would trip, the fuse would go and remain off. Most houses are fitted with seperate circuits for lights and sockets, so the light may remain on depending on the breaker board. - the reason for them all being able to run with the sudden overload may be due to a surge.

One solution to this is not to put such a large heater on the circuit with other appliances. 

Another may be to dry your hair in the dark

Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm

Can someone give me an example or explanation of calculating energy from voltage? Many thanks!
antoniya [11.8K]
Expression to calculate energy from voltage: E= V*Q where E= energy, V= voltage, and Q= charge

Additional help:
-To find the Voltage ( V )
[ V = I x R ] V (volts) = I (amps) x R (Ω)

-To find the Current ( I )
[ I = V ÷ R ] I (amps) = V (volts) ÷ R (Ω)

-To find the Resistance ( R )
[ R = V ÷ I ] R (Ω) = V (volts) ÷ I (amps)

I hope that helps to some extent-

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”
