Answer:

Power, P = 4800 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

Current drawn by an electric clothes dryer, I = 20 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We have to find the power used by the dryer. It is given by :

Power of an electrical appliance is given by the product of voltage and current flowing.

P = V × I

P = 240 V × 20 A

P = 4800 watts

Hence, the power of the electric clothes dryer is 4800 watts.

Use the second laws of thermodynamics to explain how an incandescent bulb might be less efficient than a compact fluorescent bul
Vsevolod [243]

An incandescent bulb produces light that comes from the heating of a filament. A compact fluorescent bulb produces light when a substance is hit by electromagnetic radiation. Compact fluorescent bulbs are more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic processes. Therefore, a system with lower heat emissions would be more efficient.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system (the thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work) can never decrease. In our context, it means that the system with the least amount of losses would be more efficient. As a conclusion the fluorescent bulb would be more efficient.

Do two sound waves that seen equally loud always have the same amplitude? explain
givi [52]
No, because of that "seem" part of the question.

Your hearing system is not a linear sound detector and meter. 
Sounds with equal amplitudes at different frequencies "seem"
to have different loudness, and the differences are different
for different people.

You've probably heard the saying "Things are not always as they seem."
The fact is, they NEVER are.

How many miles will a car drive on 25 L of gasoline if the car average mileage is 60 km/gal. provide answer with correct signifi
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Distance traveled by car in 25 L IS 396.15 km

Explanation:

We have given average millage of car = 60 km /gal

Means car travel 60 km in 1 gallon

The amount of gasoline = 25 L

We know that 1 L = 0.2641 gallon

So 25L=25\times 0.2641=6.6025gallon

As the car travels 60 km in 1 gallon

So traveled distance by car in 6.6025 gallon of gasoline = 60×6.6025 = 396.15 km
