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.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When yeast is added into a bottle with water and sugar then after some time yeast becomes activated. This results in the formation of a chemical change as bubbles are formed on the surface of the mixture in the bottle.

This indicates that a gas has been released due to the chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that most likely a chemical change has occurred because a gas was produced.

a balloon inflated in a room at 297k has a volume of 4.00 l. the balloon is then heated to a temperature of 331 k. what is the n
Naddika [18.5K]
V2 = 4.4579 L

Since pressure is constant, use Charle’s law.
Charles's law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant.

V(olume) 1 = V(olume) 2
————— —————
T(emperature) 1 T(emperature)2

4.00 L = V2
———- ———
297 K 331 K

Cross multiply
(4.00 L x 331 K) = (297 K x V2)
Simplify
1324 L/K = 297 K x V2
Isolate V2 by dividing out 297 K
1324 L/K = V2
————
297 K
(This cancels out the kelvin and leaves you with Liters as the volume measure)

V2 = 4.4579 L

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with a diverging lens of focal length 30 cm. The focal length of th
kramer

Answer:

The focal lenth (F) =+10.0cm

Explanation:

The formular for combined focal length (F) is given as;

1/f = 1/f_{1} + 1/f_{2}

In this  question,

F1 = 20cm

F2  = -30cm

Plugging the values into the formuar above,

1/f = 1/20 + 1/(-30)

1/f = 0.05 - 0.033[tex]1/f = -0.017f = [tex]1/ -0.017

f = 58.82cm

i.e. the combination behaves as a converging lens (because of the postive sign) of focal length 58.82cm .
