An 1,820 W toaster, a 1,420 W electric frying pan, and a 55 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15 A, 120 V circuit. (T

he three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.)
Required:
a. What current is drawn by each device?
b. Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

Explanation:    

step one:

Given data

power of toaster= 1,820 W  

power of electric frying pan= 1,420 W  

power of lamp= 55 W  

current of the outlet= 15 A

voltage of outlet = 120 V

step two

since all  three appliances are connected in parallel to the socket outlet, they will use the same voltage of 120 V and the currents will be different across each appliance,

Hence the current across the Toaster will be I₁

using P=I₁V we have

I₁= P/V

I₁= 1820/120 =  15.16 A

A. The current drawn by each device

the current across the  electric frying pan will be I₂

using P=I₂V we have

I₂= P/V

I₂= 1420/120 =  11.83 A

the current across the   lamp will be I₃

using P=I₃V we have

I₃= P/V

I₃= 55/120 =  0.45 A

therefore the total current drawn by all appliances will be

Total current = I₁+I₂+I₃= 15.16 +11.83+ 0.45= 27.44

B.  Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

27.44 A > 15 A by 45% ...and this will make fuse to blow

Answer:

toaster- 15.1A

electric frying pan- 11.8 A

lamp- 0.5 A

b) The combination will blow the fuse.

Explanation:

When devices are connected in parallel, the potential difference across each of the devices is the same but the current through each is different. Hence;

V= 120 V

Power= IV

For the toaster;

I= 1820/120 = 15.1 A

For the electric frying pan;

I= 1420/120 = 11.8 A

For the lamp;

55/120 = 0.5 A

Total current = 15.1 +11.8 + 0.5 = 27.4 A

The combination will blow the fuse.

A cannon elevated at 40 degrees is fired at a wall 300m away on level ground. The initial speed of the cannonball is 89m/s How l
lianna [129]
For the answer to the question above, we'll have to use these formulas.

A) to find time to travel the 300m,
just find horizontal component of the velocity and divide.
ie x=89 x t x cos 40, t=x/89 x cos 40 

<span>B) y=vtsin 40 - gt^2/2, just sub in

I believe you can do the rest.

I hope I helped you with my answers.

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  • 59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

<u>1. 18 mph 327º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

  • Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

  • Vector notation:

       15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j

<u>2. 4 mph 60º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

  • Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

  • Vector notation:

       2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j

<u>3. Addition:</u>

You add the corresponding components:

15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

  • \sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23

<u>4. Direction:</u>

Use the tangent ratio:

  • tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73

Find the inverse:

  • arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º

Answer:

I'm not sure if the directions affect the speed tho

but I think it's 4? cause it's the speed relative to the ground
