Talja [164]3 years ago

Answer:

2.25\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

First of all, we have to find the power used by the hair dryer, which is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where

V = 120 V is the voltage

R=9.6 \Omega is the resistance of the hair dryer

Substituting,

P=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9.6 \Omega}=1500 W

Now we can find the total electrical energy used, given by

E=Pt

where P is the power and

t = 2.5 min = 150 s is the time

Substituting,

E=(1500 W)(150 s)=2.25\cdot 10^5 J

How do you find velocity when given 3 numbers
forsale [732]
In general, that's not possible, unless the three numbers relate to
very specific quantities. 

For example, if the three numbers are the object's height, temperature,
and cost, then they are of no help at finding the object's velocity.

A ray of light incident in water strikes the surface separating water from air making an angle of 10 ° with the normal to the su
labwork [276]

Answer:

a

 \theta _2  = 13^o

b

 \theta _1  =32.94^o

c

 \theta_c  =  53.05^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta_1 =  10^o

    The refractive index of water is  n_1 = 1.3

  Generally Snell's law is mathematically represented as

          n_1 sin(\theta_1) =  n_2 sin(\theta_ 2)

Here n_2 is the refractive index of air with value  n_2 =  1

         \theta_2  is the angle of refraction

So  

        \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_1 * sin(\theta _1)}{n_2} ]

=>     \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1.3 * sin(10)}{1} ]

=>     \theta _2  = 13^o

Given that the angle should not be greater than \theta _2 =45^o  then the angle of incidence will be

       \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2 * sin(\theta _2)}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1 * sin(45)}{1.3} ]

=>     \theta _1  =32.94^o

Generally for critical angle is mathematically represented as

        \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1}{1.3} ]  

=>     \theta_c  =  53.05^o

Two identical speakers are emitting a constant tone that has a wavelength of 0.50 m. Speaker A is located to the left of speaker
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a) and c).

Explanation:

For a complete destructive interference occur, it must be met the following condition relating the wavelength, and the difference in the paths taken by the sound emitted by the sources until arriving to the listening point:

d = |dA- dB| = (2n-1)*(λ/2)

For n= 1,  d = λ/2 = 0.25 m, it doesn't meet any of the cases.

For n=2, d= 3*(λ/2) = 0.75 m

In the case a) we have dA = 2.15 m and dB = 3.00 m, so dB-dA = 0.75 m, which means that in the location stated by case a) a complete destructive interference would occur.

For n=3, d= 5*(λ/2) = 5*0.25 m = 1.25 m.

This is just the case c) because we have dA = 3.75 m and dB = 2.50 m, so dA-dB = 1.25 m, which means that in the location stated by case c) a complete destructive interference would occur also.

The remaining cases don't meet the condition stated above, so the statements found to be true are a) and c),

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In magnitude, the force they apply each other is the same. Therefore, the force that the windshield exerts on the bug and the force that the bug exerts on the windshield are the same magnitude.
