In the living room of your house you would like to run a 360 W stereo, a 30 W computer, a 720 W laser light projector, and four

60 W lights. Assuming your house is wired for 120 Volts, how much current will be pulled by these electrical devices

Answer:

9.75 A.

Explanation:

Current: This can be defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit.

Note: Total power in the living room = 360 W + 30 W + 720 W + 60 W = 1170 W.

Using the formula of electric power,

P = VI ........................... Equation 1

Where P = Total power in the living room, V = Voltage, I = current.

Make I the subject of the equation,

I = P/V .......................... Equation 2

Given: P = 1170 W, V = 120 V.

Substitute into equation 2

I = 1170/120

I = 9.75 A.

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?
Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges  but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in  a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet,  and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

describe the advantages and disadvantages of bilingualism in childhood. Be sure to support your answer with information you lear
eduard
I have no idea what lesson you're talking about, but I am multilingual so I'm sure my answer can suffice for the small amount of details.

One advantage of being bilingual as a child is that, when faced with text written in a different language nobody else but you understands, you can save everyone's butt from taking out inaccurate translators for that text.

The disadvantage that follows that is the fact that people will now recognize you as that one dude that speaks every language, even if you don't. So, now, you have everybody coming up to you to translate everything they don't understand.

Another advantage is that you can read something everyone else would find disturbing (like, my graphic horror/action stories) without anybody understanding it because it's in another language.

The disadvantage that follows is that they're almost always going to be nosy brats and asking what every word means.

The last advantage I'll list is that you can get away with saying stuff. Like, "man, that woman must be on something", or, "darned drunkards", without starting up a fight with them, because, really, who's going to understand Thai way over in America? (I honestly wouldn't recommend risking it, though. Speaking of which...)

The last disadvantage here is the fact that you won't know who speaks these languages around you. For all you know, your best friend had understood every comment about the loony across the street and simply chose not to comment on it.

So, for the final conclusion, knowing different languages is great and all, but it's not that great.

A spring with a constant of 16 N/m has 98 J of energy stored in it when it is extended. How far is the spring extended?
Alchen [17]

The spring has been extended for 3.5 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have the formula,

PE =1/2 K X²

Rewrite the equation as

PE=1/2 K d²

multiply both the sides by 2/K to simplify the equation

2/k . PE= 1/2 K  d² . 2/K

√d²=√2PE/K

Cancelling the root value and now we have,

d=√2PE/k

d=√2×98 J / 16N/m

d=√12.25

d=3.5 m

The spring has been extended for 3.5 m

which changes of state should she place in the column titled "lose energy"?freezing, boiling, and meltingmelting, vaporization,
Blababa [14]
Freezing (liquid to solid)
Deposition (gas to solid)
Condensation (gas to liquid)

All three of these state changes are a result of a energy loss. When considering energy loss it is best to think of situations where temperature has dropped. Less energy in the system results in less energy the substance is exposed to or has available.

Monochromatic light falls on a metal surface that has a work function of 6.7 x 10-19 J. Each photon has an energy of 8.0 x 10-19
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Correct answer: (a) Ekmax =  1.3 · 10⁻¹⁹ J, (b) ε = 5 eV, (c) f = 1.21 · 10¹⁵ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

photon energy  ε = 8 · 10⁻¹⁹ J

work function for metal  Wf = 6.7 · 10⁻¹⁹ J

(a) Ekmax = ?

The Einstein equation for photo effect is:

ε = Wf + Ekmax  ⇒ Ekmax = ε - Wf

Ekmax = 8 · 10⁻¹⁹ - 6.7 · 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.3 · 10⁻¹⁹ J

Ekmax =  1.3 · 10⁻¹⁹ J

(b)  ε = ? eV

the relationship between 1 eV and 1 J is:

1 eV = 1.6 · 10⁻¹⁹ J

so the energy of one photon in eV equals:

ε = 8 · 10⁻¹⁹ J = 8 · 10⁻¹⁹ / 1.6 · 10⁻¹⁹ eV = 5 eV

ε = 5 eV

(c)  f = ?

the energy of a single photon is calculated according to the formula:

ε = h · f  

where is:

h = 6.62 ·  10⁻³⁴ J s    plank constant

and f  frequency of each photon (electromagnetic radiation)

f = ε / h = 8 · 10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.62 ·  10⁻³⁴ J s = 1.21 · 10¹⁵ s⁻¹ =  1.21 · 10¹⁵ Hz

f = 1.21 · 10¹⁵ Hz

God is with you!!!
