There is a missing data in the text of the problem: the current drawn is 0.5 A (found on internet)

Solution:
The power used by the toaster is the product between the voltage V and the current I:
P=VI=(132 V)(0.5 A)=66 W=0.066 kW

The toaster is used for a time of 2 hours: t=2h, therefore the energy used is equal to
E=Pt =(0.066 kW)(2 h)=0.132 kWh

Two ice skaters push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 54.1-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.375 m
asambeis [7]

Answer:

0.338125 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Law of conservation of momentum

m'v' = mv............ Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the first skater, v' = velocity of the first skater, m = mass of the second skater, v = velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation

v = m'v'/m........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: m' = 54.1 kg, v' = 0.375 m/s, m = 60 kg

Substitute these values into equation

v = (54.1×0.375)/60

v = 20.2875/60

v = 0.338125 m/s

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

c. 2 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by:

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem, we have

f = 4 Hz is the frequency

\lambda = 0.5 m is the wavelength

So, the speed of the wave is

v=(4 Hz)(0.5 m)=2 m/s

Suppose astronomers built a 150-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter k
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to r^2 where r is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being 4\pi
S =4\pi r^2
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be 
S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.
