An electrician must decide between 3 heaters. The wire that she is using is rated 15A maximum, anything beyond that is a fire ha

zard. Two of the heaters operate off a standard 120V circuit. One is rated 900W and the other 1800W. The third operates off a 240V circuit and can deliver 3000W of power. Calculate the amount of current for each.

Use the formula: P=IV, where P is power (watts), I is current (amperes) and V is potential difference (volts).

For the first heater:
900W = I_{1}*120V
I_{1} = 7.5A


For the second heater:
1800W = I_{2}*120V
I_{2} = 15A


For the third heater:
3000W = I_{3}*240V
I_{3} = 12.5A

A 0.l ‑kilogram block is attached to an initially unstretched spring of force constant k = 40 N/m as shown right. The block is d
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

When the spring is stretched, it acquires potential energy. When released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If there is no friction nor any dissipative forces, all the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy according to the energy conservation theorem.

The equation of elastic potential energy (EPE) is the following:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretching distance.

The elastic potential energy is maximum when the block has no kinetic energy, just before releasing it.

Then:

EPE = 1/2 · 40 N/m · (0.1 m)²

EPE = 0.2 J

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J
