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

Sayid made a chart listing data of two colliding objects. A 5-column table titled Collision: Two Objects Stick Together with 2 r
Alborosie

Answer:

6 m/s is the missing final velocity

Explanation:

From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).

Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.

Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.

We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.

In numbers, and calling P_{xi} the initial momentum of object X and P_{yi} the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: P_{total}_i=P_{xi}+P_{yi}= 300*10 \frac{kg*m}{s} -100*6\frac{kg*m}{s} =\\=(3000-600 )\frac{kg*m}{s} =2400 \frac{kg*m}{s}

Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):

Final momentum of the system: M * v_f=400kg * v_f

We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):

2400 \frac{kg*m}{s} =400kg*v_f\\\frac{2400}{400} \frac{m}{s} =v_f\\v_f=6 \frac{m}{s}

What would be the best design for an experiment that tests how much water expands when frozen?
galben [10]

B. Purchase a small plastic container and mark 1-ounce increments on the outside to determine volume. Pour 5 ounces of water into the container, and place in the freezer for 8 hours. Compare the frozen or ending volume with the liquid or beginning volume.

<h3>How much water expands when frozen?</h3>

Ice is less denser than the liquid form. Water is the only known non-metallic substance that expands when it freezes because it is the unique property of water. Water density decreases and it expands approximately  about 9% by volume. For calculating the expansion of water, plastic container is the best option. We know that water expands when the water freezes because it is a unique property of water which allows the survival of aquatic organisms.

So we can conclude that option B is the right answer.

A horse has a momentum of 25 kg*m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s. What is the horse mass?
Ne4ueva [31]
<h3>Answer:  10 kg</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

We have these variables

  • p = momentum = 25 kg*m/s
  • m = mass = unknown
  • v = velocity = 2.5 meters per second

Solving for the mass gets us...

p = m*v

25 = m*2.5

25/2.5 = m

10 = m

m = 10

The mass of the horse is 10 kg.
