A 500-watt vacuum cleaner is plugged into a 120-volt outlet and used for 30 minutes. How much current runs through the vacuum?

2 answers:

4 0

   Power = (voltage) x (current)

   500 W = (120 v) x (current)

   Current = (500 w) / (120 v) = 4-1/6 amperes .

Power and current are both rates.
Power is the rate of using energy ... joules per second.
Current is the rate of flowing charge ... coulombs per second.
Neither quantity depends on how long you keep it up.
They're both going on continuously while the vacuum is running.

If 34.7 g of O2 reacts with iron to form 79.34 g of iron oxide, how much iron was used in the reaction?

zhuklara [117]

Answer: B. 44.64 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Mass of reactants = mass of iron + mass of oxygen = mass of iron + 34.7 g

Mass of product = mass of iron oxide = 79.34 g

As Mass of reactants = Mass of product

mass of iron + 34.7 g = 79.34 g

mass of iron = 44.64 g

Thus 44.64 g of iron was used in the reaction

An oven uses 4500 watts of power in 2 minutes, how much work was done?

jolli1 [7]

First of all we state the formula
Power=work done/time
we can rearrange this formula as well
work done=power x time

Since the SI unit of time is in seconds we change the minutes to seconds
2mins= 60x2 = 120 seconds

Using our formula (work done=power x time) we simply put in the values
work done = 4500 x 120
work done = 540,000J

You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this state

posledela

Answer:

a) y₂ = 49.1 m , t = 1.02 s , b) y = 49.1 m , t= 1.02 s

Explanation:

a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero

$v_{y}$ ² = $v_{oy}$ ² - 2 g (y –yo)

The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height

y-yo = $v_{oy}² /2 g
 y- 0 = 10.0²/2 9.8
 y - 0 = 5.10 m
 
The height from the ground is the height that rises from the reference system plus the depth of the ground from the reference system
 y₂ = 5.1 + 44
 y₂ = 49.1 m
Let's use the other equation to find the time
 [tex]v_{y}$ = $v_{oy}$ - g t

t = $v_{oy}$ / g

t = 10 / 9.8

t = 1.02 s

b) the maximum height

y- 44.0 = $v_{y}$ ² / 2 g

y - 44.0 = 5.1

y = 5.1 +44.0

y = 49.1 m

The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height

t = 1.02 s

How can you tell if an igneous rock has an intrusive or extrusive origin?

wariber [46]

Intrusive igneous rocks cool down from magma slowly because they form underneath the surface, that will make them have large crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool down from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so that will make them have small crystals.
