Answer:

I = 2.61 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a toaster is 300 watts

It is plugged into an outlet with a voltage of 115 volts

We need to find the current in the toaster's circuit.

The electrical power is given by the formula as follows :

P = V I

I is electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{300}{115}\\\\I=2.61\ A$

So, 2.61 A of current is in the toaster's circuit.

Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 40 mph. At the same tim

blagie [28]

Answer:

75.36 mph

Explanation:

The distance between the other car and the intersection is,

$x=x_{0}+V t \\ x=\frac{1}{2}+V t$

The distance between the police car and the intersection is,

$y=y_{0}+V t$

$y=\frac{1}{2}-40 t$

(Negative sign indicates that he is moving towards the intersection)

Therefore the distance between them is given by,

$z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}(\text { Using Phythogorous theorem })$

$z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)^{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)$

The rate of change is,

$2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right) V+2\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)(-40)$

$2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=V+2 V^{2} t-40+3200 t \ldots \ldots \ldots$

Now finding $z$ when $t=0,$ from (1) we have

$z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V(0)\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40(0)\right)^{2}$

$z^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ z=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 0.7071$

The officer's radar gun indicates 25 mph pointed at the other car then, $\frac{d z}{d t}=25$ when $t=0,$ from

From (2) we get

$2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40+3200(0)$

$2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40$

$35.36=V-40$

$V=35.36+40=75.36$

Hence the speed of the car is $75.36 mph$

An alternative to CFL bulbs and incandescent bulbs are light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. A 16-W LED bulb can replace a 100-W inc

Yanka [14]

Answer:

LED bulb = 0.145 A

Incandescent bulb = 0.909 A

CFL bulb = 0.218 A

Explanation:

Given:

Power rating of LED bulb (P₁) = 16 W

Power rating of incandescent bulb (P₂) = 100 W

Power rating of CFL bulb (P₃) = 24 W

Terminal voltage across the circuit (V) = 110 V

We know that, power is related to terminal voltage and current drawn as:

$P=VI$

Express this in terms of 'I'. This gives,

$I=\frac{P}{V}$

Now, calculate the current drawn in each bulb using their respective values.

For LED bulb, $P_1=16\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_1=\frac{16\ W}{110\ V}=0.145\ A$

For incandescent bulb, $P_2=100\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_2=\frac{100\ W}{110\ V}=0.909\ A$

For CFL bulb, $P_3=24\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_3=\frac{24\ W}{110\ V}=0.218\ A$

Therefore, the currents drawn through LED bulb, incandescent bulb and CFL bulb are 0.145 A, 0.909 A and 0.218 A respectively.
