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.

A flywheel with a radius of 0.300 m starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2. Compu

boyakko [2]

Answer:

0.42 m/s²

Explanation:

r = radius of the flywheel = 0.300 m

w₀ = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

w = final angular speed = ?

θ = angular displacement = 60 deg = 1.05 rad

α = angular acceleration = 0.6 rad/s²

Using the equation

w² = w₀² + 2 α θ

w² = 0² + 2 (0.6) (1.05)

w = 1.12 rad/s

Tangential acceleration is given as

$a_{t}$ = r α = (0.300) (0.6) = 0.18 m/s²

Radial acceleration is given as

$a_{r}$ = r w² = (0.300) (1.12)² = 0.38 m/s²

Magnitude of resultant acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_{t}^{2} + a_{r}^{2}}$

$a = \sqrt{0.18^{2} + 0.38^{2}}$

$a$ = 0.42 m/s²

When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

$\Delta T = T_f - T_i$

where

$T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 23.6 C$

Substituting into the formula,

$\Delta T=29.8 C-23.6 C=6.2 C$

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.

3) -40.6 C

The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

$\Delta T = T_f - T_i$

where

$T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 70.4 C$

Substituting into the formula,

$\Delta T=29.8 C-70.4 C=-40.6 C$

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.

How to measure the volume of a baseball bat ( need answers ASAP )

vaieri [72.5K]

<em>Measure the amount of water it displaces.</em>

This won't be easy, because the bat floats in water. But I think you can get around that little problem like this:

-- Get some kind of a tank or tub that's big enough to hold the whole bat under water.

-- Get a heavy weight, like a big wrench or a small rock.

-- Fill the tub almost to the tippy top with water.

-- Slip the heavy weight into the tub, slowly. Some water will run over the top and out of the tub. That's OK ... it's exactly what you want. If NO water runs over the top, pour some more in, until it runs out and then stops. You want the tub full to the brimmy rim with the rock at the bottom of it.

-- Take the heavy weight out of the tub.

-- Now set the tub into a bigger tub or a deep pan. The next time it overflows and some water runs out of it, you'll need to catch that water and measure it.

-- Get a short piece of heavy string. Tie the heavy weight to somewhere near the middle of the bat.

-- Slowly slide the bat into the water, with the rock tied to it. The bat needs to go complete underwater.

-- Some more water will run over the top and out of the tub, and INTO the lower tub. Wait until the overflow stops and everything settles down again.

-- Take the bat (tied to the weight) out of the tub. Slowly and carefully, so that your hand or your arm doesn't make any MORE water run over and out.

-- Lift the upper tub out of the lower tub.

-- Take the lower tub, with the overflow water in it. Using a kitchen measuring cup, or a saucepan or a bottle, or anything else with liquid amounts marked on it, measure how much water overflowed into the lower tub.

THAT amount is the volume of the bat.

You may have to do some units conversions. Like if you need the volume of the bat in cm³ and you used measuring vessels marked in fluid ounces. But you can find all those conversion factors with a search on Floogle.

A physicist found that a force of 1.32 N was measured between two charged spheres. The distance between the spheres was 95 cm. C

labwork [276]

The electric force (and the gravitational force too) is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects involved.

In this question, the distance is increased by a factor of (1.25/0.95) .

So the electric force will change by the factor of (0.95/1.25)² .

The new force is

(1.32 N) · (0.95/1.25)² = 0.762... newton (rounded)

If f(x) = -3x +4 and g(x) = 2, solve for the value of x for<br>which (fx) = g(x) is true.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$x=-\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

Let:

$f(x)=-3x+4\\\\And\\\\g(x)=2$

We need to know for which value of $x$ the function $f(x)$ is equal to $g(x)$ :

$f(x)=g(x)$

Therefore, we need to solve for the previous equation for $x$ :

Replacing the values of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ :

$-3x+4=2$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$-3x+4-4=2-4\\\\-3x=-2$

Multiply both sides by -1

$-3x(-1)=-2(-1)\\\\3x=2$

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3} \\\\x=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore the value of $x$ for which $f(x)=g(x)$ is $x=\frac{2}{3}$ .

Verify the result:

$-3(\frac{2}{3} )+4=2\\\\-2+4=2\\\\2=2$
