Answer:

   I= 27.09 A

Explanation:

Power of electric heater = 1500W= 1.50*10³ W

Power of toaster = 750W = 7.5*10²W

Power of electric grill = 1000W =1*10³ W

Voltage = 120V

By using formula P=VI ie I = \frac{P}{V}

A) Current used by electric heater I₃ =\frac{1.50*10^3}{120}

                    I₃ = 12.5 A

B) Current used by toaster I₂ =\frac{750}{120}

                I₂ = 6.25 A

C) Current used by electric grill I₃ = \frac{1000}{120}

                   I₃ = 8.34 A

Current used by all three appliances is

       I=I₁+I₂+I₃

        I=12.5+6.25+8.34

         I= 27.09 A

A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires. Two of the wires make angles of theta1=60.0 degrees and th
Murljashka [212]
The sketch of the system is: two strings, 1 and 2, are attached to the ceiling and to a third string, 3.The third string holds the bag of cement. 

The free body diagram of the weight with the string 3, drives to the tension T3 = weihgt => T3 = 325 N

The other free body diagram is around the joint of the three strings.

In this case, you can do the horizontal forces equilibrium equation as:

T1* cos(60) - T2*cos(40) = 0

And the vertical forces equilibrium equation:

Ti sin(60) + T2 sin(40) = T3 = 325 N

Then you have two equations with two unknown variables, T1 and T2

0.5 T1 - 0.766 T2 = 0

 0.866 T1 + 0.643T2 = 325

When you solve it you get, T1 = 252.8 N and T2 = 165 N

Answer: T1 = 252.8 N, T2 = 165N, and T3 = 325N

.A particle starts on the origin. It is pushed back to -5.7 m in 2.1 s. Then it is pushed
harina [27]

Answer: The average velocity is -0.965m/s

Explanation: The first step is to calculate the two velocities is both directions. A velocity is a distance per unit time.

V=d/ t

=-5.7/2.1

=-2.7m/s

For the other direction the velocity is

V=7.3/9.5

=0.77m/s

The average velocity the add the velocities and divide them by 2.

V=-2.7+0.77/2

V= 0.965m/s
