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 car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and ________ energy.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Mechanical energy

Explanation:

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy can be defined as the type of energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or position. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, that is, the sum of energy in motion and stored energy. Examples of mechanical energy includes driving a car, riding a bicycle, listening to music etc.

Types of mechanical energy

1. Motion energy (kinetic energy)

2. Stored energy(potential energy)

Mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

A centripetal force of 5.0 newtons is applied to a rubber stopper moving at a constant speed in a horizontal circle. If the same
mezya [45]

Answer:

Both the frequency f and velocity v will increase.

When the radius reduces, the circumference of the circular path becomes smaller which means that more number of revolutions can be made per unit time as long as the force is kept constant; this is an increase in frequency.

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on a mass in circular motion is given by equation (1);

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}....................(1)

where m is the mass of the object and r is radius of the circle. From equation one we see that the centripetal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity and inversely proportional to the radius of the circular path.

However, according to the problem, the force is constant while the radius and the velocity changes. Therefore we can write the following equation;

\frac{mv_1^2}{r_1}=\frac{mv_2^2}{r_2}......................(2)

Also recall that m is constant so it cancels out from both sides of equation (2). Therefore from equation we can write the following;

v_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1^2r_2}{r_1}} .................(2)

By observing equation (2) carefully, the ratio \frac{r_2}{r_1} will with the square root increase v_1 since r_2 is lesser than r_1.

Hence by implication, the value of v_2 will be greater than v_1.

As the radius changes from r_1 to r_2, the velocity also changes from v_1 to v_2.
