An 1800-W toaster, a 1400-W electric frying pan, and a 75-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15-A, 120-V circuit. (The

three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.). (a) What current is drawn by each device? (b) Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

Answer:

a) Current drawn by toaster = 1800/120 = 15 A

Current drawn by electric fan = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

Current drawn by lamp = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b) Yes

Explanation:

Given:

Power of toaster = 1800 W

Power of electric frying pan = 1400 W

power of lamp = 75 W

applied voltage = 120 V

a) Now,

Power = Current × Voltage

thus,

Current = Power / voltage

since, all the devices are parallel. thus, the potential difference across each device will be same

therefore,

Current drawn by toaster = 1800/120 = 15 A

Current drawn by electric fan = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

Current drawn by lamp = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b)  Total current drawn by the combination, I = 15 A + 11.67 A + 0.625 A = 27.295 A

since. I > 15 A fuse

hence, the combination will blow the fuse.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?
Alenkasestr [34]

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.


2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is g=9.81 m/s^2.

a particle with a charge of 5.5 x 10^-8 c is 3.5 cm from a particle with a charge of -2.3 x10^-8 c. the potential energy of this
Yuri [45]

Answer:

-32.5 * 10^-5 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of this system of charges is;

Ue = kq1q2/r

Where;

k is the Coulumb's constant

q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges

r is the distance of separation between the charges

Substituting values;

Ue = 9.0×10^9 N⋅m2/C2 * 5.5 x 10^-8 C *( -2.3 x10^-8) C/(3.5 * 10^-2)

Ue= -32.5 * 10^-5 J

When stated as a percentage, the useful energy transferred by a device divided by the total energy supplied to the device is kno
Verdich [7]

Efficiency

Explanation:

Efficiency is a ratio/percentage that is useful in comparing the energy transferred by a device to the total energy supplied to it.

  Percentage efficiency = \frac{energy input}{total energy supplied} x 100

  • As with most system, none is 100% efficient.
  • During energy is transferred some are lost and only a little portion is used in doing actual work by the machine.
  • This validates the third law of thermodynamics which proposes that no system is 100% efficient.
  • A 100% efficiency implies total energy input is used doing all the work.
  • This is impossible. The bulk of the energy goes into heating the system.
