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.

How do characteristics help you to classify seeds?
Artyom0805 [142]

Characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

<h3>How are characteristics used to identify and classify plants?</h3>

The divisions classify plants that are based on whether they reproduce by spores or seeds. Spore-bearing plants include ferns, club mosses, and horsetail while on the other hand, Seed-bearing plants are divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. Different plants have different characteristics and features so on the basis of these characteristics we can easily classify seeds whether they belong from angiosperm and gymnosperm.

So we can conclude that characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. complete the sentence to describe the distance and ruler postulates. between
Tresset [83]

This question is an illustration of the distance postulate.

<h3>What is distance postulate ?</h3>

The distance between any two different points equates to a single positive real integer, according to the postulate of distance.

The full text is: The distance is a positive unique integer between every pair of different locations.

Consider two separate points A and B as an example.

The distance between A and B is the integer that represents the size of A and B.

The positive number (i.e. the distance) between A and B would be:

d= B-A

d = 6 - 1

d = 1

8. Fig. 4.1 shows a heavy ball B of weight W suspended from a fixed beam by two ropes P and Q.
mart [117]

Answer:

The resultant tension of the two ropes is approximately 42.4 N

The length of the line representing the resultant tension is approximately 8.48 cm

Please find included  with the answer the scale drawing created with Microsoft Word

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The tension in rope P, T_P = 30 N

The tension in rope Q, T_Q = 30 N

The angle the rope, 'P', makes with the horizontal = 45°

The angle the rope, 'Q', makes with the horizontal = 45°

The scale factor of the scale diagram, S.F. = 5.0 N/cm

By the resolution of forces at equilibrium, we have;

The sum of the vertical forces, \Sigma F_y = T_P_y + T_Q_y + W = 0

∴ W = -(T_P_y + T_Q_y)

W = -(30 × sin(45°) + 30 × sin(45°)) = -42.4264068712

The weight of the heavy ball, W ≈ 42.4 N acting downwards

The sum of the horizontal forces, \Sigma F_x = T_P_x + T_Q_x  = 0

The length of the resultant force, W = W/(S.F.) ≈ 42.4 N/(5.0 N/cm) = 8.48 cm

The drawing of the vectors using the scale factor of 5.0 N/cm is created using Microsoft Word is included
