A 120-V electrical line in a home is connected to a 100-W lightbulb, a 180-W television set, a 230-W desktop computer, a 1050-W

toaster, and a 240-W refrigerator.
How much current is flowing in the line?

Answer:

Therefore,

15 Ampere current is flowing in the line.

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage, V = 120 V

Power of Appliances,

P1 = 100-W lightbulb,

P2 = 180-W television set,

P3 = 230-W desktop computer,

P4 =  1050-W toaster, and

P5 = 240-W refrigerator.

To Find:

Current  flowing in the line, I = ?

Solution:

We have Power formula,

Power=Voltage\times Current\\P=V\times I

For Household Voltage Remain Same and Current will differ and there will be a Parallel Connection for the Appliances,

Therefore,

1 .For lightbulb,

P_{1}=V\times I_{1}

Substituting the values we get

100 = 120\times I_{1}\\I_{1}=0.8333\ Ampere

2. Similarly for television,

P_{2}=V\times I_{2}

Substituting the values we get

180= 120\times I_{2}\\I_{2}=1.5\ Ampere

3. Similarly for desktop computer,

P_{3}=V\times I_{3}

Substituting the values we get

230= 120\times I_{3}\\I_{3}=1.9166\ Ampere

4. Similarly for toaster,

P_{4}=V\times I_{4}

Substituting the values we get

1050= 120\times I_{4}\\I_{4}=8.75\ Ampere

5. Similarly for refrigerator,

P_{5}=V\times I_{5}

Substituting the values we get

240= 120\times I_{5}\\I_{5}=2\ Ampere

In Parallel connection Total current 'I' is given as,

I=I_{1}+I_{2}+I_{3}+I_{4}+I_{5}

Substituting the values we get

I=0.8333+1.5+1.9166+8.75+2=14.9999\approx 15\ Ampere

Therefore,

15 Ampere current is flowing in the line.

Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and causes th
melomori [17]

The units of G must be C. m³ / ( kg s² )

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's gravitational law states that the force of attraction between two objects can be formulated as follows:

\large {\boxed {F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}} }

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² / kg² )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>R = Distance Between Objects ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

To find unit of Gravitational Constant can be carried out in the following way:

F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}

{[N]}= G\frac{{[kg]}{[kg]}}{{[m^2]}}

{[kg ~ m / s^2]}= G \frac{{[kg^2]}}{{[m^2]}}

G = \frac{{[kg ~ m / s^2]}{[m^2]}} {{[kg^2]} }

G = \frac{{[kg ~ m^3 / s^2]}} {{[kg^2]} }

G = \frac{{[m^3 / s^2]}} {{[kg]} }

\boxed {G = \frac{{[m^3]}} {{[kg ~ s^2]} }}

The unit of G must be \large {\boxed {\frac{m^3} {kg ~ s^2 }}}

Cuántas veces es mayor la masa del protón que la del electrón?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Un protón es aproximadamente 1835 veces más masivo que un electrón. Si está preguntando acerca de sus dimensiones físicas, nadie lo sabe. Los científicos actualmente no saben qué tan pequeños son los electrones. ¡Son más pequeños de lo que podemos medir actualmente y pueden no tener un tamaño en absoluto!
