A food processor draws 8.47 A of current when connected to a potential difference of 110 V.
Andreyy89

Answer:

27.95[kW*min]

Explanation:

We must remember that the power can be determined by the product of the current by the voltage.

P=V*I

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [volt]

I = amperage [Amp]

Now replacing:

P=110*8.47\\P=931.7[W]

Now the energy consumed can be obtained mediate the multiplication of the power by the amount of time in operation, we must obtain an amount in Kw per hour [kW-min]

Energy = 931.7[kW]*30[days]*10[\frac{min}{1day} ]=279510[W*min]or 27.95[kW*min]

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, v_{x} = 1 ft/s

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}

l^{2}= 500

Now,

x^{2} + y^{2} = 500                            (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0

x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}

where

\frac{dx}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

\frac{dy}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

v_{x} = velocity along the x-axis.

v_{y} = velocity along the y-axis

xv_{x} = -yv_{y}

v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s

|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay

(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay

0.25 = 2ay

\frac{0.25}{2y} = a

a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

Calculate the average distances the car and the washer traveled from the top of the track. Record the averages and your qualitat
leva [86]
The distance the car traveled was 75 cm, and the distance the washer traveled was 200 cm. I know this because of coarse I had to calculate the distance and I just took the quiz and it said I got it right.
(I also calculated it again to make sure it was correct before I gave you the answer.) 

P.S- Please mark me Brainliest, thank you (^v^).

Consider the classic problem with holiday lights, one little bulb goes out and the whole string goes out. First consider a strin
Flura [38]

Answer:

<em>a. 0.33 Amp</em>

<em>b. 2.4 Volt</em>

<em>c. 0</em>

<em>d. 2.45 Amp</em>

<em>e. Infinite</em>

<em>f. Series is safer</em>

Explanation:

<u>Series Connection of Resistors</u>

When two or more resistors are connected in series, the current through each one of them is the same, and the voltage divides depending on the particular value of each resistance. If all the resistances are equal, then the voltage is equally divided.

a. The string of 50 bulbs is connected to a 120 VAC outlet and consumes 40 W. The power of a circuit is given by

P=V.I

Solving for I

\displaystyle I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{40}{120}=0.33\ Amp

Since all the bulbs are connected in series the current is the same for all of them.

b. The voltage is equally divided, so each bulb has  120/50= 2.4 V

c. If one of the bulbs burns out and its resistance becomes infinite, then the series circuit is open and no current flows through it, neither through the rest of the bulbs. The typical case of the whole string going out.

d. If one of the bulbs short circuits, the resistance of that bulb is zero and the voltage is distributed by the 49 remaining bulbs. Thus the new current is

\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{49}=2.45\ A

e. If the bulbs were connected in parallel, all of them would have the same voltage, and the total current will be equally divided among them. In that case, a short circuit in one of the bulbs will cause a parallel short, theoretically producing an infinite current and making the short circuit protection blow up.

f. The condition described above makes the strings be made of series-connected bulbs which is safer than the parallel circuit. If a single bulb shorts, the entire string goes out in a series connection, but the breaker would trigger disconnection of the house circuit if it's a parallel connection. That is why we must deal with unusable strings instead of burning cables.
