<u>Answer:</u> The resistance of the hair dryer is $12\Omega$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ohm's law is defined as the law which gives us the relationship between voltage, resistance and current.

Mathematically,

$V=I\times R$

where,

V = voltage of the hair dryer = 120 V

I = current of the hair dryer = 10 A

R = resistance of the hair dryer = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$120=10\times R\\\\R=\frac{120}{10}=12\Omega$

Hence, the resistance of the hair dryer is $12\Omega$

brainly a child on a swing set swings back and forth with a period of 3.3 s and an amplitude of 25°. what is the maximum speed o

beks73 [17]

Maximum speed of the child as she swings is 2.23 m/s.

<h3>Step by Step Calculation:</h3>

T=3.3 s is the oscillation's time period.

The swing's greatest angle is 25° (max).

The swing's bottom will have the following kinetic energy:

k=12mv2...........(1)

The mass in this situation is m, and the speed is v.

The potential energy change is expressed as,

∆U=mgL1-cosθmax...............(2)

Here, L is a string's length and g is the acceleration caused by gravity. L is given as,

L=gT24π2

Combine equation (1) with (2)

12mv2=mgL1-cos, maxv=2g, maxv=gT24, maxv=g2T22, maxv=9.8 m/s

22.33 m/s, 22.31 s22.31 cos25°

Therefore, the child's top speed is 2.23 m/s.

<h3>What is Oscillation ?</h3>

The process of any quantity or measure fluctuating repeatedly about its equilibrium value in time is known as oscillation.
A periodic change in a substance's value between two values or around its central value is another way to define oscillation.

An elephant and a mouse would both have zero weight in gravity-free space. If they were moving toward you with the same speed, w

Dovator [93]

The elephant and the mouse having zero weight in a gravity free space will not bump into you at the same effect.

<u>Explanation: </u>

When both are in a gravity free space, the weights are zero, as we know that the $\text {weight of the body}=\text {mass of the body} \times \text {acceleration due to gravity}$

$\text {here, the weight of elephant}=\text {mass of elephant } \times \text {zero gravti} y=zero$

$\text {similarly,weight of mouse}=\text {mass of mouse } \times \text {zero gravity}=zero$

But when they will acquire the speed of same magnitude, say v, their different masses will acquire different momentum, which will make the difference in effect while bumping.

$\text { momentum of elephant }=\text { mass of elephant } \times v$ $\text { momentum of mouse = mass of mouse } \times v$

And as we know $\text { mass of elephant }>\text { mass of mouse }$ Therefore, effect of impact by elephant will be more than that of mouse . An elephant breaking into you will take you back faster than a mouse in space hits you.
