A 110 V power line is protected by a 15 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 400 W lamps that can be simultaneously operated in

parallel on this line without "blowing" the fuse because of an excess of current

Answer:

Total number of lamps will be 4            

Explanation:

We have given power of the lamp W = 400 watt

Potential difference across the lamp V=110 volt

We know that power is equal to P=VI

So 400=110\times I

I=3.636A

Total current is given 15 A

As it is given that lamps are connected in parallel so total current is the sum of current through each lamp

So number of lamp will be n=\frac{15}{3.636}=4.125

As the lamp can not be in negative

So total number of lamps will be 4

Oxana [17]
It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
KIM [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately.

Answer:

The amount of carbon dioxide is little in deionized water.

Explanation:

Deionized water is a water with little or no impurities. Impurities are in waters are not able to boil below or above the boiling point of water,and in this case are been retained in the original container.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

-17.5 nC

Explanation:

charge A = -30 nC

charge B = -5 nC

After adding them it would be the average of the two charges because of the getting same voltage difference. so

c = (-30+(-5)) / 2 nC

c= -17.5 nC

answer is -17.5 nC
