Voltage is given by the formula

V = IR (Ohms law)

where V is the Voltage

I is the current

and R is the Resistance

Here it is given that the current is I=11

Resistance is R =12

so plugging this in the formula

V = IR

V= 11 * 12

V= 132 Volts

So the Voltage for the given dryer is 132 Volts

Answer:

Chemical and Biological weathering.

Explanation:

Processes that break down and weaken earth minerals are known as weathering. Over time, this can lead to erosion, in which huge sections of rock and stone are carried away, changing landscapes. Physical weathering alters the material structure of rocks, while chemical weathering alters their chemical structure.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

$v = f\lambda$

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = $\frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz$

Therefore,

$v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\$
