the power which is used by the toaster when plugged into 120 V outlet having resistance of 460 ohm, is 31.3 W.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The toaster is given to be plugged into a 120 V outlet. The power it uses can be calculated using the following method,

Given that Voltage V=120 V

Resistance R=460 ohm

As we know that,

$\text { Power }=\text { Voltage } \times \text { Current }$

$\text {And Current}=\frac{\text {Voltage}}{\text {Resistance}}$

$\text { therefore, Power }=\text { Voltage } \times \text { Current }=\text { Voltage } \times \frac{\text { voltage }}{\text { Resistance }}$

$\text { Power }=\frac{\text { Voltage }^{2}}{\text { Resistance }}$

Substituting the values, we get,

$\text { Power }=\frac{120 \times 120}{460}=\frac{14400}{460}=31.3 \mathrm{Watts}$

Therefore, the power which is used by the toaster when plugged into 120 V outlet having resistance of 460 ohm, is 31.3 W.

They have the same velocity because their displacements (shortest line from point A to point B, which is a straight line) are the same and they meet at the same time.

jeka94

Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

This is because friction tends to oppose the motion of an object. Since the unbalance force or net force causes a motion of the object, the frictional force would tend to oppose the object until it is large enough to balance the net force. When this is done, equilibrium is achieved.

At this instance, there is no net force acting on the object.

So, the forces on the object become balanced and in a state of equilibrium.

A 5.0 g coin is placed 15 cm from the center of a turntable. The coin has static and kinetic coefficients of friction with the t

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Angular speed will reach 6.833rad/s before the coin starts slipping

Explanation:

There is no question but I'll asume the common one: Calculate the speed of the turntable before the coin starts slipping.

With a sum of forces:

$Ff = m*a$

$Ff=m*V^2/R$

At this point, friction force is maximum, so:

$\mu*N=m*V^2/R$

$\mu*m*g=m*V^2/R$

Solving for V:

$V=\sqrt{\mu*g*R}$

V=1.025 m/s

The angular speed of the turntable will be:

ω = V/R = 6.833 rad/s This is the maximum speed it can reach before the coin starts slipping.

Answer:

D. n=6 to n=2

Explanation:

Given;

energy of emitted photon, E = 3.02 electron volts

The energy levels of a Hydrogen atom is given as; E = -E₀ /n²

where;

E₀ is the energy level of an electron in ground state = -13.6 eV

n is the energy level

From the equation above make n, the subject of the formula;

n² = -E₀ / E

n² = 13.6 eV / 3.02 eV

n² = 4.5

n = √4.5

n = 2

When electron moves from higher energy level to a lower energy level it emits photons;

$E = E_0(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} )\\\\\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} = \frac{E}{E_o} \\\\\frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} = \frac{3.02}{13.6} \\\\\frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} =0.222\\\\\frac{1}{n_2^2} = 0.25 - 0.22\\\\\frac{1}{n_2^2} = 0.03\\\\n_2^2 = 33.33\\\\n_2 = \sqrt{33.33} = 6$

For a photon to be emitted, electron must move from higher energy level to a lower energy level. The higher energy level is 6 while the lower energy level is 2

Therefore, The electron energy-level transition is from n = 6 to n = 2
