To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

Where,
m = Mass
v = Velocity
Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is



On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is


Where,
m = Mass
Specific Heat
Change at temperature
Latent heat of fussion
Heat required to heat up to melting point,




The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.
Answer:
(a) 1320 W
(b) 480 W
(c) E':E ≈ 11:2
Explanation:
(a) Applying,
P' = VI'................. Equation 1
Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.
From the question,
Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A
Substitute these values into equation 1
P = (120×11)
P = 1320 W
(b) Similarly,
P = VI................... Equation 2
Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.
Also Given: I = 4 A,
Therefore
P = 4(120)
P = 480 W
(c)
E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3
E = P/t................ Equation 4
Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner
From the question,
Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds
Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4
E' = 1320/900
E' = 1.47 J,
E = 480/1800
E = 0.267
Therefore,
E':E = 1.47:0.267
E':E ≈ 11:2
A is the only logical answer
