A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that

of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A. Determine the power consumed by (a) the blow-dryer and (b) the vacuum cleaner. (c) Determine the ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes.

Answer:

a) 1450watts

b) 564watts

c) 1.11

Explanation:

Power consumed = IV

I is the current rating

V is the operating voltage

If a blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V and the current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A then their individual power rating is calculated thus;

a) For blow-dryer

Operating voltage = 120V

Its current rating = 12A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×12

= 1440watts

b) For vacuum cleaner:

Operating voltage is the same as that of blow dryer = 120V

Its current rating = 4.7A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×4.7

= 564watts

c) Energy used = Power consumed × time taken

Energy used = Power × time

Energy used by blow dryer = 1440×20×60

= 1,728,000Joules

Energy used up by vacuum cleaner = 564×46×60

= 564×2760

= 1,556,640Joules

Ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes will be 1,728,000/1,556,640 = 1.11

an astronaut on earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. if she were instead in
nadya68 [22]

The gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is gravitational force?</h3>

All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.

As we know, the gravitational force is given by:

\rm F = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant.

m1 and m2 are masses.

r is the distance between the masses.

Weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

g does not affect astronauts on earth in a lunar module.

Thus, the gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

you know that there are 1609 meter in a mile. the number of feet in a mile is 5280. what is the speed snail from problem 7 per m
Zanzabum

Answer:

We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters, and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

The second fraction on each side of the equation is equal to ' 1 ', because

the numerator is equal to the denominator, so sticking it in there doesn't

change the value of that side of the equation.  But now we can cancel some

units,and wind up with the units we need.

  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

        (1,609 x100) centimeters  =  (5,280 x 12) inches

            160,900 centimeters  =  63,360 inches

Divide each side by  63,360 :        2.54 centimeters =  1 inch

A. Draw four rays parallel to the optical axis of your mirror. Two above the optic axis and two below it.
Katen [24]

Answer:

   f = q

Explanation:

In the attachment we can see a diagram of the parallel rays.

The dotted line represents the normal to the mirror surface

These rays when reflected using the constructor equation

        \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Since the rays are parallel P = inf

          1 / f = 1 / inf + 1 / q

          f = q

this means that all the rays focus on one focal point.

Edge 2020 waves and diffraction lab report d a t a ​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:Theoretical Discussion

The diffraction of classical waves refers to the phenomenon wherein the waves encounter an obstacle that fragments the wave into components that interfere with one another. Interference simply means that the wave fronts add together to make a new wave which can be significantly different than the original wave. For example, a pair of sine waves having the same amplitude, but being 180◦ out of phase will sum to zero, since everywhere one is positive, the other is negative by an equal amount.

Which statement about the minerals plagioclase feldspar, gypsum, biotite mica, and talc can best be inferred from the chart? (1)
madreJ [45]

Answer:

(4) The physical and chemical properties of these minerals determine how humans use them.

Explanation:

All the materials and the metals found on earth shows certain characteristics naturally or in their physical state. These physical characteristics can be their look, their structure, their color, strength, melting point, boiling point, density, etc.

And chemical properties of the metals are defined as those characteristics or features of the metals that it exhibits when these metals reacts chemically.

The physical properties as well as the chemical properties distinguishes each metal from each other. These properties determines how people use these metals in their life.
