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

If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline =  40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe = \frac{40}{5}

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore  

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Sugar in coffee dissolves.

Explanation:

In this case we have a solution, which is defined as separating what was bound in some way, by homogeneously mixing the molecules of a substance into a liquid. Therefore, it is the resulting homogeneous mixture after dissolving any substance in a liquid.

Can someone help me? Idk why I can't understand this
olya-2409 [2.1K]
It's been a while since I've studied this, but my answers would be:

13. 5730 years. The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of it to decay, and, according to the graph, half of the substance remained at 5730 years.

14. 10740 years. According to the graph, only 25% of the carbon remained after 10740 years.

15. 15 atoms. According to the graph, only 12.5% of the carbon remained after 16110 years. 12.5% of 120 atoms is 15 atoms.

16. 1600 atoms. According to the graph, if a sample of carbon is 10740 years old, only 25% of it remains. To find the original amount, multiply the current amount by (100% / 25%), which equals 4. So, 4. 400 atoms * 4 = 1600 atoms is the original amount.
