Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Power drawn by toaster P_1=1840\ W

Power drawn by Electric fan P_2=1460\ W

Power drawn by lamp P_3=50\ W

Voltage applied V=120\ V

If appliances are applied in parallel then Voltage applied is same

Power is given by P=\frac{V^2}{R}

Resistance of toaster R_1=\frac{120^2}{1840}=7.82\ \Omega

Resistance of electric Fan R_2=\frac{120^2}{1460}=9.86\ \Omega

Resistance of toaster R_3=\frac{120^2}{50}=288\ \Omega

Current is given by

I=\frac{V}{R}

I_1=\frac{120}{7.82}=15.34\ A

I_2=\frac{120}{9.86}=12.17\ A

I_3=\frac{120}{288}=0.416\ A

Answer:

Explanation:

power of toaster, P1 = 1840 W

Power of electric frying pan, P2 = 1460 W

Power of lamp, P3 = 50 W

As they all are connected in parallel, so the voltage is same for all.

Let the current in toaster is i1.

P1 = V x i1

1840 = 120 x i1

i1 = 15.33 A

Let the current in frying pan is i2.

P2 = V x i2

1460 = 120 x i1

i1 = 12.17 A

Let the current in lamp is i3.

P3 = V x i3

50 = 120 x i3

i3 = 0.42 A

The moment of inertia is 24.8 kg m^2

Explanation:

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

I_r = \frac{1}{12}ML^2

where

M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod

L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod

Substituting,

I_r = \frac{1}{12}(24)(0.96)^2=1.84 kg m^2

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

I_b = mr^2

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball

r=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{0.96}{2}=0.48 m is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation

So we have

I_b = (50)(0.48)^2=11.5 kg m^2

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

I=I_r + 2I_b = 1.84+ 2(11.5)=24.8 kg m^2

klemol [59]

Answer:

3.62m/s and 2.83m/s

Explanation:

Apply conservation of momentum

For vertical component,

Pfy = Piy

m* Vof (sin38) - m*Vgf (sin52) = 0

Divide through by m

Vof(sin38) - Vgf(sin52) = 0

Vof(sin38) = Vgf(sin52)

Vof (sin38/sin52) = Vgf

0.7813Vof = Vgf

For horizontal component

Pxf= Pxi

m* Vof (cos38) - m*Vgf (cos52) = m*4.6

Divide through by m

Vof(cos38) + Vgf(cos52) = 4.6

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vof(cos38) + 0.7813 Vof(cos52) = 4.6

0.7880Vof + 0.4810Vof = 4.

1.269Vof = 4.6

Vof = 4.6/1.269

Vof = 3.62m/s

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vgf = 0.7813 * 3.62

Vgf = 2.83m/s

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul
ozzi
The correct answer is 
B It increases.

In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass and proportional to the square of the speed: in this problem, the speed of the object remains the same, while its mass increases, therefore the kinetic energy will increase as well.
