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

bothersome feature of many physical measurements is the presence of a background signal (commonly called "noise"). In Part 2.2.4
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Incomplete question: "A signal of 20.7 mV is measured at a distance of 29 mm and 15.8 mV is measured at 32.5 mm. Correct the data for background and normalize the data to the maximum value. What is the normalized corrected value at 32.5 mm?"

The normalized corrected value at 32.5 mm is 0.1638

Explanation:

The corrected light measurement at 29 mm is equal to:

20.7 - 5.1 = 15.6 mV

The corrected light measurement at 32.5 mm is equal to:

15.6 - 5.1 = 10.5 mV

To normalize the data to its maximum value means that the maximum value must be calculated and the data must be scaled using that value, as in this case the maximum value is 15.6 mm, then the normalized corrected value at 32.5 mm is equal to:

10.5 * 15.6 = 163.8 = 0.1638

A fish is able to jump vertically out of the water with a speed of 4.45 m/s. What is the speed of the fish as it passes a point
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

given

initial velocity u = 4.45m/s

Height = 0.6m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

final velocity v

Using the equation of motion;

v² = u²-2gH (upward motion of the fish makes g to be negative)

v² = 4.45²-2(9.8)(0.6)

v² = 19.8025-11.76

v² = 8.0425

v = 2.84 m/s

Hence the speed of the fish as it passes a point 0.6 m above the water is 2.84m/s

To get the time, we will use the formula

v = u - gt

2.84 = 4.45 - 9.8t

2.84-4.45 = -9.8t

-1.61 = -9.8t

t = 1.61/9.8

t = 0.164secs

Hence the time taken is 0.164secs

What use do we have for motion diagrams?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

A motion diagram represents the motion of an object by displaying its location at various equally spaced times on the same diagram. Motion diagrams are a pictorial description of an object's motion. They show an object's position and velocity initially and present several spots in the center of the diagram.
