is plugged into the outlet of a 120−V circuit that has a 20−A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same out

let. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600−W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips.

Answer:

Given the point of maximun electric power of the hair dryer 1500 (w); The circuit breaker won´t trip at all

Explanation:

The most simplyfied  relation between power, voltage and current is:

Electric power (in watts) =Voltage (in volts) * current (in ampers)

In the case of P= 1500 (w) and V= 120 (v) we have:

I = 1500/120 (a)    = 12,65 (a)

This value  is far away of 20 (a) (the nominal trip current

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. We replace one of the objects with an
Alona [7]

Answer:

F'= 4F/9

Explanation:

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. If r is the distance between them, then the force is given by :

F=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2} ...(1)

Now, if one of the objects with another whose net charge is + 4Q is replaced and also the distance between +Q and +4Q charges is increased 3 times as far apart as they were. New force is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kQ\times 4Q}{(3r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}.....(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}}{\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}\times \dfrac{9r^2}{4kQ^2}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4F}{9}

Hence, the correct option is (d) i.e. " 4F/9"

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

   = ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

   = 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

   = ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

   = 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

   = 239.73 rad

a hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 10.3 m at a constant speed of 4.8 m/s. find its centripetal acceleration. answer in u
n200080 [17]

The hawk’s centripetal acceleration is 2.23 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration under new conditions is 2.316 m/s²

radius of the horizontal arc = 10.3 m

the initial constant speed = 4.8 m/s

we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by

    a_{c}  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

   a_{c}  = 23.04/10.3

    a_{c}  = 2.23 m/s²

It continues to fly but now with some tangential acceleration

a_{t} = 0.63 m/s²

therefore the net value of acceleration is given by the resultant of the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration

so

a_{net}  =  \sqrt{a_{c} ^{2} +a_{t} ^{2}   }

a_{net}  =  \sqrt{4.97 + 0.396}

a_{net}  =  2.316 m/s²

So the magnitude of  net acceleration will become 2.316 m/s².
