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

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

A spherical shell of radius 9.0 cm carries a uniform surface charge density σ= 9.0 nC/m2. The electric field at r= 9.1 cm is app
maria [59]

Answer:

995.12 N/C

Explanation:

R = 9 cm = 0.09 m

σ = 9 nC/m^2 = 9 x 10^-9 C/m^2

r = 9.1 cm = 0.091 m

q = σ x 4π R² = 9 x 10^-9 x 4 x 3.14 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 9.156 x 10^-10 C

E = kq / r^2

E = ( 9 x 10^9 x 9.156 x 10^-10) / (0.091 x 0.091)

E = 995.12 N/C

A positive charge of 1 µC is taken from points A &amp; B such that VA-VB = 100 V. Then the
Lunna [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Let Charge of 1\ \mu C is taken from points A & B such that V_A-V_B=1000\ V.

We need to find the energy of charge. Electric potential is defined as the work done per unit of electric charge. So,

W=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\W=-1000\times 10^{-6}\\\\W=E=-10^{-3}\ J

So, the energy of charge decreases by 10^{-3}\ J. Hence, the correct option  is (a).
