Calculate the resistance of a 900.-watt toaster

Physics

     Using the Definition of Potency, we have:

P= \frac{V^2}{R}
 
     Entering the unknowns:

P= \frac{V^2}{R}  \\ 900*W= \frac{(120*V)^2}{R} \\ R= \frac{14400*V^2}{900*V*A}  \\ R=16* \frac{V}{A}  \\ \boxed {R=16Ohm}

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

Answer : Resistance is 16 ohms.

Explanation :

It is given that,

Power of toaster, P=900\ Watt

Voltage, V=120\ V

According to ohm's law, V = I R

Mathematically power is defined as :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

or

R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}

R=\dfrac{(120\ V)^2}{900\ W}

R=16\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the toaster is 16 ohms.

Hence, this is the required solution.

_____________________ are structures in cardiac muscle tissue that allow impulses to spread across the heart more rapidly.
Darya [45]

Gap junctions in the intercalated discs allow impulses to be spread across the heart more quickly. This is because gap junctions allow particles/signals to pass through, thus making cells with gap junctions more able to interact.

One more thing—you posted this in the physics section rather than biology.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T (1)

Where:

P - Pressure.

V - Volume.

n - Molar quantity, in moles.

R_{u} - Ideal gas constant.

T - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2} (2)

If we know that \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}, then the resulting pressure of the system is:

P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)

P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Which best describes the relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave?
sammy [17]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave would be the <span>energy direction is perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
