Predict which current will be greater, the current passing through an electric razor or electric iron.?

2 answers:

6 0

The iron uses more current. The razor only has to run a little motor
inside, but the iron has to make enough heat to heat water inside
and keep the bottom plate hot.

<span>Heat takes much more energy than spinning a motor for tiny blades. The iron is also larger. The iron has a great resistance which is used to make heat.

Voltage (120) = resistance X current

With a greater resistance and the same voltage, the razor can draw more.</span>

What is the density of a piece of quartz with a mass of 30g and a volume of 6cm^3

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= 5 \ g/cm^3}}$

Explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

$d=\frac{m}{v}$

The mass of the quartz is 30 grams and the volume is 6 cubic centimeters.

$m=30 \ g \\v= 6 \ cm^3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$d=\frac{30 \ g}{6 \ cm^3}$

Divide.

$d= 5 \ g/cm^3$

The density of this piece of quartz is 5 grams per cubic centimeter.

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s and a speed of 42.0 m/s.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Force, |F| = 2100 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s, $\dfrac{m}{t}=50\ kg/s$

Initial speed, v = 42 m/s

The momentum is reduced to zero, final speed, v = 0

The relation between the force and the momentum is given by :

$F=\dfrac{p}{t}$

$F=\dfrac{mv}{t}$

$F=50\ kg/s\times 42\ m/s$

|F| = 2100 N

So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 2100 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Establishing a potential difference The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 10

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

$A$ = Area = $10\times 2\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}^2$

$d$ = Distance between plates = 1 mm

$V_c$ = Changed voltage = 60 V

$V$ = Initial voltage = 100 V

$R$ = Resistance = $1000\ \Omega$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 10\times 2\times 10^{-4}}{1\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=1.7708\times 10^{-11}\ \text{F}$

We have the relation

$V_c=V(1-e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}})\\\Rightarrow e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}}=1-\dfrac{V_c}{V}\\\Rightarrow -\dfrac{t}{CR}=\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-CR\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-1.7708\times 10^{-11}\times 1000\ln(1-\dfrac{60}{100})\\\Rightarrow t=1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

The time taken for the potential difference to reach the required level is $1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$ .
