The heater element of a particular 120-V toaster is a 8.9-m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.86 mm. The resistivity

of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 Ω ∙ m. If the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 V, how much power does it draw

Answer:

Power, P = 722.96 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage, V = 120 V

Length of nichrome wire, l = 8.9 m

Diameter of wire, d = 0.86 mm

Radius of wire, r = 0.43 mm = 0.00043 m

Resistivity of wire, \rho=1.3\times 10^{-6}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the power drawn by this heater. Power is given by :

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

And, R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}

P=\dfrac{V^2\times A}{\rho\times l}

P=\dfrac{120^2\times \pi (0.00043)^2}{1.3\times 10^{-6}\times 8.9}

P = 722.96 watts

So, the power drawn by this heater element is 722.96 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

The formula is x = 1/2 at^2 and I have managed to fill in the variables as this. d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 1^2
Artyom0805 [142]

Right, as you mentioned in the comments, you find d by plugging in the different values of t.

For t=1\,\mathrm s, we have

d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1\,\mathrm s)^2

d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(1\,\mathrm s^2\right)

d=4.905\,\mathrm m

Similarly, for t=2\,\mathrm s, you get

d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(2\,\mathrm s\right)

d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(4\,\mathrm s^2\right)

d=19.62\,\mathrm m

Consider a roller coaster begins 15m above the ground. If the cart has a mass of 75kg, what is the velocity of the cart halfway
SashulF [63]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg

The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.

We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 7.5} \\\\v=12.12\ m/s

So, the velocity of the cart is 12.12 m/s.

5. A cart with one fan on It blowing to the left and carrying one block produces the x vs t graph shown If this car were carryin
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Graph C

Explanation:

With the same force and more mass, the position in time will still be parabolic

i.e.  x = ½at², but the rate of acceleration will be lower so the position curve will be broader.

If opposing forces acting on an object are equal, the net force is
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

suppose, you push a box with 5 N, and another person pushes the box on the opposite side of the box with 5 N, the net force (resultant ) is 0 N, the box will not move if it wasn't moving

hope this helps
