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.

A car is traveling on a level road at a constant rate of speed. What additional force is necessary to bring the car into equilib
iragen [17]

Answer: Zero.

Explanation:

By the first Newton's law, we know that:

every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

Now, we know that the car is moving with constant speed, then there is no net force acting on the car, which means that the car is already in equilibrium.

Then if we add one force to the situation, the car will not be anymore in equilibrium.

The correct option is zero.
