Answer:

The power drawn by the toaster is closest to:

(A) 370 W

Explanation:

First we calculate the resistance of the nichrome wire (R).

R=\frac{pL}{A} =\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } \\

Where radious (r), resistance coefficient (p), and Length (L)

r=\frac{0.48}{2} 10^{-3} m\\\\L=5.4 m\\p=1.3*10^{-3}\varOmega  \\\\\\Replacing:\\\\R=\frac{1.3(10)^{-6} *5.4}{\pi* 0.24^{2} (10)^{-6}} =38.7940

After replace the value in the ohm law power formula to obtain the power consumed:

P=\frac{V^2}{R} =\frac{120^2}{38.7940} =371.191 Watts

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

A chemical change.

Usually those are irreversible. Or they may be reversible, but the form they take may leave your object not the same as they started out.

A physical change might be just as deadly. If the object melted like a chocolate Easter Bunny then the object would be irreversible as well. Take a better example.

Suppose you are talking about a Gold Coin. If you heated it so it melted, the gold would retain its value, but the fact that it is a coin and valuable as such, means that it has lost that part of its value.

I really don't know. My instincts tell me that the chemical change is more dangerous, but I can't rule out the other choice..

An athlete on a sled is moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s across a pond covered with ice. If the total mass of the sled-athlete sys
enot [183]

Given Information:

Mass = m = 95 kg

Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 m/s

Final velocity = v₂ = 3 m/s

time = t = 15 seconds

Required Information:

magnitude of average force = ?

Answer:

magnitude of average force = 19 N

Explanation:

From the Newton's second law of motion

F = ma

From the kinematics equations,

v₂ = v₁ + at

at = v₂ - v₁

a = (v₂ - v₁)/t

a = (3 - 0)/15

a = 0.2 m/s²

F = 95*0.2

F = 19 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force required to bring the sled to rest is 19 N.

Photovoltaic solar cells are:
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

c) wafers of crystalline silicon treated with metals that absorb solar radiation and generate electricity

Explanation:

Photovoltaic solar cells are used in solar panels. Most of the photovoltaic cells are made from crystalline silicon.

It has a property using which it converts the light (solar radiation) falling on it to electrical energy. This process occurs due to the photovoltaic effect.

It is a way generating energy without consuming fossil fuels. Thus it reduces the carbon emission and thus plays a major role in environment protection.

Current is constant at all points in a parallel circuit.<br><br> True<br> False
Sergio [31]
This is false. Current is the speed of the charge, 1 amp of current is 1 coulomb per second. So you can imagine the current of a circuit as the current of a river. In a parallel circuit, the river breaks into two separate streams. Some of the water goes down one river, some goes down the other. However, the total amount of water/coulombs never changes. This means that some of the total current will go down one river, and one the other. However, with less coulombs now the current will decrease. 

Long story short, since there are two paths, the charge will split and depending on the resistance of each parallel stream a different amount of charge will go down each branch.
