An 1,840 W toaster, a 1,380 W electric frying pan, and a 70 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15 A, 120 V circuit. (T

he three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.) (a) What current (in A) is drawn by each device?

Pavlova-9 [17]4 years ago

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Power of toaster=P_1=1840 W

Power of electric frying pan=P_2=1380 W

Power of lamp=P_3=70 W

Current in circuit=15 A

Potential difference= V=120 V

We know that

Current=\frac{P}{V}

Using the formula

Current drawn by toaster=I_1=\frac{1840}{120}=15.3 A

Current drawn by electric frying pan=I_2=\frac{1380}{120}=11.5 A

Current drawn by lamp=I_3=\frac{70}{120}=0.58 A

What is the acceleration of a car moving
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: Accelaration is 2.77 m/s*s

<h2 />

Explanation:

V0=0km/h=0m/s

V1=100 km/h=27.7 m/s

t=10s=

Use equation for accelaration : a=(V1-V0)/t

a=(0m/s-27.7m/s)/10s

a=-27.7s/10s

a=2.77m/s*s

Wich subatomic particle will you add or remove to change the charge of the atom A) Electrons or neutrons B)Neautrons or protons
Oxana [17]
B. Neutrons or Protons Adding or removing protons from the nucleus changes the charge of the nucleus and changes that atom's atomic number. For example, adding a proton to the nucleus of an atom of hydrogen creates an atom of helium. (Actually, a few neutrons have to be added as well to make the new nucleus stable, but the end result is still helium.)

What are the rules for setting up an integral of rotation?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Setting up an integral of rotation is used as a method of of calculating the volume of a 3D object formed by a rotated area of a 2D space. Finding the volume is similar to finding the area, but there is one additional component of rotating the area around a line of symmetry.

<span>First the solid of revolution should be defined. The general  function is y=f(x), on an interval [a,b].</span>

Then the curve is rotated about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. That is the integral of the function.

<span>It all depends of the function f(x), which must be known in order to calculate  the integral.</span>

Elements with low specific heat values have which characteristic?
Serhud [2]

Elements with low specific heat values tends to absorb heat energy lesser which means it will heat up faster. Having low specific heat values means it can have rapid changes in temperature. Metals generally have a low specific heat capacity, that's why their temperature can change so quickly.
