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

A bullet of mass 6.20 10-3 kg, moving at 1320 m/s impacts a tree stump and penetrates 11.00 cm into the wood before coming to re
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

  F = -49.1   10³ N

Explanation:

Let's use the kinematics to find the acceleration the acceleration of the bullet that they tell us is constant

   v_{f}² = v₀² + 2 a x

Since the bullet is at rest, the final speed is zero

    x = 11.00 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.110 m

    0 = v₀² + 2 a x

   a = -v₀² / 2 x

   a = -1320²/(2 0.110)

   a = -7.92 10⁶ m / s²

With Newton's second law we find the force

   F = m a

   F = 6.20 10⁻³ (-7.92 10⁶)

   F = -49.1   10³ N

The sign means that it is the force that the tree exerts to stop the   bullet

A bowling ball has an initial momentum of +30 kg m/s and hits a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the bowling ball le
dangina [55]

Momentum should be conserved. The momentum of both objects must balance with their initial and final momentum.

Let m1 and v1 be the mass and velocity of the bowling ball

And m2 and v2 be the mass and velocity of the bowling pin

(m1v1)i + (m2v2)i = (m1v1)f + (m2v2)f

30 kg m/s + (1.5 kg)(0 m/s) = 13kg m/s + 1.5v2f

V2f = 11.33 m/s

<span>So the momentum = 1.5 kg(11.33 m/s) = 17 kg m/s</span>

A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes theroute. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a directi
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A

Explanation:

Let's place the origin of a coordinate system at city A.

The final position of the airplane is given by:

rf = ra + rb + rc    where ra, rb and rc are the vectors of the relative displacements the airplane has made. If we separate this equation into its x and y coordinates:

rfX = raX+ rbX + rcX = 175*cos(30)-150*sin(20)-190 = -89.75km

rfY = raY + rbY + rcT = 175*sin(30)+150*cos(20) = 228.45km

The module of this position is:

rf = \sqrt{rfX^2+rfY^2} = 245.45km

And the angle measure from the y-axis is:

\alpha =atan(rfX/rfY) = 21.45\°

So the answer is 245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A
