1200 watts / 120 volts =10 amps begins to flow as soon as you plug it in.

Answer: The current of value 10 ampere runs through the vacuum.

Explanation;

Power of the water heater = 1,200 watts

Voltage applied to the water heater = 120 V

Duration of the use of water heater = 1.5 seconds

$Current=\frac{Power}{Voltage}=\frac{1,200 W}{120 V}=10 ampere$

The current of value 10 ampere runs through the vacuum.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

$a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}$

$t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s$

Check

$t_{2}=8s$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}$

$x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16$

your initial speed is zero. if you increased your speed by 4 m/s after only 2 seconds and continue to accelerate at the same rat

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

20 m/ s

Explanation:

change in velocity = 4m/ s

$acceleration = \frac{rate \: of \: change \: of \: velocity}{time}$

$acc = \frac{4}{2} \\ = 2$

initial velocity = 0m/ s

let velocity after 10s be v

$2 = \frac{v - 0}{10}$

cross multiplying

$20 = v$

so the velocity after 10s will be 20m/s
