A 1500 W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120 V circuit that has a 20 A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai

r dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W , 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600 W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips.
Under what setting does the circuit breaker trip.

Please, no answer without explanation or work shown.

Answer:

Explanation:

Current drawn by electric heater = power/volt =1500/120 = 12.5 A.

current drawn by hair drier at 600 watt = 600/120 =5 A

current drawn by hair drier at 900 watt = 900/120 = 7.5 A.

Total current drawn by heater and hair drier used at 900 watt

= 12.5 + 7.5 = 20 A

Breaking current =20 A

So fuse will trip at this point .

Calculate ΔH∘f (in kilojoules per mole) for benzene, C6H6, from the following data:
Dahasolnce [82]
ΔH<span> for the reaction = [sum of heat of formation for products] - [sum of heat of formation for reactants]
   
-6534 = [(12)(-393.5) + (6)(-285.8)] - (2X)

-6534 = [(-4722) + (-1714.8)] - 2X

-6534 = -6436.8 - 2X

-6534 + 6436.8 = -2X

-</span>97.2 = -2X<span>
 
then, divide each side by two to cancel out the numerical coefficient.

x = +48.6 kJ, which is the heat of formation for benzene.</span>

Lorico [155]

Answer:

  a = 0.701 m / s²

Explanation:

As the game is spinning the acceleration is centripetal

           a = v² /r

The park system after a small period of acceleration goes at a constant speed, for which we can use the relations of the uniform motion

           v = d / t

the distance of a circle is

           d = 2π r

we substitute

          a = (2π r / t) ² / r

          a = 4 pi² r / t²

           

let's calculate

          a = 4 pi² 12 / 26²

          a = 0.701 m / s²

Which of these best describes how an appropriate star chart is selected to locate objects in the sky?
Sergio [31]
The layout of the stars in the sky is determined by the date, time of night, and your location (mainly latitude). So to pick the best star chart, you should go with the one that's closest to the present date and your location, then make allowance for what time it is. Everything in the sky moves about a degree every 4 minutes.
