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 .

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Answer:

It has sunlight, oxygen, water, and fertile soil.

Explanation:

Sunlight: provides plants (producers) with energy so that the ecosystem is sustainable. Also provides heat and warmth so the planet does not freeze.  

Oxygen: obvious. required for human survival and survival of most carbon-based organisms.

Water: required for plant growth and sustainability of carbon-based life.

Fertile soil: a place where plants can grow and produce energy.

I will not write an entire description because your teacher may accuse you of plagiarism and use this topic as proof.

Inga [223]
From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

Answer:

wavelenght

Explanation:

The wavelength is the spatial period of a wave, analogous to the temporal period, it is the distance between two consecutive points with maximum amplitude that are repeated in space . In the waves of the sea, the wavelength is easily observed in the separation between two consecutive ridges.

If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite d
Yuliya22 [10]

Incomplete question as the mass of baseball is missing.I have assume 0.2kg mass of baseball.So complete question is:

A baseball has mass 0.2 kg.If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat.

Answer:

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=0.2 kg

Initial speed Vi=-44.5m/s

Final speed Vf=55.5 m/s

Required

Change in momentum ΔP

Solution

First we take the batted balls velocity as the final velocity and its direction is the positive direction and we take the pitched balls velocity as the initial velocity and so its direction will be negative direction.So we have:

v_{i}=-44.5m/s\\v_{f}=55.5m/s

Now we need to find the initial momentum

So

P_{1}=m*v_{i}

Substitute the given values

P_{1}=(0.2kg)(-44.5m/s)\\P_{1}=-8.9kg.m/s

Now for final momentum

P_{2}=mv_{f}\\P_{2}=(0.2kg)(55.5m/s)\\P_{2}=11.1kg.m/s

So the change in momentum is given as:

ΔP=P₂-P₁

=[(11.1kg.m/s)-(-8.9kg.m/s)]\\=20kg.m/s

ΔP=20 kg.m/s
