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 .

A 0.37-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 23.2 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

a) v = 31.67 cm / s , b)   v = -29.36 cm / s , c) v= 29.36 cm/s, d) x = 3.46 cm

Explanation:

The angular velocity in a simple harmonic movement is

       w = √ K / m

       w = √ 23.2 / 0.37

       w = 7,918 rad / s

a) the expression against the movement is

        x = A cos (wt + Ф)

Speed ​​is

        v = dx / dt = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

 The maximum speed occurs for cos = ± 1

        v = A w

        v = 4.0 7,918

        v = 31.67 cm / s

b) as the object is released from rest

        0 = -A w sin (0+ Фi)

        sin Ф = 0

         Ф = 0

The equation is

        x = 4.0 cos (7,918 t)

        v = -4.0 7,918 sin (7,918 t)

        v = - 31.67 sin (7.918t)

     

Let's look for the time for a displacement of x = 1.5 cm, remember that the angles must be in radians

          7,918 t = cos⁻¹ 1.5 / 4.0

          t = 1,186 / 7,918

          t = 0.1498 s

We look for speed

         v = -31.67 sin (7,918 0.1498)

         v = -29.36 cm / s

c) if the object passes the equilibrium equilibrium position again at this point the velocity has the same module, but the opposite sign

         v = 29.36 cm / s

d) let's look for the time for the condition v = v_max / 2

         31.67 / 2 = 31.67 sin ( 7,918 t)

          7.918t = sin⁻¹ 0.5

         t = 0.5236 / 7.918

         t = 0.06613

With this time let's look for displacement

         x = 4.0 cos (7,918 0.06613)

        x = 3.46 cm

Suppose your surface body temperature averaged 90 degrees F. How much radiant energy in W/m^2 would be emitted from your body?
Debora [2.8K]

493 \; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the energy radiation <em>per unit area</em> of a black body:

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4}

where,

  • P the total power emitted,
  • A the surface area of the body,
  • \sigma the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant, and
  • T the temperature of the body in degrees Kelvins.

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \;\text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{K}^{-4}.

T = 90 \; \textdegree{}\text{F} = (\dfrac{5}{9} \cdot (90-32) + 273.15) \; \text{K} = 305.372 \; \text{K}.

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 305.372^{4} = 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

Keep as many significant figures in T as possible. The error will be large when T is raised to the power of four. Also, the real value will be much smaller than 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} since the emittance of a human body is much smaller than assumed.

When driving on roads that may be slippery: A. Always drive at the maximum speed limit. B. Use cruise control to maintain a stea
erik [133]

When driving on roads that may be slippery, do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction. Option D is correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is a slippery surface?</h3>

The slick road sign serves as a warning.  When the road is wet or ice, drivers should use extra caution and reduce their speed. When the weather is bad, avoid making any rapid changes in direction.

When driving on roads that may be slippery, do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction. It may cause accident because the vehicle can lose their balance.

Hence, option D is correct.
