Answer:

The voltage across each device is the same, that is 120 V

Current drawn by toaster, blender and lamp are; 9.3 A, 2.6 A and 0.42 A respectively

Explanation:

To obtain the current across each device; remember that the voltage across the toaster,blender and lamp are all the same (120V).

For voltage across the toaster;

Power of the toaster= 1120 W

Since P=IV

P= power

I= current

V= voltage

Making current the subject of the formula;

I=P/V

Therefore, current drawn by the toaster= 1120 W/120 V =9.3 A

Current drawn by blender=310W/120V = 2.6 A

Current drawn by Lamp= 50 W/120V =0.42 A

Which device uses a rotating magnetic field to produce an electric current?
Kay [80]
<span>The correct answer is C) a motor.
In particular, we are talking about an AC motor, which produces an alternating current. In an AC motor, a coil is immersed in a rotating magnetic field. Due to the motion of the magnetic field,the angle between the direction of the field and the surface enclosed by the coil changes. As a result, the magnetic flux through the coil changes over time (the magnetic flux is given by:
</span>\phi=BAcos\theta<span>
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field, A is the area enclosed by the coil and </span>\theta<span> is the angle between the direction of B and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil). For Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, this change in flux induces an electromotive force (emf) into the coil, according to:
</span>emf=- \frac{d \Phi}{dt}<span>
 where the numerator is the variation of magnetic flux and dt is the time interval. This emf in the coil produced an electrical current in the circuit.</span>

Answer:

<h2>C. <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u></h2>

Explanation:

Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.

Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)

BEFORE COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s

AFTER COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s

<u>x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball</u>

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =

0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s

Using the law of conservation of momentum;

0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125

0.25x = 0.25-0.1125

0.25x = 0.1375

x = 0.1375/0.25

x = 0.55m/s

Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u>

<u></u>

You should increase the distance between your car and the vehicle ahead when you:
ELEN [110]
<span>You should increase the distance between your car and the vehicle ahead when you are being tailgated by another driver.
Tailgated is a condition when the vehicle behind you is very close to you that there is no distance between your vehicle and the vehicle behind you. In that case you should increase distance from the vehicle ahead to avoid collision in any case. These days people were mostly in hurry and everyone want to go ahead, so tailgating is very common.</span>
