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

The angle θ is slowly increased. Write an expression for the angle at which the block begins to move in terms of μs.
Reika [66]

Answer:

tan \theta = \mu_s

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0 (1)

where

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, \theta the angle of the slope

\mu_s R is the frictional force, with \mu_s being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

R-mg cos \theta = 0

where

R is the normal reaction

mg cos \theta is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

R=mg cos \theta

And substituting into (1)

mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0

Re-arranging the equation,

sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of \mu_s, the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.

The spectrum of light emitted by helium atoms is different than that emitted by hydrogen atoms because
MaRussiya [10]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The different atoms have different quantized energy levels

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The atoms of different elements have different energy levels because they have different nuclear charges and spins, and different numbers of electrons.
  • Each different kind of atom, like hydrogen or radon, has a distinct nuclear charge and number of electrons. This makes the potential energy function different for each atom, and therefore results in different energy levels.
  • In an emmission spectra, each bright band corresponds to a difference between energy levels within the atom.

AfilCa [17]
Given : A ball of mass 40 g moving at a velocity of 4 m/s.
To find : Calculate the kinetic energy in joules ?
Solution :
The kinetic energy formula is given by,

where, v is the velocity v=4 m/s
m is the mass m=40 g
Convert g into kg,



Substitute the values,



Therefore, the kinetic energy is 0.32 Joules.
