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.
What power setting caused the breaker to trip?A) 600 WB) 900 WC) 1200 WD) 1500 W

Answer:

b) 900 W

Explanation:

The breaker trips when the current is equal to 20 A. The power (P) is the ddp (V) multiplied by the current. So, for the electric heater, the current is:

P = V*i

1500 = 120*i

i = 12.5 A

So, to become in 20 A, it's needed 7.5 A, which must come from the hairdryer. Its power must be:

P = 120*7.5

P = 900 W

Can someone help me a bit on this? Will mark brainliest. ( no physical science option soooo)
Advocard [28]

Answer:

When a light wave goes through a slit, it is diffracted, which means the slit opening acts as a new source of waves. How much a light wave diffracts<em> (how much it fans out)</em> depends on the wavelength of the incident light. The wavelength must be larger than the width of the slit for the maximum diffraction. Thus, for a given slit, red light, because it has a longer wavelength, diffracts more than the blue light.

The corresponding relation for diffraction is

d sin(\theta) \approx \lambda,

where \lambda is the wavelength of light, d is the slit width, and \theta is the diffraction angle.

From this relation we clearly see that the diffraction angle \theta is directly proportional to the wavelength  \lambda of light—longer the wavelength larger the diffraction angle.

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

First we gotta use an equation of motion:

d = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!

100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) {t}^{2}

Now we just need to solve for t:

{t}^{2} = \frac{2(100)}{9.8} \\ \\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}

Hit the calculators, and you'll get 4.5 seconds!
