An example of a household appliance with a low and high power rating​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are countless household appliances in every single house. One appliance with a low power rating would be a ceiling fan. On average ceiling fans consume roughly 60w and are found in the majority of houses. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a high power-rating appliance such as a microwave. Microwaves use anywhere between 1000w to 1800w of power in order to function correctly. This is very large power consumption and one of the highest power ratings found for appliances in a household.

Guyz... Its my first question in this app... Pls do answer​
Basile [38]

Answer:

1.414

Explanation:

Snell's law states:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).

The index of refraction of air is approximately 1.  So:

1 sin 45° = n sin 30°

n = sin 45° / sin 30°

n = 1.414

Round as needed.

When performing an.experiment similar to Millikan's oil drop, a student measured the following load magnitudes: 3.26x10 ^-19 C 5
Scilla [17]

Answer:

1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

Let us arrange the charges in the ascending order and round them off as follows :-

1.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ C   → 1.6x 10⁻¹⁹ C

3.26 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

4.66 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

5.09 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

6.39 x 10⁻¹⁹C   → 6.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The rounding off has been made to facilitate easy calculation to come to a conclusion and to accommodate error in measurement.

Here we observe that

2 nd charge is almost twice the first charge

3 rd and 4 th charges are almost 3 times the first charge

5 th charge is almost 4 times the first charge.

This result implies that 2 nd to 5 th charges are made by combination of the first charge ie if we take e as first  charge , 2nd to 5 th charges can be  written as 2e,  3e ,3e and 4e. Hence e is the minimum charge existing in nature and on electron this minimum charge of  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C  exists.

The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

r = Radius of Saturn = 9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²
