In doing a load of clothes, a clothes dryer uses 15 A of current at 240 V for 55 min. A personal computer, in contrast, uses 2.7

A of current at 120 V. With the energy used by the clothes dryer, how long (in hours) could you use this computer to "surf" the internet?

Answer:

Available usage time for the computer = 10.185 hrs

Explanation:

for the dryer;

I = 15 A,    V=240 V  ,  t= 55min,

convert time from min to sec. t = 55*60 =3300 sec

Energy = IVt

Energy = 15*240*3300

Energy = 11,880,000 J

            =11,800 KJ

using the energy for the clothes dryer to calculate for the time spent on the computer,

Energy = IVt

for the computer;

I = 2.7A    V=120V , t=?

t=\frac{energy}{IV}

t=\frac{11,800,000}{2.7*120}

t=36,666.7sec

convert this value to hour by dividing by 3600

t=\frac{36,666.7}{3600} \\t=10.185hrs

Is (2, 2) a solution of y &lt; 4x-6<br> Help
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

B) No.

Explanation:

Okay,so,

this is equation is y=mx +b

mx represents the slope

and b represents the y-intercept

in order to figure this out you need to plot the y-intercept first

that makes its (0,-6) because the 6 is negative in the equation

4x is also equal to 4/1 since we dont know what x is

we have to do rise over run for this

you go up 4 spots on the y intercept from -6 because 4 is positive

then you go to the right 1 time because 1 is positive.

this leaves you at (1,-2)

so, (2,2) is NOT a solution

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

By using v=( f )x( lambda )

v= 45 s^-1 x 3 m

Therefore v = 135 ms^-1

A commuter train travels from New York to Washington, DC, and back in 6 hours and 5 minutes. The distance between the two statio
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The train's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given data,

The time taken by the train from NY to Washington and back is, t = 6 h 5 min

The distance between the two stations is, d = 363 km

Therefore, the total distance the train traveled is, d' = 726 km

The displacement is defined as the change in position coordinates with respect to its original position.

If the train travels from one point and returns back to the same point after some time, there is no change in the position coordinates with respect to its original position.

Hence, the train's displacement is zero.

A particle has a charge of q = +4.9 μC and is located at the origin. As the drawing shows, an electric field of Ex = +242 N/C ex
irina1246 [14]

a)

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3}N (+x axis)

F_{B_x}=0

F_{B_y}=0

b)

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N (+x axis)

F_{B_x}=0

F_{B_y}=3.21\cdot 10^{-3}N (+z axis)

c)

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N (+x axis)

F_{B_x}=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N (+y axis)

F_{B_y}=3.21\cdot 10^{-3}N (-x axis)

Explanation:

a)

The electric force exerted on a charged particle is given by

F=qE

where

q is the charge

E is the electric field

For a positive charge, the direction of the force is the same as the electric field.

In this problem:

q=+4.9\mu C=+4.9\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge

E_x=+242 N/C is the electric field, along the x-direction

So the electric force (along the x-direction) is:

F_{E_x}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(242)=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N

towards positive x-direction.

The magnetic force instead is given by

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the charge

B is the magnetic field

\theta is the angle between the directions of v and B

Here the charge is stationary: this means v=0, therefore the magnetic force due to each component of the magnetic field is zero.

b)

In this case, the particle is moving along the +x axis.

The magnitude of the electric force does not depend on the speed: therefore, the electric force on the particle here is the same as in part a,

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N (towards positive x-direction)

Concerning the magnetic force, we have to analyze the two different fields:

- B_x: this field is parallel to the velocity of the particle, which is moving along the +x axis. Therefore, \theta=0^{\circ}, so the force due to this field is zero.

- B_y: this field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, which is moving along the +x axis. Therefore, \theta=90^{\circ}. Therefore, \theta=90^{\circ}, so the force due to this field is:

F_{B_y}=qvB_y

where:

q=+4.9\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge

v=345 m/s is the velocity

B_y = +1.9 T is the magnetic field

Substituting,

F_{B_y}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(345)(1.9)=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N

And the direction of this force can be found using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: direction of the velocity (+x axis)

- Middle finger: direction of the magnetic field (+y axis)

- Thumb: direction of the force (+z axis)

c)

As in part b), the electric force has not change, since it does not depend on the veocity of the particle:

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3}N (+x axis)

For the field B_x, the velocity (+z axis) is now perpendicular to the magnetic field (+x axis), so the force is

F_{B_x}=qvB_x

And by substituting,

F_{B_x}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(345)(1.9)=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N

And by using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: velocity (+z axis)

- Middle finger: magnetic field (+x axis)

- Thumb: force (+y axis)

For the field B_y, the velocity (+z axis) is also perpendicular to the magnetic field (+y axis), so the force is

F_{B_y}=qvB_y

And by substituting,

F_{B_y}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(345)(1.9)=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N

And by using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: velocity (+z axis)

- Middle finger: magnetic field (+y axis)

- Thumb: force (-y axis)

Why is there so much variation in human skin coloration? a. This occurred because humans underwent natural selection, which resu
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

<u>e. All of these.</u>

Explanation:

  • The skin in humans ranges from darkest to the lightest color, as a result of genetic makeup, exposure to the sun rays, skin pigmentation may be either due to the evolutionary process of natural selection, and it may be due to the biochemical effects of the UV rays.
  • As the pigment in the skin of humans is affected by the content of melanin in the body that causes the determination of skins cells of the darker colored humans, and the light skin is determined by the bluish-white tissues under the dermis and the hemoglobin.
  • The emergence of skin pigments dates back to 1.2 billion years ago. When the harsh climatic conditions drove the early humans into arid and open landscapes. In general, the people living near to equator have darkly pigmented than those living in poles are lightly pigmented.
