Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

power rating of the heater P= 1010 W

voltage of the heater V= 115 volts

current taken by the heater I= ?

We can apply the power formula to solve for the current in the heater

i.e P= IV

Making I the current subject of formula we have

I= P/V

Substituting our given data into the expression for I we have

I=1010/115= 8.78 A

<h2 /><h2><em>Hence the current when the unit/heater is operating is 8.78 Amp</em></h2>

Sam runs 9 kilometers in 2.5 hours. what is his speed?

svp [43]

Considering the definition of speed, the speed of Sam is 3.6 $\frac{km}{h}$ .

<h3>Definition of speed</h3>

Speed is a quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object. That is, the speed is associated with the change of position of an object in space within a certain amount of time.

The speed can be calculated using the expression:

$speed= \frac{displacement}{time}$

<h3>Speed of Sam</h3>

In this case, you know:

displacement= 9 km
time= 2.5 h

Replacing in the definition of speed:

$speed= \frac{9 km}{2.5 h}$

Solving:

<u><em>speed= 3.6 </em></u> $\frac{km}{h}$

Finally, the speed of Sam is 3.6 $\frac{km}{h}$ .
