You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united

states. the blower puts out 1600 w at 120 v .
Physics

P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.

What net force would be necessary to cause a block of wood with a mass of 2.5 kg to accelerate at a rate of 3.0 m/s2
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>7.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 2.5 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

force = 2.5 × 3.0 = 7.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which of these BEST explains how Earth's surface features are formed by moving tectonic plates? *
alexdok [17]

Answer: The spinning of Earth's outer core causes the lithosphere to break into individual plates and collide with each other.

Earth's surface forms because of this reason:

The spinning of Earth's outer core causes the lithosphere to break into individual plates and collide with each other.

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let N_p\ and\ N_s are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power P_s=100\ W

For a transformer, \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}

V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p

V_s=3V_p...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}.............(2)

Let N_p'\ and\ N_s' are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}

New voltage is :

V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'

V_s'=24V_p...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is P_s'

P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}

P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}

P_s'=6400\ Watts

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Compared to energy-flow in ecosystems, the flow of matter ________.
disa [49]
Compared to energy-flow in ecosystems, the flow of matter <span>reflects conservation and recycling.
For example, let's take a look at the food chain system. Every time an organism is consumed by another organism, the energy that is given to the eater is only about 10% of the total existing energy

calculate the amount of heat (in btu) needed to raise the temp of 2.5lb of glass from 45°f to 350°f. the specific heat capacity
Firlakuza [10]
So you would use the equation Q=cmΔT, where c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and ΔT is change in temperature. Q, or heat added, would equal (0.187)(2.5)(350-45), which simplifies to 142.5875 btu.
