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 .

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.

3. A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The extension of the second wire is $e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the wire is $L = 3 \ m$

The elongation of the wire is $e = 1.2mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 m$

The tension is $F = 200 \ N$

The length of the second wire is $L_2 = 6 \ m$

Generally the Young's modulus(Y) of this material is

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain }$

Where $stress = \frac{F}{A}$

Where A is the area which is evaluated as

$A = \pi r^2$

and $strain = \frac{extention}{length} = \frac{e}{L}$

So

$Y = \frac{\frac{F}{\pi r^2 } }{ \frac{e}{L} }$

Since the wire are of the same material Young's modulus(Y) is constant

So we have

$\frac{F * L }{r^2 e} = \pi * Y = constant$

$F * L = constant * r^2 e$

Now the ration between the first and the second wire is

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} * \frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{r*2_1}{r^2} * \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

Since tension , radius are constant

We have

$\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

substituting values

$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{0.0012}{e_2}$

$0.5 e_2 = 0.0012$

$e_2 = \frac{ 0.0012 }{0.5}$

$e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

A jet ski accelerates towards a ramp at 2.5 m/s/s for 35 s until it finally flies off the water. Determine the

zlopas [31]

Answer:

1531 m

Explanation:

The motion of the jet ski is an uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the distance travelled by using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the jet ski in this problem,

$a=2.5 m/s^2$

t = 35 s

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$d=0+\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(35)^2=1531 m$

A 2.26 kg book is dropped from a height 1.5m what is its acceleration

Arada [10]

The answer is 9.8 ms^-2, because there is only one force acting on the object so the acceleration will be numerically equal to the gravitational field strength.
