A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 13 A, while that

Feliz [49]

Answer:

(a) 1560 W

(b) 576 W

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 120 V

Current in dryer, I = 13 A

current in vacuum cleaner, i' = 4.8 A

(a) Power consumed by dryer,

P = V I = 120 x 13 = 1560 W

(b) Power consumed by vacuum cleaner

P' = V I' = 120 x 4.8 = 576 W

E = P x t = 1560 x 15 x 60 = 1404000 J

Energy consumed by the vacuum cleaner

E' = P' x t' = 576 x 40 x 60 = 1382400 J

the ratio of energies is

E : E' = 1404000 : 1382400 = 1.01

A boat takes 3.0 hours to travel 50 km down a river, then 5.4 hours to return. Determine the speed of the water in the river.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3.7 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call v the proper speed of the boat and v' the speed of the water in the river.

When the boat travels in the direction of the current, the speed of the boat is:

v + v'

And it covers 50 km in 3 h, so we can write

$v+v' = \frac{50 km}{3 h}=16.7 km/h$ (1)

When the boat travels in the opposite direction, the speed of the boat is

v - v'

And it covers 50 km in 5.4 h, so

$v-v'=\frac{50 km}{5.4 h}=9.3 km/h$ (2)

So we have a system of two equations: by solving them simultaneously, we find the value of v and v':

$v+v'=16.7 \\v-v'=9.3$

Subtracting the second equation from the first one we get:

$(v+v')-(v-v')=16.7-9.3\\2v'=7.4\\v'=3.7$

So, the speed of the water is 3.7 km/h.

You have a rod with a length of 146.4 cm. You prop up one end on a brick which is 3.8 cm thick. Your uncertainty in measuring th

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$\partial \theta = 0.003$

Explanation:

we know that

$sin\theta = \frac{3.8}{146.4}$

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3.8}{146.4}$

$\theta = 1.484°$

$\theta = 1.484° *\frac{\pi}{180} = 0.0259 radians$

as we see that $sin\theta = \theta$

relative error $\frac{\partial \theta}{\theta} = \frac{\partial X}{X_1} +\frac{\partial X}{X_2}$

Where X_1 IS HEIGHT OF ROCK

$X_2$ IS THE HEIGHT OF ROAD

$\partial X$ = uncertainity in measuring distance

$\partial X = 0.05$

Putting all value to get uncertainity in angle

$\frac{\partial \theta}{0.0259} = \frac{0.05}{3.8} +\frac{0.05}{146.4}$

solving for $\partial \theta$ we get

$\partial \theta = 0.003$

Se golpea una pelota de golf de manera que su velocidad inicial forma un ángulo de 45° con la horizontal. La pelota alcanza el s

nordsb [41]

Answer:

42m/s

6.06s

Explanation:

To find the initial velocity and time in which the ball is fling over the ground you use the following formulas:

$x_{max}=\frac{v_o^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\\x_{max}=vt_{max}$

θ: angle = 45°

vo: initial velocity

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

x_max: max distance = 180 m

t_max: max time

by replacing the values of the parameters and do vo the subject of the first formula you obtain:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{gx_{max}}{sin(2\theta)}}\\\\v_o=\sqrt{\frac{(9.8m/s^2)(180m)}{sin(2(45\°))}}=42\frac{m}{s}$

with this value of vo you calculate the max time:

$t_{max}=\frac{x_{max}}{v}=\frac{x_{max}}{v_ocos(45\°)}\\\\t_{max}=\frac{180m}{(42m/s)cos(45\°)}=6.06s$

hence, the initial velocity of the ball is 42m/s and the time in which the ball is in the air is 6.06s

TRANSLATION:

Para encontrar la velocidad inicial y el tiempo en el que la pelota está volando sobre el suelo, use las siguientes fórmulas:

θ: ángulo = 45 °

vo: velocidad inicial

g: constante gravitacional = 9.8m / s ^ 2

x_max: distancia máxima = 180 m

t_max: tiempo máximo

reemplazando los valores de los parámetros y haciendo el tema de la primera fórmula que obtiene:

con este valor de vo usted calcula el tiempo máximo:

por lo tanto, la velocidad inicial de la pelota es de 42 m / sy el tiempo en que la pelota está en el aire es de 6.06 s
