The current in a hair dryer measures 19 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?

1 answer:

6 0

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

= (19 A) x (14 ohms) = 266 volts .

Note: Be careful using that thing !

It's dissipating

I² R = (19 A)² x (14 ohms) = 5,054 watts ! ! !

That's an awful lot of power for a blow-dryer !

The dryer is certainly not using very much of that power to run the fan.
Most of it is being used to heat air. 5 kilowatts is more power than most
toasters or microwave ovens use, so please be careful with how much of
your hair or skin you expose to that hot-air blast. You could probably cook
a meatloaf with it.

Explain what happens to particles in diffusion. What causes diffusion?

vlabodo [156]

Diffusion:
 in diffusion particles move from area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration..
causes:
the movement of particles allow them ti disperse,,, when molecules are close to each other they collide with each other and push each other apart so they spread in the whole area... :)

A jet makes a landing traveling due east with a speed of 120 m/s .

vesna_86 [32]

Average acceleration over a time interval lasting $\Delta t$ is

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta v$ is the difference in the jet's final and initial velocities. It's coming to a rest, so

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{0-120\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{13.5\,\rm s}=-8.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

so the average acceleration has magnitude 8.9 m/s^2 and is pointing West (the direction opposite the jet's movement, which should make sense because the jet is slowing down).
