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

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.

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.
Whitepunk [10]

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

if the forces acting upon an object are balanced, then an object must a) be moving. b) be accelerating. c) be beginning to slow
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be  at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>

Which has more inertia a shopping cart full or groceries or an empty shopping cart?
morpeh [17]
I think that  the shopping cart full of groceries has more inertia because it is the one with more tendency to do nothing or be still.
