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.

Consider that a clay model of a tiger has a mass of 0.195 kg and glides on ice at a speed of 0.75 m/s. It hits another clay mode
juin [17]

Answer:

The final velocity after the collision is 0.27 m/s.    

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tiger, m = 0.195 kg

Initial speed of tiger model, v = 0.75 m/s

Mass of another clay model, m' = 0.335 kg

Initially, second model is at rest, v' = 0

We need to find the final velocity after the collision. It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

mv+m'v'=(m+m')V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv+m'v'}{(m+m')}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.195\times 0.75}{(0.195 +0.335 )}\\\\V=0.27\ m/s

So, the final velocity after the collision is 0.27 m/s.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

If the force exerted by the intern is doubled and the distance is halved, the work done by the intern remains the same. Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

Lien uses a spring scale to pull a block toward the right across the lab table. The scale reads 8 N. Which force should Lien con
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

<h2>Frictional force</h2>

Explanation:

For the block placed on the table, there are several force acting on the body along the horizontal and vertical axis. All this forces tends to keep the body in a state of equilibrium.The forces acting along the horizontal are the moving force (Fm) and the frictional force (Ff).

Frictional force are forces that acts opposite to the force that causes the body to move (moving force).

If Lien uses a spring scale to pull a block toward the right across the lab table and the scale reads 8 N, this means that the force that causes the body to move is the 8N force (moving force).

Taking the sum of force along the horizontal;

\sum fx = ma_x

Since the body is static, max = 0

\sum fx = 0\\fm+(-Ff)= 0

Note that the frictional force acts is the force of opposition acting in the negative x direction.

fm = 0+Ff\\fm = Ff

Since Fm = 8N, Ff will also be equal to 8N.

Based on the above proof, Lien can also conclude that 8 N is a frictional force
