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.

A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity
Westkost [7]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.

i.e.

acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²

Distance covered = S = 6m

Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = v_{f} = 4 m/s

We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.

Initial velocity = v_{i} =  ?

3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:

2aS = (v_{f})^{2}-(v_{i})^{2}

Using the known values in the formula, we get:

2(-0.1)(6)=(4)^{2}- (v_{i})^{2}\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=16+1.2\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=17.2\\\\ v_{i}=4.15

Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s

Light of wavelength 476.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.29 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance is D  =  2.6 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of the light is  \lambda  =  476.1 \ nm  =  476.1 *10^{-9} \ m

      The  distance between the slit is  d =  0.29 \  mm  =  0.29 *10^{-3} \ m

       The  between the first and second dark fringes is  y =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \ m

Generally  fringe width is mathematically represented as

       y  =  \frac{\lambda * D }{d}

Where D is the distance of the slit to the screen

   Hence

        D  =  \frac{y *  d}{\lambda }

substituting values

       D  =  \frac{ 4.2 *10^{-3} *   0.29 *10^{-3}}{ 476.1 *10^{-9} }

        D  =  2.6 \ m

A 5.00 kilogram block slides along a horizontal,frictionless surface at 10.0 meters per second. for 4.00 seconds. The magnitude
finlep [7]
In this question a lot of information's are provided. Among the information's provided one information and that is the time of 4 seconds is not required for calculating the answer. Only the other information's are required.
Mass of the block that is sliding = 5.00 kg
Distance for which the block slides = 10 meters/second
Then we already know that
Momentum = Mass * Distance travelled
                   = (5 * 10) Kg m/s
                   = 50 kg m/s
So the magnitude of the blocks momentum is 50 kg m/s. The correct option among all the given options is option "b".
