The elevation might be higher causing more rain

Answer:

It's because the moisture in the air condenses much quicker at a higher elevation. When the air condenses, rain clouds are formed. The side the air comes from is called the windward side, which is where there is more rainfall.

What level of wildfire risk do people living in Boulder have?

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The risk of catastrophic wildfire is a real and serious threat facing those who reside in the forested areas of Boulder County. Dating back to the Black Tiger Fire of 1989, wildfires have collectively destroyed some 250 homes or other structures, burned over 16,000 acres, and threatened the lives and properties of thousands of mountain residents. In an attempt to mitigate the loss of life and property in Boulder County, the Land Use Department has included wildfire mitigation measures in the planning review and building permit process.

An 1800-W toaster, a 1400-W electric frying pan, and a 75-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15-A, 120-V circuit. The

Mila [183]

Answer:

a) Current drawn by the toaster = 15A

Current drawn by the electric frying pan = 11.67A

Current drawn by the lamp = 0.625A

b) This combination will blow the 15A fuse as the total current requirement for this setup exceeds the 15A rating of the fuse.

Explanation:

a) For parallel connection, there exists, the same voltage and different currents across all the devices.

Voltage cross each of the 3 devices = outlet voltage of 120V

From their respective power rating, current drawn by each device will be calculated.

P = IV

For the toaster, P = 1800 W, V = 120V

I = 1800/120 = 15A

For the electric frying pan, P = 1400 W, V = 120 V

I = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

For the lamp, P = 75 W, V = 120V

I = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b) Total current in a parallel connection setup = Sum total of all the currents.

Total current drawn by all 3 devices = 15 + 11.67 + 0.625 = 27.295A = 27.3 A

This total current requirement surpasses the 15A current rating of the fuse, therefore, this combination will blow the fuse.

Hope this Helps!!!
