You have two electrical devices plugged into the same socket in parallel and draws 120 V. The first device has a resistance of 2

0 Ω the other device has a resistance of 10 Ω.
What is the total resistance?

The devices don't "draw" 120v. The 120v comes to your house from the power company. They decide it should be 120v and that's what they send you. It's hypothetically technically possible for you to change that, but if you try it, you'll definitely burn the house down.

The total resistance of those two devices in parallel is 6 and 2/3 ohms. That doesn't depend on what they're plugged into. It would still be 6 and 2/3 ohms if they were connected in parallel, wrapped in tissue, sealed in a jar of chicken soup and stored in a box on a high shelf.

But since they ARE plugged into 120v, they draw 18 Amperes from the socket, and they turn all of that electrical energy into 2160 watts of heat. That's about the same as a good size toaster oven, and you have to figure out a way to get rid of all that heat before you burn the house down.

The process that enhances some properties of an object at the expense of other properties is called:
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The answer is: letter a, pop-out effect.

Explanation:

The "pop-out effect" is a phenomenon which allows the person's precognitive processes to detect a<em> visual stimulus that is potentially the most meaningful one</em> in a person's spatial field of attention. The pop-up effect occurs when a person distinguishes one object from the rest.

For example, when a child chooses among pictures in different colors, it is common for the child to point at colored pictures rather than grayscale pictures. This is an example of a pop-out effect. <u>The properties of the colored pictures is more preferred by the child thus, causing him not to choose or mind the grayscale images.</u>

Thus, this explains the answer.

The equations of kinematics describe the motion of an
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The equations of kinematics is applied for the motion with constant acceleration (including zero), but the condition is that the acceleration should be in the direction of the motion (positive or negative).

In circular motion, the acceleration is radial (centripetal), which means that the acceleration is always perpendicular to the motion of the object, therefore the equations of kinematics cannot be applied.
