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.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Economic growth can be illustrated by:

d.  an outward shift of the production possibilities curve.

Explanation:

Economic growth is the process of increasing the economy's ability to produce goods and services. It is achieved by increasing the quantity or quality of resources.

Production Possibilities refers to the ability of a country to produce goods or services given the limited resources and technology.  It is therefore possible to increase production of both goods at the same time as long as resources allow it.

The Production Possibilities Curve, also known as the production possibilities frontier, is a graph that shows the maximum number of possible units a company can produce if it only produces two products using all of its resources efficiently. Firstly, and most commonly, growth is defined as an increase in the output that an economy produces over a period of time, the minimum being two consecutive quarters. An increase in an economy's productive potential can be shown by an outward shift in the economy's production possibility frontier (PPF).

Each point on the curve shows how much of each good will be produced when resources shift from making more of one good and less of the other. The curve measures the trade-off between producing one good versus another.PPC or production possibility curve is a curve whose basic purpose is to show the different possible combinations of two goods that can be produced within the given available resource.

The two main characteristics of PPC are: slopes downwards to the right: PPC slopes downwards from left to right. It is because in a situation of fuller utilization of the given resources, production of both the goods cannot be increased simultaneously.

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.80g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode al
irina [24]

Answer:

a = 15.1 g

Explanation:

The relation between mass and acceleration is given by :

m\propto \dfrac{1}{a}

If a₁ = 0.80g, m₁ = 1510 kg, m₂ = 80 kg, we need to find a₂

So,

\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{a_1m_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{0.8g\times 1510}{80}\\\\a_2=15.1g

So, the car's acceleration would be 15.1 g.

False. When a chemical reaction occurs, atoms don't create or destroy. They are rearranged as bonds and are broken and formed together.
