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.

calculate speed and velocity of the following. the race car was moving for 3.7 hours and during that time it traveled a distance
Ksju [112]

Answer:

v = 135.13 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

The race car was moving for 3.7 hours and during that time it traveled a distance of 500 miles south.

We need to find the speed of the car.

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

So,

v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.7\ h}\\\\v=135.13\ mph

So, the speed of the car is equal to 135.13 mph.

1. How much energy is needed to raise 1 g of water 1°C?
Serga [27]

Answer:

1.The calorie was originally defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius. Since 1925 this calorie has been defined in terms of the joule, the definition since 1948 being that one calorie is equal to approximately 4.2 joules.

2.Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius: 540 calories are needed to turn 1 gram (at 100 degrees Celsius) of water to steam.

Convert the following to relative uncertainties <br>a) 2.70 ± 0.05cm<br>b) 12.02 ± 0.08cm
DENIUS [597]

data which is expressed in form of following way

a = a_o + \Delta a

here in above expression

a_o = true value

\Delta a = uncertainty in the value

now the relative uncertainty is given as

\frac{\Delta a}{a_o}

now by above formula we can say

a) 2.70 ± 0.05cm

here

True value = 2.70

uncertainty = 0.05

Relative uncertainty = \frac{0.05}{2.70} = 0.0185

b) 12.02 ± 0.08cm

here

True value = 12.02

uncertainty = 0.08

Relative uncertainty = \frac{0.08}{12.02} = 0.00665
