A hair dryer draws 11 A when it is connected to 120 V. If electrical energy costs $ 0.09/kW·h, what is the cost of using the hai

r dryer for exactly 15 min?
Free brainliest, i was planning on answering this myself anyway.

Answer: $0.3

Explanation:
Operating Cost ($) = Energy Use (kWh) x Electric Rate
1. convert Amps to watts
11 x 120= 1320
2. convert watts to kilowatts
1320/1000=1.32
3. convert the time to hours
15/60=0.25
4. Multiply the time and the kilowatts
0.25 x 1.32= 0.33kWh
5. find the cost
0.9 x 0.33= $0.297

Answer:

The cost of using the hair dryer for 15 minutes is \$3.6\bar 6

Explanation:

The parameters given in the question are;

The electric current drawn by the the air dryer, I = 11 A

The voltage to which the hair dryer is connected, V = 120 V

The duration of usage of the hair dryer = 15 minutes = 60 minutes /4 = 1 hour/4 = 0.25 hour

The electrical energy costs $0.09/kW·h

The power consumed by the hair dryer = I × V = 11 × 120 = 1320 Watts = 1.32 kW

The energy used by the hair dryer in 15 minutes (0.25 hour) = 1.32 × 0.25 0.33 kW·h

The energy used by the hair dryer in 15 minutes (0.25 hour) = 0.33 kW·h

The energy cost = $0.09/(kW·h)

Therefore;

The cost of using the hair dryer for 15 minutes (0.25 hour) = 0.33 kW·h/($0.09/(kW·h)) = $33/9 = $3 2/3 = $3.6\bar 6.

A plane travels 350 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 125 km/h to the south. The plane has a 30 minute
faust18 [17]
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

1st part of journey,  350 km at velocity 125 km/h

Time = 350 / 125 = 2.8 hours.

2nd part of journey,  220 km at velocity 115 km/h

Time = 220 / 115 = 1.9 hours


Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

                               = (350 + 220) / (2.8 + 1.9)

                                =   570 / 4.7  ≈ 121.3 km/hr

Average Velocity ≈ 121 km/hr due south.

4) A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

(a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

Suppose, the distance between 40 yard line and 25 yard line is 20 yard.

(a). We need to calculate their speed during that run

Using formula of speed

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

Where. d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{18.288}{2}

v=10\ m/sduring that run

(b). We need to calculate their velocity

Using formula of speed

v=\dfrac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{22.86-36.58}{2}

v=-6.86\ m/s

Negative sign shows the direction of motion.

(c). If they kept running at that velocity for another 1.3 seconds,

We need to calculate the final position

Using formula of position

d=vt

Put the value into the formula

d=6.86\times1.3

d=8.91\ m

Hence, (a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci
Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .

Use the impulse-momentum theorem.

Ft = mv

Substitute your known values:

(120kg)(20m/s) = F(1.5)

F= 1600N

Hope this helps!
