The power consumed by the electric clothes dryer may be calculated by the following equation,

    P = I x V

where P is the power, I is the current in amperes, and V is the voltage in volts. Substituting the known values from the given above,

  P = (15 A)(240 V)
  P = 3600 watts

Therefore, the power consumed by the electric clothes dryer is equal to 3600 watts.

What happens to the wavelength as the frequency of a whale noise changes from 200hz to 300hz
rewona [7]

Answer:

When there is an increase in the frequency of sound waves, the wavelength decreases.

Explanation:

Given data,

The frequency of the whale changes from 200 Hz to 300 Hz

The formula for frequency and wavelength is,

                             λ = v/f

Where v is the velocity of the sound waves in water (1531 m/s)

The wavelength at 200 Hz is,

                             λ = 1531/200

                                = 7.655 m

The wavelength at 300 Hz is,

                             λ = 1531/300

                                = 5.1 m

Hence, when there is an increase in the frequency of sound waves, the wavelength decreases.

What is one key difference between the
Arada [10]

Radiation do not require material medium to travel while convection requires material medium for travelling.

The main difference between radiation and another method for heat transfer is that radiation don't require medium for its transfer.

So, the key difference between radiation and convection is radiation do not require medium for its transaction.

A force is a push or a pull. Under the right circumstances, anything can exert a force.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

the force that you applied caused the notebook to move.

the force applied on the notebook by the table causes it to stop moving.

this is because after sometime the book uses up the force and later the force you applied is less than that of the force by the table.

As the frequency of the ac voltage across a capacitor approaches zero, the capacitive reactance of that capacitor:___________.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

B) approaches infinity

Explanation:

The capacitive reactance of an AC capacitor is given by;

X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C } = \frac{1}{2\pi f C}

Where;

C is the capacitance

f is the frequency of the ac voltage

X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{2\pi f C} \\\\X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi f C} \\\\X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi (0) C} \\\\X_C = \frac{1}{0} \\\\X_C = \ infinity

Therefore, as the frequency of the ac voltage across a capacitor approaches zero, the capacitive reactance of that capacitor approaches infinity.

The correct option is (B) approaches infinity
