A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow- dryer is 11 Amps, and th

at of the vacuum cleaner is 4.0 Amps. Determine the power consumed by (a) the blow-dryer and (b) the vacuum cleaner, (c) Determine the ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 15 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in one-half hour.

Answer:

(a) 1320 W

(b) 480 W

(c) E':E ≈ 11:2

Explanation:

(a) Applying,

P' = VI'................. Equation 1

Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.

From the question,

Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (120×11)

P = 1320 W

(b) Similarly,

P = VI................... Equation 2

Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.

Also Given: I = 4 A,

Therefore

P = 4(120)

P = 480 W

(c)

E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3

E = P/t................ Equation 4

Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner

From the question,

Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4

E' = 1320/900

E' = 1.47 J,

E = 480/1800

E = 0.267

Therefore,

E':E = 1.47:0.267

E':E ≈ 11:2

Starting from Newton’s law of universal gravitation, show how to find the speed of the moon in its orbit from the earth-moon dis
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1010.92 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

F is the gravitational force between Earth and Moon

G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}} is the Gravitational Constant  

M=5.972(10)^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

m=7.349(10)^{22} kg is the mass of the Moon

r=3.9(10)^{8} m is the distance between the Earth and Moon

Asuming the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is a circular orbit, the Earth exerts a centripetal force on the moon, which is equal to F:

F=m.a_{C} (2)

Where a_{C} is the centripetal acceleration given by:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r} (3)  

Being V the orbital velocity of the moon

Making (1)=(2):

m.a_{C}=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}} (4)

Simplifying:

a_{C}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}} (5)

Making (5)=(3):

\frac{V^{2}}{r}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}} (6)  

Finding V:

V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} (7)

V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24} kg)}{3.9(10)^{8} m}} (8)

Finally:

V=1010.92 m/s
