Answer:

(a) 1560 W

(b) 576 W

(c) 1.01

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 120 V

Current in dryer, I = 13 A

current in vacuum cleaner, i' = 4.8 A

(a) Power consumed by dryer,

P = V I = 120 x 13 = 1560 W

(b) Power consumed by vacuum cleaner

P' = V I' = 120 x 4.8 = 576 W

(c) Energy consumed by dryer

E = P x t = 1560 x 15 x 60 = 1404000 J

Energy consumed by the vacuum cleaner

E' = P' x t' = 576 x 40 x 60 = 1382400 J

the ratio of energies is

E : E' = 1404000 : 1382400 = 1.01

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is  T_2 = 39^o C

Explanation:

From the question we are given

    T_1 =  98 F

  T_2 =  39^oC

  T_3 =  303 \  K

Generally converting T_3 to  Fahrenheit

    T_3' =  (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' =  (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' = 86 F

Converting  T_2 to  Fahrenheit

      T_2' =  T_2 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =  39 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =102.2 F  

Now comparing  the temperature  in Fahrenheit we see that T_2  is the hottest
