A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai

r dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

Answer:

900 W.      

Explanation:

Given that

Electric heater 1500 W

We know that power P given as

P= V I

So the total power of 120 V and 20 A circuit

P = 120 x 20

P= 2400 W

So the power new load P'

P'= Total system power(P)- Electric heater load

P ' = 2400 - 1500

P'= 900 W

So the answer is 900 W.

un avión aterriza en la superficie de un portaaviones a 50 m/s y se detiene por completo en 120 metros, ¿cuál es la aceleración
sergejj [24]

Answer:

La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².

Explanation:

Un movimiento uniformemente acelerado (M.U.A) es aquél cuya aceleración es constante y la velocidad de un objeto cambia a medida que el movimiento evoluciona.

Siendo la aceleración "a" el cambio de velocidad al tiempo transcurrido en un punto A a B, la velocidad inicial la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al iniciar su movimiento en un período de tiempo y la velocidad final la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al finalizar su movimiento en un período de tiempo, entonces en  M.U.A se cumple:

Vf² - Vo² = 2*a*d

donde:

  • Vf: Velocidad final
  • Vo: Velocidad inicial
  • a: Aceleración
  • d: Distancia recorrida

En este  caso:

  • Vf: 0 m/s, porque el avión se detiene
  • Vo: 50 m/s
  • a: ?
  • d: 120 m

Reemplazando:

(0 m/s)² - (50 m/s)² = 2*a*120 m

Resolviendo:

a=\frac{(0 m/s)^{2} -(50 m/s)^{2} }{2*120 m}

a= - 10.42 m/s²

<u><em>La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².</em></u>

a 90 kg architect is standing 2 meters from the center of a scaffold help up by a rope on both sides. the scaffold is 6m long an
Mademuasel [1]
We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0
where
W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N is the weight of the person
W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
T_1 = 2845 N-T_2 (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using W_p = 883 N and replacing T1 with (1), we find
2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0
from which we find
T_2 = 1128 N

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
T_1 = 1717 N

If a cart of 10 kg mass has a force of 5 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration? m/s2
Elza [17]

Answer:

= 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportion to the rate of change of linear momentum.

Therefore;<em> F = ma , where F is the Force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</em>

<em>Thus; a = F/m</em>

<em>but; F = 5 N, and m = 10 kg</em>

<em>  a = 5 /10</em>

    <u>= 0.5 m/s²</u>

grin007 [14]

Answer:

f_e = 1.51 cm

Explanation:

given.

magnification(m) = 400 x

focal length (f_0)= 0.6 cm

distance between eyepiece and lens (L)= 16 cm

Near point (N) = 25 cm

focal length of the eyepiece (f_e)= ?

using equation

m = -\dfrac{L-f_e}{f_o}.\dfrac{N}{f_e}

400 = \dfrac{16-f_e}{0.6}.\dfrac{25}{f_e}

9.6 = \dfrac{16-f_e}{f_e}

9.6f_e = 16-f_e

10.6 f_e = 16

f_e = 1.51 cm
