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.

Suppose that a person gets hit by a bus moving at 30 mi/h with a 58,000 lbs of force in the direction of motion. If the mass of
alexandr402 [8]

The impulse of a force is due to the change in the motion of an object

A. The persons speed after impact is approximately 59.38 mi/h

B. The expected speed is <u>29.89 mi/h</u> which is less than the findings

Reason:

Known parameters are;

The speed of the bus, v = 30 mi/h

The force with which the person was hit, F = 58,000 lbs

Mass of the bus, M = 40,000 lbs

Mass of the person, m = 150 lbs

Duration of the impact, Δt = 0.007 seconds

A. The speed of the person at the end of the impact, <em>v</em>, is given as follows;

The impulse of the force = F × Δt = m × Δv

For the person, we get;

58,000 lbf ≈ 1866094.816 lb·ft./s²

58,000 lbf × 0.007 s = 150 lbs × Δv

1,866,094.816 lb·ft./s²

\Delta v = \dfrac{1,866,094.816\ lbs \times 0.007 \, s}{150 \, lbs} \approx  87.084  \ ft./s

Δv = v₂ - v₁

The initial speed of the person at the instant, can be as v₁ = 0

The final speed, v₂ = Δv - v₁

∴ v₂ ≈  87.084 ft./s - 0 = 87.084 ft./s

≈ <u>87.084 ft./s</u>

<u />v_2 \approx \dfrac{87.084 \ ft./s}{y} \times\dfrac{1 \ mi}{5280 \ ft.} \times \dfrac{3,600 \ s}{1 \, hour} \approx 59.38 \ mi/h<u />

The speed of the person at the end of the impact, v₂ ≈ <u>59.38 mi/h</u>

B. Where the momentum is conserved, we have;

m₁·v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)·v

v = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot v_1 + m_2 \cdot v_2}{m_2 + m_1}

v = \dfrac{40,000 \times 30  + 150 \times 0}{40,000 + 150} \approx 29.89

The expected speed of the person at the end of the impact is 29.89 mi/h, and therefore, <u>the findings does not agree with the expectation</u>

Y=mx+b if y=8.18 m=1.31 b=17.2 then find x
Dafna1 [17]

Plug in the corresponding values into y = mx + b

8.18 in for y

1.31 in for m

17.2 in for b

8.18 = 1.31x + 17.2

Now bring 17.2 to the left side by subtracting 17.2 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 17.2 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

8.18 - 17.2 = 1.31x

-9.02 = 1.31x

Then divide 1.31 to both sides to isolate x. Since 1.31 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 1.31 out (in this case it will make 1.31 one) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

-9.02/1.31 = 1.31x/1.31

x ≈ -6.8855

x is roughly -6.89

How does the currently accepted model of the nucleus provide evidence of the existence of the strong nuclear force?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Protons and neutrons are all attracted to each other as a result - the strong nuclear force. This is an attractive force that only has an effect over a very short range in the nucleus.

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!
