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.

A distant planet with a mass of (7.2000x10^26) has a moon with a mass of (5.0000x10^23). The distance between the planet and the
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2} I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

F_g=\frac{2.4012*10^{40}}{3.721*10^{23}} and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:

Fg= 6.45 × 10¹⁶ N

What is the amount of heat, in Sl units, necessary to melt 1 lb of ice?
likoan [24]

Answer:

Heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is 151.469 KJ

Explanation:

We have given mass of ice = 1 lb

We know that 1 lb = 0.4535 kg

Latent heat of fusion for ice =334 KJ/kg

Amount if heat for fusion of ice is given by

Q=mL, here m is mass of ice and L is latent heat of fusion

So heat Q=mL=0.4535\times 334=151.469kj

So heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is equal to 151.469 KJ

The chief by 3 3/4 kg of Apple's 7 1/4 kilograms of peers and 10 1/8 kilograms with orange about how many kilograms of fruit did
WARRIOR [948]
SOLUTION:

Total amount of fruit = Total amount of apples + Total amount of pears + Total amount of oranges

Total amount of fruit = 15 / 4 + 29 / 4 + 81 / 8

Total amount of fruit = 30 / 8 + 58 / 8 + 81 / 8

Total amount of fruit = 169 / 8

Total amount of fruit = 21.125 kg

ANSWER:

Therefore, the chief bought 21.125 kg of fruit all together.

A 47.4 kg student runs down the sidewalk and jumps with a horizontal speed of 42 m/s onto a stationary skateboard
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

3 kg

Explanation:

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

After jumping on the skateboard, the student and the skateboard have the same velocity, so v₁ = v₂.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(47.4 kg) (4.2 m/s) + m (0 m/s) = (47.4 kg + m) (3.95 m/s)

m = 3 kg
