A microwave oven has 1200 W. If it receives 120 V of potential difference, what is the current in the microwave?

Physics

8_murik_8 [283]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

10amps

Explanation:

Given data

Power =1200W

Voltage =120V

Required

The current I

From

P=IV

I= P/V

Substitute

I=1200/120

I= 10amps

Hence the current is 10amps

Power lifter Paul lifts a 700.0kg barbell 2.00m in 0.400s. How much power did Paul develop?
Vsevolod [243]

         Work = (force) x (distance.

The force required to lift the load is its weight.

         Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

so    Work = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance)

Now  Power = (work) / (time)

so     Power  =  (mass) x (gravity) x (distance) / (time)

                      =  (700kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2 m)  /  (0.4 sec)

                      =  ( 700 x 9.8 x 2) / (0.4)  (kg-m²/sec²) / (sec)

                      =        ( 34,300 )                  (joule)  /  (sec)

                      =                     34,300 watts .

This is one of those exercises where the math and the physics
are air-tight and bullet-proof but the answer is absurd.

34,300 watts is about 46 horsepower.  I don't care how many

Lolliguncula brevis squid use a form of jet propulsion to swim—they eject water out of jets that can point in different directio
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) t = 0.25 s,  b)  x = 0.075 m

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use kinematic relationships in one dimension

         v = v₀ + a t

in the problem they indicate the initial velocity v₀ = 0.15 m / s, the final velocity v = 0.45 m / s and the acceleration of the squid a = 1.2 m / s²

          t = \frac{v -v_o}{a}

       

we calculate

         t = \frac{0.45 - 0.15}{1.2}

         t = 0.25 s

b) We can also find the distance traveled during this acceleration

         v² = v₀² + 2a x

         x = \frac{v^2 -v_o^2 }{2a}

let's calculate

         x = \frac{0.45^2 - 0.15^2 }{2 \  1.2}

         x = 0.075 m

In a physics lab experiment, a compressed spring launches a 24 g metal ball at a 35o angle above the horizontal. Compressing the
Levart [38]

Answer:

k = 45.95 N/m

Explanation:

First, we will find the launch speed of the ball by using the formula for the horizontal range of the projectile.

R = \frac{v_{o}^{2}\ Sin\ 2\theta}{g} \\\\v_{o}^{2} = \frac{Rg}{Sin\ 2\theta}\\

where,

Vo = Launch Speed = ?

R = Horizontal Range = 5.3 m

θ = Launch Angle = 35°

Therefore,

v_{o}^{2} = \frac{(5.3\ m)(9.81\ m/s^{2})}{Sin\ 2(35^{o})}\\

v₀² = 55.33 m²/s²

Now, we know that the kinetic energy gain of ball is equal to the potential energy stored by spring:

Kinetic\ Energy\ Gained\ By\ Ball = Elastic\ Potential\ Energy\ Stored\ in \ Spring\\\frac{1}{2}mv_{o}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}\\\\k = \frac{mv_{o}^{2}}{x^2} \\

where,

k = spring constant = ?

x = compression = 17 cm = 0.17 m

m = mass of ball = 24 g = 0.024 kg

Therefore,

k = \frac{(0.024\ kg)(55.33\ m^2/s^2)}{(0.17\ m)^2} \\

<u>k = 45.95 N/m</u>
