Answer:

90 A

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI.............. Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Supply voltage, I = current.

Make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Assuming the Voltage of the main electric supply is 120 V

Given: P = 10.8 kW = 10800 W, V = 120 V (household voltage)

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 10800/120

I = 90 A

Sunlight appears white. However, rainbows, sunburn and the ability to see colors tell a different story.Explain what each of the
alexdok [17]
A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm  to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.

b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.

c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see  grass as green in color.

d) Light of wavelength below  400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.

If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. v₁ = 16.2 m/s

b. μ = 0.251

Explanation:

Given:

θ = 15 ° , r = 100 m , v₂ = 15.0 km / h

a.

To determine v₁ to take a 100 m radius curve banked at 15 °

tan θ  = v₁² / r * g

v₁ = √ r * g * tan θ

v₁ = √ 100 m * 9.8 m/s² * tan 15° = 16.2 m/s

b.

To determine μ friction needed for a frightened

v₂ = 15.0 km / h * 1000 m / 1 km * 1h / 60 minute * 1 minute / 60 seg

v₂ = 4.2 m/s

fk = μ * m * g

a₁ = v₁² / r = 16.2 ² / 100 m = 2.63 m/s²

a₂ = v₂² / r = 4.2 ² / 100 m = 0.18 m/s²

F₁ = m * a₁  ,  F₂ = m * a₂

fk = F₁ - F₂   ⇒  μ * m * g = m * ( a₁ - a₂)

μ * g = a₁ - a₂   ⇒  μ = a₁ - a₂ / g

μ = [ 2.63 m/s² - 0.18 m/s² ] / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.251

Which of the following statements about the force on a charged particle due to a magnetic field are not valid?
Vinil7 [7]
The correct answer is "None of the above; all of these statements are valid." All the statements namely, it depends on the particle's charge, it depends on the strength of the external magnetic field, it depends on the particle's velocity, and it acts at right angles to the direction of the particle's motion are all valid. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
