Answer:

2 amps

Explanation:

Given data

Power = 460W

voltage= 230V

Required

The amperage/ current of the fuse

Recall P= IV

I= P/V

I= 460/230

I=2 amps

Hence the current of the fuse is 2 amps

Answer:

P=RI^2

P=V^2/R

P=VI

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which energy is changing in a circuit. It is shown by the formulas outlined above from the group of answer choices. Since the current (I), voltage (V), and resistance (R) were mentioned in the question, any of three three formulas could be used to obtain the power drawn by the conductor.

Henry, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. The scale reads 830 N for the first 3.8 s after the eleva

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

v= 4.0 m/s

Explanation:

When standing on the bathroom scale within the moving elevator, there are two forces acting on Henry's mass: Normal force and gravity.
Gravity is always downward, and normal force is perpendicular to the surface on which the mass is located (the bathroom scale), in upward direction.
Normal force, can adopt any value needed to match the acceleration of the mass, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
Gravity (which we call weight near the Earth's surface) can be calculated as follows:

$F_{g} = m*g = 95 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 930 N (1)$

According to Newton's 2nd Law, it must be met the following condition:

$F_{net} = F_{g} -F_{n} = m*a\\ F_{net} = 930 N - 830 N = 100 N = 95 Kg * a$

As the gravity is larger than normal force, this means that the acceleration is downward, so, we choose this direction as the positive.

Solving for a, we get:

$a =\frac{F_{net} }{m} =\frac{100 N}{95 kg} = 1.05 m/s2$

We can find the speed after the first 3.8 s (assuming a is constant), applying the definition of acceleration as the rate of change of velocity:

$v_{f} = a* t = 1.05 m/s * 3.8 m/s = 4.0 m/s$

Now, if during the next 3.8 s, normal force is 930 N (same as the weight), this means that both forces are equal each other, so net force is 0.
According to Newton's 2nd Law, if net force is 0, the object is either or at rest, or moving at a constant speed.
As the elevator was moving, the only choice is that it is moving at a constant speed, the same that it had when the scale was read for the first time, i.e., 4 m/s downward.
