Q: An appliance with a 20 Ω resistor has a power rating of 15.0 W. Find the maximum current which can flow safely through the appliance g

Answer:

0.866 A

Explanation:

From the question,

P = I²R............................. Equation 1

Where P = power, I = maximum current, R = Resistance.

Make I the subject of the equation

I = √(P/R).................... Equation 2

Given: P = 15 W, R = 20 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = √(15/20)

I = √(0.75)

I = 0.866 A

Hence the maximum current that can flow safely through the appliance = 0.866 A

In the picture of a planet in orbit around its star area a is double that of area b. What is true of the time the planet takes t
aalyn [17]
The Kepler's laws predict the planetary motion, so there are three laws for this, namely:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun (the sun is a star!) at one of the two focus.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

So, let's use second law. The Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time means that if A = B, the time the planet takes to travel A1A2 is equal to the time the planet takes to travel B1B2, but given that A = 2B, then takes twice the time to travel A1A2 compared to B1B2.

Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.

What is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Photopolymerization is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light

Explanation:

It the process through which a photopolymer reacts to the radiations in presence of the Ultra-violet light. Photopolymers refers to those materials and liquid or the plastic resins that are hardened in presence of light source such as the lasers or the lamps. When these materials are irradiated, they undergo chemical reactions and they are hardened and become solid, and hence the process called photopolymerization. Photopolymerization is majorly used in the coating and printing industries and in also in dentistry to fill the top of teeth and prevent the cavities
