An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec

Tresset [83]

Answer : Total electrical energy is 36000 J.

Explanation :

It is given that,

Power of electric toaster, P = 1200 Watts

Voltage, V = 120 Volts

Time, t = 30 s

Electric energy is defined as the product of the power and the time taken.

$E=Pt$

$E=1200\ W\times 30\ s$

$E=36000\ J$

Total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 seconds is 36000 J.

A group of hikers hear an echo 3.3 s after they shout. The temperature is 20◦C.

romanna [79]

Answer:

560 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air is approximately:

v ≈ v₀ + 0.6T

where v₀ is the speed of sound at 0°C (273 K) in m/s, and T is the temperature in Celsius.

The speed of sound at 20°C at that altitude is:

v ≈ 327 + 0.6(20)

v ≈ 339 m/s

The sound travels from the hikers to the mountain and back again, so it travels twice the distance.

339 m/s = 2d / 3.3 s

2d = 1118.7 m

d = 559.35 m

Rounding, the mountain is approximately 560 m away.

Another science question...

In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are always equal.

However, if there are more number of protons than electrons, we say the atom is now positively charged, (since protons are positively charged and the charges on electron cant cancel them out)

If there are more number of electrons than protons, the atom would be negatively charged.

If however there are different number of neutrons in an atom,but same proton number- we call them as isotopes. example 1H2 and 1H3 they have same protons but different neurtrons! hence they are isotopes of hydrogen

Hope this helpss

An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 11.1 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

frozen [14]

To solve this problem we will use the relationship given between the centripetal Force and the Force caused by the weight, with respect to the horizontal and vertical components of the total tension given.

The tension in the vertical plane will be equivalent to the centripetal force therefore

$Tsin\theta= \frac{mv^2}{r}$
