The added weight of the sand puts more downward pressure on the wheels contacting the rails, which would cause the trains speed to decrease.
Answer:
If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.
Answer:
(a) 1320 W
(b) 480 W
(c) E':E ≈ 11:2
Explanation:
(a) Applying,
P' = VI'................. Equation 1
Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.
From the question,
Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A
Substitute these values into equation 1
P = (120×11)
P = 1320 W
(b) Similarly,
P = VI................... Equation 2
Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.
Also Given: I = 4 A,
Therefore
P = 4(120)
P = 480 W
(c)
E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3
E = P/t................ Equation 4
Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner
From the question,
Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds
Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4
E' = 1320/900
E' = 1.47 J,
E = 480/1800
E = 0.267
Therefore,
E':E = 1.47:0.267
E':E ≈ 11:2
