The current in a hair dryer measures 19 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?

1 answer:

6 0

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

= (19 A) x (14 ohms) = 266 volts .

Note: Be careful using that thing !

It's dissipating

I² R = (19 A)² x (14 ohms) = 5,054 watts ! ! !

That's an awful lot of power for a blow-dryer !

The dryer is certainly not using very much of that power to run the fan.
Most of it is being used to heat air. 5 kilowatts is more power than most
toasters or microwave ovens use, so please be careful with how much of
your hair or skin you expose to that hot-air blast. You could probably cook
a meatloaf with it.

20% Part (a) Use an "E Field Sensor" and move it along either equipotential. What can you say about the E field along an equipot

Alex

Answer:

b. Constant magnitude, but varying direction, perpendicular to the equipotential.

Explanation:

As we know that the relation between electric field and electric potential is given as

$\Delta E = -\frac{dV}{dr}$

here if we say that potential is constant because electric field sensor is moving along equi-potential line.

Then we will say

V = constant

so we have

$\Delta E = 0$

so electric field will remain constant always in magnitude and always remains perpendicular to the surface

so we have

b. Constant magnitude, but varying direction, perpendicular to the equipotential.

In a shipping company distribution center, an open cart of mass 50.0 kg is rolling to the left at a speed of 5.00 m/s. Ignore fr

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

a) $v_p=9.35m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Open cart of mass $M_o=50.0 kg$

Speed of cart $V=5.00m/s$

Mass of package $M_p=15.0kg$

Speed of package at end of chute $V_c=3.00m/s$

Angle of inclination $\angle =37$

Distance of chute from bottom of cart $d_x=4.00m$

Generally the equation for work energy theory is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv_p^2$

Therefore

$\frac{1}{2}u^2+gh=\frac{1}{2}v_p^2$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}u^2+gh)}$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}v_c^2+gd_x)}$

$v_p=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}(3)^2+(9.8)(4))}$

$v_p=9.35m/s$

A main difference between asteroids and comets is that asteroids are mostly made of rock and comets are mostly made of metals ca

avanturin [10]

We can confirm that the difference between a comet and an asteroid lies in their compositions and physical characteristics derived from those compositions.

As stated in the question, the main difference between an asteroid and a comet is their compositions, meaning the materials from which they form.

Asteroids are rocky objects which a heavy metal composition, while comets tend to be made of dust, ice, and some rocky material. Some extra differences include:

Comets reflect a steady amount of light (because of their ice composition)
Asteroids will reflect light at random intervals due to some metals that may be present on their surface
Comets tend to have a tail made of water from the melting ice when reflecting sunlight.

Therefore, we can confirm that the main difference between asteroids and comets is their compositions, which lead to distinct physical characteristics.
