A hair dryer draws 1 200 W, a curling iron draws 800 W, and an electric light fixture draws 500 W. If all three of these appliances are operating in parallel on a 120-V circuit, what is the total current drawn?

Therefore,

The Total current drawn is 20.83 Ampere.

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage, V = 120 V

Power of Appliances,

P1 = 1200-W Hair dryer,

P2 = 800-W Curling iron,

P3 = 500-W Light

To Find:

Current  flowing in the line, I = ?

Solution:

We have Power formula,

Current for hair dryer,

Substituting the values we get

Similarly for curling iron,

Similarly for electric light

As all three of these appliances are operating in parallel on a 120-V circuit,  the total current will be given as

Substituting the values we get

Therefore,

The Total current drawn is 20.83 Ampere.

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
