Your hair dryer has a resistance of 9.6 Ω and you plug it into the bathroom outlet. Assume household voltage to be 120 V and that different parts of your house are connected in parallel. a) What current will it draw?
b) Suppose your brother has an identical hair dryer and plugs it into the same part of the circuit. What current will the two hair dryers draw?
c) If the maximum current the circuit breaker in the system can handle is 20 A, what do you think will happen?

Amachinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 96 rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. in this situation, the time interval of deceleration is closest to:

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m. part a how much work is required to bring an additional electron from infinity to the origin? express your answer with the appropriate units. part b if, instead of the second electron coming in from infinity, it is initially at x = + 20.00 m on the axis and is given an initial velocity of 100.0 m/s toward the origin, does it reach the origin? part c how close to the origin does it come?
