While on her concert tour in the US, my Austrian friend Andrea brought along a small electric fabric-steamer. The steamer draws a current of 4.2 A on a 220 V line in Austria. If she plugged it
into an electrical line in the US, where the household voltage is 110 V, how much current would
the steamer draw? How well do you think it will perform?

Asheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200oc and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6 x 10- 11 m2 /s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2 x 10-7 kg/m2 -s. also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3 . how far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3 ? assume a linear concentration profile.

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy k in a uniform electric field. the electron comes to rest momentarily after traveling a distance d. (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when an atomic bomb explodes? small pieces of fissionable material are joined and form a body with a mass greater than the critical mass, the relative number of neutrons escaping decreases, and a chain reaction and explosion result. large pieces of fissionable matter are brought together quickly and form a body with a mass smaller than the critical mass, the relative number of escaping neutrons increases, and a chain reaction and explosion result.
