The U. S. uses a household voltage of 110 V. However, electric stoves and dryers are wired with 220 V lines. Which would cause less damage --plugging a 110 V-rated curling iron into a 220 V
outlet, or a German-made 220 V-rated curling iron into a 110 V outlet? Explain. (Note: 110 and
220 V outlets are made in different shapes so that appliances cannot be accidentally
interchanged.)

In the United States and neighboring countries, however, household outlets run at 110 or 120 volts. This can pose a serious problem for travelers. Connecting a 220-volt appliance to a 110-volt outlet can damage or destroy the appliance

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
