Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for power :

P = VI

The formula for potential difference :

V = IR

Calculating P by inputting the formula of V :

P = (IR)(I)
P = I²R

Solving using the given values :

18 = I² x 6
I² = 3
I = √3
<u>I = 1.73A</u>

We need voltage first

P=V²/R
V²=PR
V²=18(6)
V²=108
V=√108
V=10.4V

Apply oHMS law

V/I=R
I=V/R
I=10.4/6
I=1.73A

If a body accelerates from a state of relative rest in a gravity field, where does the energy come from to transfer as kinetic e

Delvig [45]

The energy that transforms into kinetic energy is the Potential Energy. It happens that objects can store energy as a result of its position. Image for example a slingshot. When you stretch the slingshot, it stores energy, this energy would be the energy you used to stretch the slingshot, the material aborbs it and then release to throw the projectile.

Now, on earth and everywhere in the universe where you are close to an object with mass, it exists a force called gravity that attracts you towards that object. Every object that has mass exercises gravitational attration towards the other objects. It just happens that Earth is has so much mass that its gravitational pull is way stronger that the gravitational pull of another object on its surface. This means things will tend to be as close as earth as possible, and in order to move something away from earth, you will have to perform a force in the opposite direction to Earth and, therefore, consume energy. This energy will be store as potential energy, and when you drop the object, the potential energy will be the energy that will transform to kinetic energy.

Which of the following is an expression of Newton's second law? O A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and

dangina [55]

Answer: is A

The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and the net force acting on it.

Newton's second law says that "F=ma". what this means is that the force you apply to an object is equal to its mass times how fast it is accelerating.

Hope it helped.

Clara rushes 30m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s what is her average velocity?

navik [9.2K]

Taking into account the definition of velocity, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

<h3>Definition of velocity</h3>

Velocity is a physical magnitude that relates the displacement of an object, the time it takes to make this change in position and direction. So it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, the velocity can be defined as the amount of space traveled per unit of time with which a body moves, considering the direction, and can be calculated using the expression:

velocity= distance traveled÷ time

<h3>Average velocity of Clara</h3>

Clara rushes 30 m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s. Then, you know:

distance traveled= 30m rushing + 30m walking back= 60 m
time= 120 s

Replacing in the definition of velocity:

velocity= 60 m÷ 120 s

Solving:

<u><em>velocity= 0.5 m/s</em></u>

Finally, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by _______ objects that travel in straight paths. *

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by luminous objects that travel in straight paths.

Explanation:

We can define "radiation" as the transmision of energy trough waves or particles.

Particularly, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, so the "tiny particles" of light are discharged by a radiating object, particularly we can be more explicit and call it a luminous object, in this way we are being specific about the nature of the radiation of the object.
