An electric heater that carries a current of 13.5 A when operating at a voltage of 120V , will have the resistance of the heater as 8.89 ohm.

<h3>What is Ohm's law?</h3>

Ohm's law can be described as the law in physics that focus on how voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity that is moving in the direction of the resistance.

An this is also directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit, hence it can be calculated using the Ohm's law is V=IR.

from V=IR

R=V/I

= 120/13.55

=8.89 ohm.

Therefore, electric heater that carries a current of 13.5 A when operating at a voltage of 120V , will have the resistance of the heater as 8.89 ohm.

What gravitational force does the moon produce

saul85 [17]

Answer:

$1.94\cdot 10^{20} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

The gravitational force is always attractive.

In this problem, we have:

$m_1 = 5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m_2 = 7.34\cdot 10^{22} kg$ is the mass of the Moon

$r=3.88\cdot 10^8 m$ is the separation between the Earth and the Moon

Therefore, the gravitational force between them is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(7.34\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.88\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.94\cdot 10^{20} N$

A uniform solid disk with a mass of 24.3 kg and a radius of 0.364 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. $-12.7 Nm$

b. $-7.9 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.

Forces applied to the solid disk include:

$F_1 = 90.0N\\F_2 = 125N$

Other parameters given include:

Mass of solid disk, $M = 24.3kg$

and radius of solid disk, $r = 0.364m$

a.) The formula for determining torque ( $T$ ), is $T = r * F$

Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

$T = T_{125} + T_{90}\\= -r(125)sin90 + r(90)sin90\\= 0.364(-125 + 90)\\= -12.7 Nm$

b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:

using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

$I_{disk} = {\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2$

where $M$ = Mass of solid disk

and $r$ = radius of solid disk

We then relate the torque and angular acceleration ( $\alpha$ ) with the formula:

$T = I\alpha \\-12.7 = ({\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2)\alpha \\\alpha = -{\frac{12.7}{1.61}} = -7.9 rad/s^2$
