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.

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.

Given a 45 45 90 prism with index of 1.5, immersed in air. The hypotenuse acts as the reflecting face by TIR. A ray of light ent

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

83.6°

Explanation:

For the ray to be totally internally reflected, at the boundary, the angle of refraction is 90. Using the law of refraction where

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂ where n₁ = refractive index of prism = 1.5, θ₁ = critical angle in prism, n₂ = refractive index of air = 1 and θ₂ = refractive angle = 90°.

So, substituting these values into the equation,

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1 × sin90

1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1

sinθ₁ = 1/1.5

sinθ₁ = 0.6667

θ₁ = sin*(0.6667)

θ₁ = 41.8°

So, for total internal reflection, an incidence angle of 41.8° is required. So, a full convergence angle of 2 × 41.8° = 83.6° is required for the whole bundle of rays.

A 50.0 kg object rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$f=140\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the object on a horizontal surface, $m=50\ kg$

coefficient of static friction, $\mu_s=0.3$

coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.2$

horizontal force on the object, $F=140\ N$

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

$F_s=\mu_s.N$

where:

$N=$ normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body

$F_s=0.3\times (50\times 9.8)$

$F_s=147\ N$

As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:

So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.

so, the frictional force will be:

$f=140\ N$

A coin is thrown with a velocity of 0 m/s down a dry well and hits bottom in 1.2s, what’s the depth of the well?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The well is 7.1 meters deep.

Explanation:

The formula to use here is the distance in a uniformly accelerated motion:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+d_0$

where d stands for distance, t for time, a for acceleration, v0 and d0 for initial velocity and distance, respectively. Since the initial distance and velocity are both zero, we are left with the first term. The coin is in free fall and so it is accelerated by gravity:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}9.8\frac{m}{s^2}1.2^2s^2=7.1m$

The well is 7.1 meters deep.

Can tectonic plates switch places with other tectonic plates, Im generally curious

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Earth's crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.
