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.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given frequency in the string fixed at both ends is 80 Hz

Distance between adjacent antipodes is 20 cm

We know that distance between two adjacent anti nodes is equal to half of the wavelength

So $\frac{\lambda }{2}=20cm$

$\lambda =40cm$

We have to find the speed of the wave in the string

Speed is equal to $v=\lambda f=0.04\times 80=3.2m/sec$

So speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

Consider an eraser, weighing 20g, sitting 5cm from the center of a turntable (flat disk attached to a motor which can spin the d

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A. 42.3 revolution per minute

B. Centripetal Force

Explanation:

20 g = 0.02 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

Let g = 9.8 m/s2

A.The friction force acting on the eraser is the product of normal force and its coefficient:

$F_f = N\mu = mg\mu = 0.02*9.8*0.1 = 0.0196 N$

For the eraser to begin slipping, its centripetal acceleration must win over the acceleration created by friction force, which is

$a_f = F_f / m = 0.0196 / 0.02 = 0.98 m/s^2 = a_c$

We can calculate the angular velocity from this:

$a_c = \omega^2 r$

where r = 0.05 is the radius of rotation, which is distance from the center to the eraser

$\omega^2 = a_c/r = 0.98 / 0.05 = 19.6$

$\omega = \sqrt{19.6} = 4.43 rad/s$

If it spins and angle of 4.43 rad per second then for every minute (60 seconds) it would spin an angle of 4.43 * 60 = 265.6 rad/min

Since 1 revolution is 2π rad, then in a minute it would spin 265.6 / 2π = 42.3 revolution/minute

B. The force responsible for making the eraser go faster while the turntable is spinning up would be the centripetal force.
