10 ohms

Explanation

the resistance of an electric circuit is given by:

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{V}{I} \\ where\text{ R is the resitance} \\ Vi\text{s the voltage} \\ I\text{ is the current} \end{gathered}$

Step 1

a) let

$\begin{gathered} R=R \\ V=120\text{ volts} \\ I=12\text{ Amperes} \end{gathered}$

b) now, replace in the expression

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{V}{I} \\ R=\frac{120\text{ volt}}{12\text{ Amp}} \\ R=10\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is

10 ohms

A speed boat increases its speed uniformly from vi = 20.0 m/s to vf = 30.0 m/s in a distance of 2.00 x 10^2m. (a) Draw a coordin

pychu [463]

a) See graph in attachment

b) The suvat equation to use is $v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

c) The acceleration is $a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

d) The acceleration is $1.25 m/s^2$

e) The time needed is 8 s

Explanation:

For this part, find in attachment the diagram representing this situation.

Since we are not given any particular direction for the motion, we choose the x-direction as the direction of motion of the boat.

Then we have the following:

- The initial position of the boat is $x_i = 0$ , the origin

- The final position of the boat is $x_f = 200 m$

- The initial velocity of the boat is $v_i = 20.0 m/s$

- The final velocity of the boat is $v_f = 30.0 m/s$

Note that the arrow representing the final velocity is longer than that of the initial velocity, since the final velocity is larger.

The motion of the speed boat is a uniformly accelerated motion (motion at constant acceleration), therefore we can use one of the suvat equations. In this particular problem, we know the following quantities:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$ , the initial velocity

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$ , the final velocity

$s = x_f - x_i = 200 m$ , the displacement of the boat

Therefore, the equation that best can be use to find the acceleration is

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

where

$a$ is the acceleration

Now we have to solve the equation

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

In order to find the acceleration.

This can be done by dividing both terms by $2s$ : this way, we find

$\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}=\frac{2as}{2s}$

And so the acceleration is

$a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

Now we can use the equation found in part c) in order to find the acceleration.

We have the following data:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$ , the initial velocity

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$ , the final velocity

$s = x_f - x_i = 200 m$ , the displacement of the boat

And substituting into the equation,

$a=\frac{30^2-20^2}{2(200)}=1.25 m/s^2$

In order to find the time it takes the boat to travel the given distance, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v_f = v_i + at$

where:

$v_i$ is the initial velocity

$v_f$ is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Here we have:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$

$a=1.25 m/s^2$

Solving for t, we find:

$t=\frac{v_f-v_i}{a}=\frac{30-20}{1.25}=8 s$

Is it possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas? Explain

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas.A process in which temperature of the gas remains constant is called Isothermal Process.For an ideal internal energy is a function of temperature therefore internal energy remains constant while all the heat added is converted to do the work done by the system.

vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.
