Resistance = (voltage) / (current) =

(120 V) / (0.5 A) = <em>240 ohms</em>

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Given that

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days)

When earth spins on its axis

We know that earth take 1 day to complete one revolution around its own axis.

T= 1 day = 24 hr = 24 x 3600 s

T=86400 s

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/86400

ω=7.27 x 10⁻5 rad/s

When earth revolve around earth

T =365 1/4 days = 365.25 days

T= 365.24 x 86400 s

T=31557600

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/31557600

ω=1.99 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s

A box falls out of a stationary helicopter hovering 135 m above the ground. How long will it take to hit the ground?

Marrrta [24]

We have the equation of motion $s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$ , where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here displacement = 135 m, Initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.81 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$135 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2 =135\\ \\ t =5.25 seconds$

A box falls out of a stationary helicopter hovering 135 m above the ground will take 5.25 seconds to reach the ground.

Two metal plates 15mm apart have a potential difference of 750v between them. The force on a small charged sphere placed between

Romashka [77]

Answer:

50,000 V/m

Explanation:

The electric field between two charged metal plates is uniform.

The relationship between potential difference and electric field strength for a uniform field is given by the equation

$\Delta V=Ed$

where

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

E is the magnitude of the electric field

d is the distance between the plates

In this problem, we have:

$\Delta V=750 V$ is the potential difference between the plates

d = 15 mm = 0.015 m is the distance between the plates

Therefore, rearranging the equation we find the strength of the electric field:

$E=\frac{\Delta V}{d}=\frac{750}{0.015}=50,000 V/m$
