Answer: The correct answer is 240 W.

Explanation:

The expression for the power in terms of resistance and potential is as follows;

P=\frac{V^{2} }{R}

Here, V is the potential, P is the power and R is the resistance.

It is given in the problem that the toaster has a resistance of 60 ohms and is plugged into a 120-V outlet

Calculate the power dissipation.

P=\frac{V^{2} }{R}

Put V= 120 V and R= 60 ohms.

P=\frac{120^{2} }{60}

Therefore, the value of the power dissipation is 240 W.

The power dissipated is simply V^2/R

where V = 120 volts RMS
and R = 60 Ω

The helicopter was deformed and destroyed in the _______ collision.
ASHA 777 [7]

There are two types of collision in physics which are named as elastic collision and inelastic collision.

Elastic collision is that type of collision in which both kinetic energy and momentum is conserved i.e total kinetic energy and momentum before collision is equal to the total kinetic energy and momentum after collision.As kinetic energy is conserved here,so less or ideally no damage occurs to the colliding bodies.

Inelastic collision is that type of collision in which only momentum is conserved but not kinetic energy .After the collision the kinetic energy is lost in forms heat,sound ,light etc.

Normally any deformation and destruction is due to the inelastic collision which results in the loss of kinetic energy.

Hence the helicopters were destroyed and deformed due to inelastic collision.

What is the most fundamental property of a star in determining its evolution? luminosity temperature composition mass size?
Vitek1552 [10]
The most fundamental property of a star that determines its evolution is the MASS of the star.

In fact, while low-mass stars usually end their life becoming red giants and then white or black dwarfs, the high-mass stars can evolve into red supergiants and eventually originate a supernova. After the explosion of the supernova, depending on their mass, they can becomes neutron stars or collapse into black holes.

Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in a vacuum and slows to 2.0 × 108 m/s in glass. What is the index of refraction of glass?
Slav-nsk [51]
We are asked to solve for the index of refraction and the formula is n = c/v where "n" represents the index of refraction, "c" represents the speed of light in the vacuum while "v" represents the speed of another medium.
In the problem, we have the given values below:
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 2 x 10^8 m/s
n =?

Solving for n, we have the solution below:
n = 3x10^8 /  2x10^8
n = 1.5

The answer is 1.5 for the index of refraction.

(b) Find the position, velocity, and acceleration of the mass at time t = 5π/6.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Solution 
x(t) = 8 cos t, x(5π/6)= 8 cos(<span>5π/6)
</span>cos(5π/6)=cos(3π/6 + 2π/6 )=cos(π/3 +π/2)= - sin π/3  (cos (x+<span>π/2)= -sinx)
</span>x(t) = -8sin <span>π/3 = - 4 .sqrt3
</span>v(t) = -8sint = -8sin (π/3 +<span>π/2)= -8 cosπ/3 </span>(sin (x+π/2)= cosx)
v(t) =<span> -8 cosπ/3 = -8/2= - 4 
</span>a(5π/6) = - 8cost = -(- sin π/3)= 4 .<span>sqrt3
