A circuit has a current of 3.6 A and a resistance of 5.0 Ω.

1 answer:

3 0

If a circuit has a current of 3.6 Amps and resistance of 5 Ohms, then Ohm's law can be used to find the voltage. Ohm's law states that the voltage is equal to the product of current and resistance (V=IR). In this case the voltage is equal to 3.6 Amps x 5 Ohms = 18.0 Volts. The law can also be used with the rearranged equation to obtain current or resistance.

A 60 kilogram student jumps down from a laboratory counter. At the instant he lands on the floor hus speed is 3 meters per secon

erastovalidia [21]

As per Newton's law rate of change in momentum is net force

so we can write it as

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

$F = \frac{m(v_f - v_i)}{\Delta t}$

now we know that

$m = 60 kg$

$v_f = 3 m/s$

$v_i = 0$

$\Delta t= 0.2 s$

from above equation

$F = \frac{60(3 - 0)}{0.2} = 900 N$

so he will experience 900 N force in above case

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?

AfilCa [17]

Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

a solid metal sphere of radius 3.00m carries a total charge of -5.50. what is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero.

(b) Electric field at 2.90 m is zero.

(c) Electric field at 3.10 m is - 5.15 x 10³ V/m.

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is - 0.77 x 10³ V/m.

Explanation:

Let Q and R are the charge and radius of the solid metal sphere. The solid metal sphere behave as conductor, so total charge Q is on the surface of the sphere.

Electric field inside and outside the metal sphere is :

E = 0 for r ≤ R ( inside )

= $\frac{KQ}{r^{2} }$ for r > R ( outside )

Here K is electric constant and r is the distance from the center of the metal sphere.

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero as r < R i.e. 0.250 m < 3 m from the above equation.

(b) Electric field at 2.90 m is zero as r < R i.e. 2.90 m < 3 m from the above equation.

E = $\frac{KQ}{r^{2} }$

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 3.10 m for r in the above equation.

E = - $\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5.50\times10^{-6} }{3.10^{2} }$

E = - 5.15 x 10³ V/m

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is given by the relation as r > R :

E = $\frac{KQ}{r^{2} }$

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 8.00 m for r in the above equation.

E = - $\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5.50\times10^{-6} }{8^{2} }$

E = - 0.77 x 10³ V/m

If you wish to warm 100 kg of water by 20°C for your bath, how much heat is required? (Give your answer in calories and joules.)

taurus [48]

Q = mcθ

Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C

Q = 100*4200* 20 Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J

In calories, 4.2 J = 1 Calorie
= 8 400 000 / 4.2 = 200 000

Q = 200 000 Calories

All waves change speed when they enter a new medium, but they don't always bend. When does bending occur?

Anastaziya [24]

Bending occurs when one side of the wave enters the new medium before the other side of the wave. ... The bending occurs because the two sides of the wave are traveling at different speeds.
