Answer: R=24.2Ω

Explanation: <u>Power</u> is rate of work being done in an electric circuit. It relates to voltage, current and resistance through the following formulas:

P=V.i

P=R.i²

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

The resistance of the system is:

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

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

R=\frac{110^{2}}{500}

R = 24.2Ω

<u>For the device, resistance is 24.2Ω.</u>

A train travels 90 kilometers in 1 hour, and then 82 kilometers in 5 hours. What is it’s average speed?
PIT_PIT [208]
Distance is 90km,time 1 hr
distance 2 is 82km,time 5 hrs
average speed=total distance travelled/total time taken.
90+82=172/5+1=6
average speed=28.7km over hour

Calculate the current through the ammeter (look at photo)
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6 amps

Explanation:by Kirchhoff's loop rule the current at any point in the loop must be equal or charge would be building up. The current at the ammeter is equally to the total current through the sun of the paths in parallel which it is in series with

What is the direction of the current flowing through the wire------left or right?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The direction in which a positive charge would move.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Two horses on opposite sides of a narrow stream are pulling a barge up the stream. Each hors pulls with a force of 720N. The rop
anygoal [31]
For the answer to the question above, each horse's force forms a right angle triangle with the barge and subtends an angle of 60/2 = 30°. The resultant in the direction of the barge's motion is:
Fx = Fcos(∅)
We can multiply this by 2 to find the resultant of both horses.
Fx = 2Fcos(∅)
Fx = 2 x 720cos(30)
Fx = 1247 N
