Answer:

Cycles per second is dependent on the construction of the alternator and the 120 volts is dependent upon the current and resistance in the circuit according to the ohms law.

Explanation:

We are given with AC of 120 volts, 20 amperes and 60 hertz frequency.

<u>According to the Ohm's law, we find its resistance:</u>

R=\frac{V}{I}

R=\frac{120}{20}

R=6\ \Omega

So, this 6 ohm resistance controls the current controls the magnitude of the AC current, while the frequency of the current remains constant and depends upon the construction and rotational speed of the armature of the alternator producing the current.

Here the value of frequency is the number of times the current changes its direction or the polarity in one second.

A playground slide is inclined 40°. If a boy with a mass of 32 kg slides down for -3meters. How much work is done by gravity on
telo118 [61]

Answer:

the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

Explanation:

Given;

distance the boy slides, d = 3 m

angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰

mass of the boy, m = 32 kg

The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.

The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

sin \theta = \frac{opposite }{hypotenuse} \\\\sin \theta = \frac{h}{d} \\\\h = dsin\theta\\\\h = 3 \times sin(40^0)\\\\h = 1.928 \ m

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;

W = P.E = mgh

             = 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m

             = 604.62 J

Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

Christian made some pancakes she's so 3/5 of them in the morning and 1/4 of the remainder in the afternoon is she had 300 pancak
DiKsa [7]

Christian made 1000 pancakes.

Explanation:

Let us represent the total amount of Pancake made by Christian as = K

    From the problem;

 Christian ate \frac{3}{5} of the pancake in the morning =  \frac{3}{5}  * K =  \frac{3}{5} K

We know that Christian cannot eat her pancake and at the same time have it, the  remaining pancake will then be:

        total amount of cake - fraction eaten

Remainder = K -  \frac{3}{5} K=  \frac{2}{5} K

   

In the afternoon, we know that she ate 1/4 of the remaining cake:

        \frac{1}{5} K*  \frac{2}{5} K = \frac{1}{10} K

 The remaining cake in the afternoon will be:

    Total amount of cake remaining from morning - amount eaten in the afternoon

    =    \frac{2}{5} K -  \frac{1}{10} K

    =    \frac{3}{10} K

The fraction of the cake remaining in the afternoon is  \frac{3}{10} K

Since she had 300cakes left in the afternoon, then :

            \frac{3}{10} K= 300

                    K = 1000 pancakes

Therefore Christian made 1000 pancakes.

Which of the following is a contact force?
Nutka1998 [239]
The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact". 

Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.

The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.
