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.

Answer:

The electric field is 8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1} and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field (\vec{E}) is given by \vec{E} = - \nabla V, 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, V = 0.070~V~ and the thickness of the cell membrane is d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m.

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}

Fifteen grams of substance X at 95 degrees Celsius is mixed with 45 grams of substance Z at 85 degrees Celsius in a container wh
Viefleur [7K]
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.

A car travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours. What speed did it travel at?
maria [59]

Speed v = distance travelled / time taken

v = d / t

v =  540 / 60h

v =   9 km /h

A projectile is fired with a velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 25°. What is the vertical component of the velocity?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Vertical component of velocity is 9.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of projection of a projectile, v = 22 m/s

It is fired at an angle of 22°

The horizontal component of velocity is v cosθ

The vertical component of velocity is v sinθ

So, vertical component is given by :

v_y=v\ sin(25)

v_y=22\ m/s\times\ sin(25)

v_y=9.29\ m/s

Hence, the vertical component of the velocity is 9.29 m/s
