P = IV,

P = Power in Watts, I = Current in Ampere, V = Voltage in Volts.

Current, I = P/ V = 500 w/ 120v ≈ 4.17 A

A placekicker kicks a football upward at an angle of 30 and a speed of 5.0 m/s at what other angle will he have to kick a second

Flura [38]

Answer: $60^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given

speed of ball $u=5 m/s$

launch angle $\theta =30^{\circ}$

Range of a Projectile $R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}$

Range will be common for two angles i.e. $\theta [tex] and [tex]90-\theta$

for $\theta R=\frac{5^2\sin 2\cdot 30}{g}$

$R=2.209 m$

For $90-\theta$

$90-30=60^{\circ}$

$R=\frac{5^2\sin 2\cdot 60}{g}$

$R=2.209 m$

An electric field of 710,000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of

Anni [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of force is $4.26\times 10^{- 6} N$

Solution:

As per the question:

The strength of Electric field due west at a certain point, $\vec{E_{w}} = 710,000 N/C$

Charge, Q = - 6 C

Now, the force acting on the charge Q in the electric field is given by:

$\vec{F} = Q\vec{E_{w}}$

$\vec{F} = -6\times 710,000 = - 4.26\times 10^{- 6} N$

Here, the negative sign indicates that the force acting is opposite in direction.

The correct answer is D) sponsoring .

Explanation:

Sponsorship is an advertising strategy that consists of an organization (sponsor) committing to provide financing to a third party (sponsored) in exchange for the presentation of its brand or product.

The sponsorship consists of an agreement or agreement between two people (legal or physical) in which, one of the parties called sponsor, will deliver a consideration (monetary or material) to another sponsored call, so that the latter exposes its brand or product publicly.

Sponsorship Objective

Sponsorship is a subtle form of advertising where the company seeks that customers associate their brand with an activity or person that represents values or qualities that attract their customers. These activities or people are usually outside the scope of the normal activity of the company, for example: a prestigious event, an admired athlete or the celebration of a relevant event, etc.

The ultimate goal of sponsorship is to attract customers and increase sales.

labwork [276]

Answer:

Accretion

Explanation:

Accretion is the process by which there is an accumulation of particles into a bigger object by attracting more mass by gravitational force into an accretion disk. This is one of the first steps in the formation of our solar system. There was a collapse of a gas cloud which resulted in most of the mass collecting in the center leading to the formation of the sun and the rest spread out forming the planets.
