P = IV,

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

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

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

Which equations could be used as is, or rearranged to calculate for frequency of a wave? Check all that apply.
amm1812
-- Equations  #2  and  #6  are both the same equation,
and are both correct.

-- If you divide each side by  'wavelength', you get Equation #4,
which is also correct.

-- If you divide each side by  'frequency', you get Equation #3,
which is also correct. 
With some work, you can rearrange this one and use it to calculate
frequency.

Summary:

-- Equations #2, #3, #4, and #6 are all correct statements,
and can be used to find frequency.

-- Equations #1 and #5 are incorrect statements.

The minute hand of a wall clock measures 16 cm from its tip to the axis about which it rotates. The magnitude and angle of the d
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Minute hand length =16 cm

Time at a quarter after the hour to half past i.e. 1 hr 45 min

Angle covered by minute hand in 1 hr is 360 and in 45 minutes 270

|r|=\frac{3\times 2\pi r}{4}=75.408 cm

Angle =270^{\circ}

(c)For the next half hour

Effectively it has covered 2 revolution and a quarter

|r|=\frac{2\pi r}{4}=25.136 cm

angle turned =90^{\circ}

(f)Hour after that

After an hour it again comes back to its original position thus displacement is same =25.136

Angle turned will also be same i.e. 90 ^{\circ}

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The multiplication factor is 72.136 cm. This will give you the unit conversion when multiplied with 28.4 inch

Explanation:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

28.4 inches = x cm

Xcm= (28.4 inches × 2.54cm)/1 inch

X= 72.136

The resultant of 2 forces at right angles is 100 lbs. If one of the forces makes an angle of 30 degress with the resultant, comp
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

86.6 lbs

Explanation:

Let the force is X.

Resultant force, R = 100 lbs

Other force is Y. Angle between resultant force and force X is 30°.

According to the diagram

Cos30=\frac{X}{R}

0.866=\frac{X}{100}

X = 86.6 lbs

Other force Y

Sin30=\frac{X}{R}

0.5=\frac{Y}{100}

Y = 50 lbs
