A 100 N force causes an object to accelerate at 2 m/s2. What is the mass of the<br> object?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

50 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Force ( F ) = 100 N

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

To find : Mass ( m ) = ?

Formula : -

F = ma

m = F / a

= 100 / 2

m = 50 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 50 kg.

A certain 60.0 Hz AC power line radiates an electromagnetic wave having a maximum electric field strength of 11.6 kV/m.
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of the power line, f = 6 Hz

Value of maximum electric field strength of 11.6 kV/m

(a) The wavelength of this very low frequency electromagnetic wave is given by using relation as :

c=f\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{60\ Hz}

\lambda=5\times 10^6\ m

(b) As its can be seen that the wavelength of this wave is very high. It shows that it is a radio wave.

(c) The relation between the maximum magnetic field strength and maximum electric field strength is given by :

B_0=\dfrac{E_0}{c}\\\\B_0=\dfrac{11.6\times 10^3}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B_0=3.86\times 10^{-5}\ T

So, the maximum magnetic field strength is 3.86\times 10^{-5}\ T.

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i
sweet [91]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V =  I x R                -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R               -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance.  Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).

What steps are involved in creating hydroelectric power?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Water falls from a reservoir through a channel to a turbine. The water turns the turbines, which allows the generator to make electricity.

It is falling instead of flowing, because elavation is an important part of the hydroeletric power plant, since gravity is a thing, and there was elevation, than it would be falling and not flowing.
