The wattage marked on a lightbulb is not an inherent property of the bulb but depends on the voltage to which it is connected, u

sually 110 V or 120 V. How many amperes flow through a 60-W bulb connected in a 120-V circuit

Answer:

The current that flows through the lamp is 0.5 A.

Explanation:

A lamp functions like a resistor and the real power absorbed by a resistor is given by the product of the voltage drop across it's terminals and the current that flows through it. If we wish to find the current that this lamp draws we should divide the wattage given (60 W) by the voltage drop provided (120 V). We then have:

i = P/V = 60/120 = 0.5 A.

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities
Natali5045456 [20]
Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The starting velocity for ball 1 is 1.00 meter/second. Its ending velocity is 0.25 meter/second.

The change in velocity for ball 1 is 0.25 – 1.00 = -0.75 meter/seconds

A student of mass 40kg takes 10s to run up a flight of 50steps. If each step is 15cm high, calculate the Potential Energy of the
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

2943 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height in meters

(P.E. = mgh)

Substitute the given numbers: (I take acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m s^-2)

PE = 40 x 9.81 x (0.15x50)

PE = 2943 J
