Answer: 240ohms

Explanation: P=IV

P=60watts

I=0.5A

V=120volts

From ohms law

V=IR

R=V/I

R=120/0.5

R= 240ohms

Answer:

F = 7.7*10^{-10}N

Explanation:

You need to be careful with units for this problem. The force will be:

F =\frac{K*m1*m2}{d^2}

F=\frac{6.67259 * 10^{-11}*1.56*21.1*10^{-3}}{(5.34*10^{-2})^2}

F=7.7*10^{-10}N

Two things that electrical force depends upon?
lidiya [134]
Electric force depends on the charge and the strength of the electric field. The equation that relates the three:

8.92 A 45.0 kg woman stands up in a 60.0 kg canoe 5.00 m long. She walks from a point 1.00 m from one end to a point I .00 m fro
omeli [17]

The distance that the canoe moves in this process is 1.29 meters.

We first have to find the center of mass

X = \frac{MsXs+McXc}{Mw+Mc} \\\\

Where

Ms = Woman's mass = 45

Mc = Canoe's mass = 60kg

Xs = position from left= 1 cm

Xc = position from left end of canoe's mass = 2.5cm

When we put these values into the equation we have:

X=\frac{45*1+60*2.5}{45+60} \\\\= 1.857\\

The center of gravity lies at the center of this boat. Therefore,

Xc = \frac{L}{2} \\\\L = 5 m long\\\\\frac{5}{2} =2.5

5.00 - 1. 00 = 4 meters

\frac{45*4+60*2.5}{45+60} = 3.14meters\\\\

To get the distance that is moved by this canoe

distance = 3.143-1.857

= 1.286

≈ 1.29 meters

The distance that the canoe moves in this process is 1.29 meters.

An Olympic-class sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 5.10 m/s2. What is her speed 2.40 s later?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

12.24 m/s

Explanation:

Speed: This can be defined as the rate of change of distance with time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s.

Using the formula,

a = v/t................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the sprinter, v = speed of the sprinter, t = time.

making v the subject of the equation,

v = at ................. Equation 2

Given: a = 5.1 m/s², t = 2.4 s.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 5.1(2.4)

v = 12.24 m/s.

Hence, the speed of the sprinter = 12.24 m/s

iren [92.7K]
The first experiment that was made to attempt to measure the speed of light involved detonating gunpowder by Isaac Beeckman. He declared that his experiment was inconclusive. Galileo also tried to measure the speed of light using two lanterns placed across each other. The next experiment involved planets where Ole Romer based his calculation on its movements. The final calculations were derived from different theories by different scientists including Maxwell until it ended up with the exact value for the speed of light.
