Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5 A)

<em>Resistance = 240 ohms</em>

<em></em>

Know what ?  There might be too much information given in this question.  I want to check, because it's possible that it might not even all fit together.

To calculate my answer, I only used the voltage and the current.  I didn't use the "60 watts", and I'm curious to know whether it even fits with the given voltage and current.

Power = (voltage) times (current).

Power = (120 V) times (0.5 A)

Power = 60 watts  

Well gadzooks and sure enough !  The three numbers given in the question all go together nicely.  

And not only THAT !

The answer could have been calculated by using ANY TWO of them.

what is the value of the constant for a second order reaction if the reactant concentration drops from .657 M to ,0981 M in 17 s
yaroslaw [1]

Answer : The value of the constant for a second order reaction is, 0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}

Explanation :

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time = 17s

[A_t] = final concentration = 0.0981 M

[A_o] = initial concentration = 0.657 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

k\times 17s=\frac{1}{0.0981M}-\frac{1}{0.657M}

k=0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}

Therefore, the value of the constant for a second order reaction is, 0.51M^{-1}s^{-1}

A simple pendulum consists of a mass m (the "bob") hanging on the end of a thin string of length l and negligible mass. The bob
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The pendulum frequency  is (c) the same, or very close to it

Explanation:

The simple pendulum corresponds to a simple harmonic movement, to reach this approximation in the expression of the force the sine of the angle (θ) approaches an angle value, this is only true for small angles, generally less than 15º

Sine (15th) = 0.2588

The angle in radians is 15º π / 180º = 0.26180.2588 / 0.2618

The difference between these two values ​​is less than 1.2%

for smaller angle the difference is reduced more

Therefore, the period for both the 5º and 10º angles is almost the same
