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.

Answer:

Correct option is

16dB

Sound level at A is ⊥o⊥B

If the intensity of sound at A 4 cm away from the source is I

What is the leading hypothesis for the origin of short gamma-ray bursts?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of rays. A gamma ray burst can emit a large amount of energy in a very short interval of time. In fact, a short gamma-ray burst occurs in less than 2 seconds.  A leading hypothesis states that when two neutron stars merge or when a neutron star merges with a black hole, short gamma-ray burst originates. Such merger are expected to produce kilonovoe.
