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.

H. A truck starts to move from rest. If it gains the acceleration of 3 m/s2 in 5 sec,
SashulF [63]

Answer:

1. The final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. The distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

Explanation:

1. Determination of the final velocity

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the truck can be obtained as follow:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (3 × 5)

v = 0 + 15

v = 15 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. Determination of the distance travelled

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Distance (s) =?

The distance travelled by the truck can be obtained as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

s = (0 × 5) + (½ × 3 × 5²)

s = 0 + (½ × 3 × 25)

s = 0 + 37.5

s = 37.5 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

A 1200 kg elevator accelerated upwards at 2 m/s2. Draw a force diagram for the elevator. Calculate the force of tension in the c
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

4800

Explanation:

You have to multiply the 1200 kg and the 2 m/s2. Then multiply the other 2 by the 2400 because it was the answer to the first part now after you multiply your answer is 4800.
