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:

 F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Explanation:

The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form

          F = - k (x-xo)

To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.

Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,

we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring

we look for the mass of each weight

         W = mg

          m = W / g

and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.

The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

outward from a wall just above floor level. A 1.5 kg box sliding across a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and comp
sweet [91]

Answer:

v = 0.489 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a box, m = 1.5 kg

The compression in the spring, x = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

Let the spring constant of the spring is 85 N/m

We need to find the velocity of the box (v) when it hit the spring. It is based on the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy of spring before collision is equal to the spring energy after compression i.e.

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{85\times (0.065)^2}{1.5}} \\\\v=0.489\ m/s

So, the speed of the box is 0.489 m/s.

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power

So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 600 * 4 = 2400 Wh

E = 2.4 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 2.4 = 876 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 876 * 10 = 8760 cents = $87.60

Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs

So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 300 * 4 = 1200 Wh

E = 1.2 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 1.2 = 438 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 438 * 10 = 4380 cents = $43.80

total money saved in 1 year

Savings = 87.6 - 43.8 = $43.80

A pole AB of length 10.0m and weight 600N has its center of gravity 4.0m from the end A, and lies on horizontal ground .Calculat
postnew [5]

Answer:

The force required to begin to lift the pole from the end 'A' is 240 N

Explanation:

The given parameters for the pole AB are;

The length of the pole, l = 10.0 m

The weight of the pole, W = 600 N ↓

The distance of the center of gravity of the pole from the side 'A' = 4.0 m

Let 'F_A' represent the force required to begin to lift the pole from the end 'A' and let a force applied in the upwards direction be positive

For equilibrium, the sum of moment about the point 'B' = 0, therefore, taking moment about 'B', we have

F_A × 10.0 m - W × 4.0 m = 0

∴ F_A × 10.0 m = W × 4.0 m = 600 N × 4.0 m

F_A × 10.0 m = 600 N × 4.0 m

∴  F_A = 600 N × 4.0 m/(10.0 m) = 240 N

The force required to begin to lift the pole from the end 'A', F_A = 240 N.
