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.

An automobile of mass 1.46 cross times to the power of blank 10 cubed kg rounds a curve of radius 25.0 m with a velocity of 15.0
Vsevolod [243]

The centripetal force exerted on the automobile while rounding the curve is 1.31\times10^4 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

given that

Mass\ of\ the\ automobile\ m  =1.46\times 10^3 kg\\radius\ of\ the\ curve\ r =25 m\\velocity\ of\ the\ automobile\ v=15m/s\\

Objects moving around a circular track will experience centripetal force towards the center of the circular track.

centripetal\ force=mv^2/r\\=1.46\times10^3\times15^2/25\\=1.46\times 10^3\times 225/15\\=1.31\times 10^4 N

How can hand tools help every technician for their safety in doing hard servicing activities​
Anni [7]

Answer: Hand tools are necessary for daily activities.

Explanation:

The hand tools are useful for day to day activities they aid in pouring substances, holding things, mixing substances, cleaning and for other purposes. In a chemical laboratory the hand tools like test tube holders can help in holding the chemicals. In a medical laboratory the forceps can be useful in holding and cutting the sections without causing any harm to the hands. Hand tools avoid the direct contact with the microorganisms in medical laboratory thus protect against infections. Hand tools aid in surgical operations and they help in avoiding direct contact with the blood vessels and organs preventing contamination and infections.

A hollow, uniformly charged sphere has an inner radius of r1 = 0.105 m and an outer radius of r2 = 0.31 m. The sphere has a net
Sliva [168]

Answer:

E = 77532.42N/C

Explanation:

In order to find the magnitude of the electric field for a point that is in between the inner radius and outer radius, you take into account the Gauss' law for the electric flux trough a spherical surface with radius r:

\int E\cdot dS=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}       (1)

Q: net charge of the hollow sphere = 1.9*10-6C

ε0: dielectric permittivity of vacuum = 8.85*10^-12 C^2/Nm^2

Furthermore, you have that the net charge contained in a sphere of radius r is:

Q=\rho V=\rho \frac{4\pi (r^3-r_1^3)}{3}      (2)

with the charge density is:

\rho=\frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(r_2^3-r_1^3)}          (3)

r2: outer radius = 0.31m

r1: inner radius = 0.105m

The electric field trough the Gaussian surface is parallel to the normal to the surface, the, you have in the integral of the equation (1):

\int E\cdot dS=E(4\pi r^2)      (4)

where you have used the expression for a surface of a sphere.

Next, you replace the expressions of equations (2), (3) and (4) in the equation (1) and solve for E:

E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{1}{\epsilon_o}\frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(r_2^3-r_1^3)}(\frac{4\pi (r^3-r_1^3)}{3})\\\\E=\frac{1}{\epsilon_o}\frac{Q(r^3-r_1^3)}{4\pi r^2(r_2^3-r_1^3)}

you replace the values of all parameters, and with r = 0.17m

E=\frac{(1.6*10^{-6}C)((0.17m)^3-(0.105m)^3)}{4\pi(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)(0.17m)^2((0.31m)^3-(0.105m)^3)}\\\\E=77532.42\frac{N}{C}

The magnitude of the electric field at a distance r=0.17m to the center of the hollow sphere is 77532.42N/C
