PART A)

Here we know that

potential difference across the wire is

V = 78 volts

resistance of wire is

R = 7 ohm

now by ohm's law

V = iR

78 = i(7 ohm)

i = 11.14 A

Part b)

Power rating is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is defined as

P = iV

now we have

P = 11.14 ( 78)

P = 869.1 Watt

A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass mm at the top of a
muminat

Answer:

\mathbf{v_{max} = \sqrt{gL}}

Explanation:

Considering an object that moving about in a circular path,  the equation for such centripetal force can be computed as:

\mathbf {F = \dfrac{mv^2}{2}}

The model for the person can be seen in the diagram attached below.

So, along the horizontal axis, the net force that is exerted on the person is:

mg cos \theta = \dfrac{mv^2}{L}

Dividing both sides by "m"; we have :

g cos \theta = \dfrac{v^2}{L}

Making "v" the subject of the formula: we have:

v^2 = g Lcos \theta

v=\sqrt{ gL cos \theta

So, when \theta = 0; the velocity is maximum

∴

v_{max} = \sqrt{gL \ cos \theta}

v_{max} = \sqrt{gL \ cos (0)}

v_{max} = \sqrt{gL \times 1}

\mathbf{v_{max} = \sqrt{gL}}

Hence; the maximum walking speed for the person  is \mathbf{v_{max} = \sqrt{gL}}

Two girls stand 500m away from a tall wall
Mama L [17]

From the calculations, the speed of sound in this case is 16.9 m/s.

<h3>What is an echo?</h3>

The term echo has to do with the reflection of sound waves. Sound is a mechanical wave.

we know that the speed of sound is obtained from;

V = 2x/t

x = distance covered

t = time taken

V = 2(500)/59

v = 16.9 m/s

The error in the experiment could come from;

  • Lack of precise time measurement
  • Error can also arise from the environment of the experiment
