A certain electric furnace consumes 24 kw when it is connected to a 240-v line. what is the resistance of the furnace?
weeeeeb [17]

One very handy electrical formula is

Power dissipated by a resistance = (Voltage)²/(resistance) .

24 kilowatts = (240 v)² / Resistance

Multiply each side by (Resistance):

(Resistance) x (24 kilowatts) = (240 v)²

Divide each side by (24 kilowatts):

Resistance = (240 v)² / (24,000 watts)

Resistance = (57,600 / 24,000) (volt² / volt · Amp)

Resistance = 2.4 (volt/Amp)

Resistance = 2.4 Ohms

A musical note has a frequency of 512 Hz. If the wavelength of the note is 0.685 m, what is the speed of the sound of that note?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

350.72 m/s

Explanation:

Formula for velocity of wave is;

v = fλ

Where;

v is speed

f is frequency

λ is wavelength

We are given;

f = 512 Hz

λ = 0.685 m

Thus;

v = 512 × 0.685

v = 350.72 m/s

A beam of protons is directed in a straight line along the +z direction through a region of space in which there are crossed ele
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B = 7.6 T   direction of + x

Explanation:

For the proton beam to continue in the same direction the electric and magnetic forces must be equal

              F_{m} - F_{e} = 0

              F_{m} = F_{e}

              Fm = q E

             

The electric force is in the direction of the electric field because it is the charge of the positive proton, the electric force goes in the direction of –y, therefore, the magnetic force cancels this force must go in the direction of + y

 The magnetic force is

             F_{m} = q v x B = q v B sin θ

             θ = 90

             B = q E / q v

             B = E / v

             B = 800/105

             B = 7.6 T

To find the direction of the magnetic field we use the right hand rule, the thumb goes in the direction of the proton velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm is the direction of force, for a positive charge.

Thumb goes in the direction of the + z axis

Palm in the direction of +y

Fingers point in the direction of + x

In a car lift, compressed air exerts a force on a piston with a radius of 2.62 cm. This pressure is transmitted to a second pist
marin [14]

Answer:

847.45 N

Explanation:

F₁=force of exerted by smaller piston

F₂=force of exerted by larger piston=1.44×10⁴ N

A₁=Area of smaller piston= 2.62 cm =0.0265 m

A₂=Area of larger piston= 10.8 cm =0.108 m

Pressure exerted by both the pistons will be equal

P_1=P_2\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=\frac{F_2}{A_2} A_1\\\Rightarrow F_1=\frac{14400}{\pi\times  0.108^2}\pi\times  0.0262^2\\\Rightarrow F_1=847.45\ N

Hence, force exerted to lift a 14400 N car is 847.45 N
