When a resistor is connected to a 12 volt source, it draws a 185 mA current. what's the resistance? (I said 65 ohms). the same r

Resistance-1 = (voltage-1) / (current-1) =

                       (12 V)  /  (0.185 A)  =  64.9 ohms .

Resistance-2 = (voltage-2) / (current-2) =
 
                           (90 V )  /  (1.25 A)  =  72 ohms .

The resistance changed between situation-1 and situation-2 .
How did that happen ?

Power = (voltage) x (current)

Power-1 = (12)  x  (0.185)  =  2.22 watts

Power-2 = (90)  x  (1.25)  =  112.5 watts

The poor resistor dissipated 51 times as much power during
the second trial.  It got all heated up, and its resistance went
through the roof.

Carbon resistors behave nicely and reliably, until you try to
toast bread or light up your bedroom with them.

A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,
Paraphin [41]

Answer: 42.49 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:

While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.

Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.

Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side

By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.

(1)  Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)        

Searching for the Va in (1)

Va = G/Tan(∅)

Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°

Va = 9.81m/s^{2}  / Tan(13.0°)

Va = 42.49 m/s^{2}

The vans acceleration need to be 42.49 m/s^{2}  to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof

A wheel is rotating at 30.0 rpm. The wheel then accelerates uniformly to 50.0 rpm in 10.0 seconds. Determine the – a) rate of an
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is 0.209\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, \omega_{i} = 30.0\ rpm

Angular velocity, \omega_{f} = 50.0\ rpm

Time t = 10.0 sec

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{\Delta t}

\alpha=\dfrac{50.0-30.0}{10.0}

Now, we change the angular velocity in rad/s.

\omega=20\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}

\omega=2.09\ rad/s

\alpha=\dfrac{2.09}{10.0}

\alpha=0.209\ rad/s^2

Hence, The angular acceleration is 0.209\ rad/s^2

Question 5 of 10
jonny [76]

Answer:

A. The particle model, because only high-energy frequencies of light  can remove electrons .

Explanation:

Each photon of blue light has higher energy than each photon of red light has  . So when each photon strikes each electron , it gets ejected . But the photon of red light has not sufficient energy to eject electron . Once the photon of red light strikes the electron , the energy is wasted off . Energy of photon can not be accumulated . Thus photon behaves like particle .
