Answer:

290W

Explanation:

The relationship between power (P) absorbed by a resistor, the current (I) flowing through the resistor and the value of resistance is given by;

P = I^{2} x R

This means that the power absorbed by a resistor is the product of the current flowing through it and the value of its resistance.

Given;

I = current flowing = 7A

R = resistance =  6 Ω

Substituting the values of I and R into the equation above gives;

=> P = 7^{2} x 6

=> P = 49 x 6

=> P = 294W

Converting this to the nearest 1W gives 290W.

<em>Therefore, the power absorbed by the resistor is 290W</em>

Answer:

294 W

Explanation:

Electrical power: This can be defined as the rate at which electrical energy is used or dissipated. The S.I unit of electrical power is Watt(W).

The expression of electrical power is given as,

P = I²R................... Equation 1

Where P = power, I = current, R = Resistance.

Given: I = 7 A, R = 6 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

P = (7)²(6)

P = 294 W.

Hence the power power absorbed by the resistor is 294 W

6. The hole on a level, elevated golf green is a horizontal distance of 150 m from the tee and at an elevation of 12.4 m above t
Georgia [21]

Answer:

u = 104.68 m/s

Explanation:

given,

horizontal distance = 150 m

elevation of  12.4 m

angle = 8.6°

horizontal motion = x = u cos θ. t .............(1)

vertical motion =

y = u sin \theta - \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2................(2)

from equation(1) and (2)

y = x tan \theta - \dfrac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta}..........{3}

12.4 = 150\times tan (8.6) - \dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2u^2cos^2(8.6)}

\dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2u^2cos^2(8.6)} = 10.29

\dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2\times 10.29\times cos^2(8.6)} = u^2

u = \sqrt{10959.34}

u = 104.68 m/s

The initial speed of the ball is u = 104.68 m/s

A cyclist rides at 6.20 m/s through a intersection. A stationary car begins to
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The width of the intersection is 20 meters

Explanation:

The speed with which the cyclist is riding, v₁ = 6.20 m/s

The rate at which the car starts to accelerate, a = 3.844 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car = The car is stationary at the start = 0 m/s

The time at which the cyclist and the car reach the other side of the intersection = The same time;

Let 't' represent the time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, we have;

The distance travelled by the cyclist = The distance traveled by the car

∴ v₁ × t = 1/2 × a × t²

Plugging in the values for 'v₁', and 'a' in the above equation, we get;

6.20 × t = 1/2 × 3.844 × t²

∴ 1.922·t² - 6.20·t = 0

∴ t·(1.922·t - 6.20) = 0

t = 0, or t = 6.20/1.922 = 100/31

The time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, t = 100/31 seconds

The with of the intersection, w = v₁ × t

∴ w = 6.20 × 100/31 = 100/5 = 20

The width of the intersection, w = 20 meters.
