Gravity causes the motions of planets, stars, and galaxies. It's why the Moon orbits around the Earth, and the Earth orbits around the Sun, and the solar system orbits around the galaxy.

Gravity keeps planets in orbit. It affects the paths that everything in space takes because every object in space has a gravitational pull towards each other.

A "590-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

a) 24.4 Ω

b) 4.92 A

c) 495.9 W

d)

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

Explanation:

b)

The formula for power is:

P = IV

where,

P = Power of heater = 590 W

V = Voltage it takes = 120 V

I = Current Drawn = ?

Therefore,

590 W = (I)(120 V)

I = 590 W/120 V

<u>I = 4.92 A</u>

<u></u>

a)

From Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

Therefore,

R = 120 V/4.92 A

<u>R = 24.4 Ω</u>

<u></u>

c)

For constant resistance and 110 V the power becomes:

P = V²/R

Therefore,

P = (110 V)²/24.4 Ω

<u>P = 495.9 W</u>

<u></u>

d)

If the resistance decreases, it will increase the current according to Ohm's Law. As a result of increase in current the power shall increase according to formula (P = VI). Therefore, correct option is:

<u>c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.</u>

friction force is the opposition to the motion of surfaces sliding across each other. what is one factor that affects the amount
ruslelena [56]

Answer

Nature of the surfaces.


Explanation

Friction is the the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in relative motion. If two objects are in contact, one of it or both must be in motion for friction to exist.

Friction is affected by a number of factors.

One is the weight of the object. The more the weight of the object the higher the friction between it and the surface.

The other factor is the nature of the surfaces. Rough surfaces contribute to high friction while smooth surfaces reduces the friction between surfaces.
