Hey there! 

<span>Scientists know that seismic waves can be either compressional or transverse because there are horizontal and vertical movements during an earthquake. Horizontal movements are compressional while vertical movements are transverse. 

Thank you!</span>

How many 60-watt lamps could be connected in parallel on a 15-amp, 120-volt circuit without exceeding 80% of the rating of the c
Alborosie

The total number of lamps is mathematically given as

N=24

<h3>What is the total number of lamps?</h3>

Question Parameters:

How many 60-watt lamps could be connected in parallel on a 15-amp, 120-volt

Generally, the equation for the Power  is mathematically given as

P=IV

Therefore

I=P/v

I=60/120

I=0.5A

Since the system does not exceed 80% of the rating

NI=I'(0.8)

N=15*0.8/0.5

N=24

In conclusion, the total number of lamps is

N=24

vazorg [7]

Fossil Fuels:

Coal and Oil

How they are formed:

Coal is formed from big plants, from a long time ago. When the big plants died, they formed layers at the bottom of swamps and the dirt began to pile up and it formed Coal.

Oil is a fossil fuel that has been formed from a large amount tiny plants and animals such as algae and zooplankton.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

E = 307667  N/C

Explanation:

Since the object's mass is 1 g, then its weight in newtons is 0.001 * 9.8 = 0.0098 N.

This weight should have the same magnitude of the vertical component of the tension T of the string (T * cos(37)) so we can find the magnitude of the tension T via:

0.0098 N = T * cos(37)

then T = 0.0098/cos(37) N = 0.01227 N

Knowing the tension's magnitude, we can find its horizontal component:

T * sin(37) = 0.007384 N

and now we can obtain the value of the electric field since we know the charge of the ball to be: -2.4 * 10^(-8) C:

0.007384 N = E * 2.4 * 10^(-8) C

Then  E = 0.007384/2.4 * 10^(-8)  N/C

E = 307667  N/C
