a microwave uses a 14 a of electricity if 120 v is run through it what is the resistance of the microwave

1 answer:

5 0

Resistance = voltage / current.

That's. 120v / 14A = 8.57 ohms.

By the way, voltage doesn't "run through" anything. Current does. That would be the 14 Amps.

grigory [225]

Answer:

The only incorrect statement is from student B

Explanation:

The planet mercury has a period of revolution of 58.7 Earth days and a rotation period around the sun of 87 days 23 ha, approximately 88 Earth days.

Let's examine student claims using these rotation periods

Student A. The time for 4 turns around the sun is

t = 4 88

t = 352 / 58.7 Earth days

In this time I make as many rotations on itself each one with a time to = 58.7 Earth days

#_rotaciones = t / to

#_rotations = 352 / 58.7

#_rotations = 6

therefore this statement is TRUE

student B. the planet rotates 6 times around the Sun

t = 6 88

t = 528 s

The number of rotations on itself is

#_rotaciones = t / to

#_rotations = 528 / 58.7

#_rotations = 9

False, turn 9 times

Student C. 8 turns around the sun

t = 8 88

t = 704 days

the number of turns on itself is

#_rotaciones = t / to

#_rotations = 704 / 58.7

#_rotations = 12

True

The only incorrect statement is from student B

(a) Neil A. Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. The distance between the earth and the moon is . Find the time i

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a) It took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

b) The minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensitie. That radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Visible region

Infrared

Microwave

Radio waves.

Any radiation that belongs to electromagnetic spectrum has a speed in vacuum of $3x10^{8}m/s$ .

a) Find the time it took for his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

To know the time that took for Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves, the following equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where v is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is $3.85x10^{8} m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 1.28s$

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

b) Determine the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves.

The distance from the Earth to the Mars at its closest approach is $5.76x10^{10}m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{5.76x10^{10}m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 192s$

Hence, the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

In the following diagram, the voltage is 1.5 volts and the resistance is 0.35 ohms. Use Ohm's Law to determine the current in th

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

I = 4.28 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problems we must have knowledge of the law of ohm, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of resistance by current.

Initial data:

v = 1.5 [volt]

R = 0.35 [ohms]

v = I * R

therefore:

I = 1.5 / 0.35

I = 4.28 [amp]

Platinum has a density of 21.4 g/cm3. if thieves were to steal platinum from a bank using a small truck with a maximum payload o

slega [8]

We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb.
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3
= 19076.6 cm^3

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.
