Answer:

b. 20.0

Explanation:

From ohm's law,

V = IR.................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage source, I = current carried by the iron, R = Resistance of the steam iron.

Make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I.................. Equation 2

Given: V = 1.2×10² V, I = 6.00 A.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 1.2×10²/6

R = 20 Ohms.

Hence the resistance of the steam iron = 20 Ohms.

The right option is b. 20.0

Why are chemicals and hot objects never placed directly on the balance pan?
natita [175]
The answer is to retain the balance pan clean and to keep chemicals from mixing with other chemicals.  Also some chemicals can respond with the metal of the balance pan and cause it to oxidize or corrode.  Each time you use the balance pan, use weighing paper or a small dish or beaker to weigh out chemicals.

With a force of 5 Newton's Amanda pushes the stacks of books to the right. At the same time Jeremih her little brother pushes th
Fynjy0 [20]

Alright, so solving for the net force is a rather simple and easy step. I want to briefly explain how you determine the net force, but before I do, let's examine the problem together. What has been provided to us? What direction is it going? Well, we can look at the information!

Amanda's Force: 5 N

Jeremiah's Force: 10 N

They're both pushing on the books, but in different directions. Left and right. If Amanda is pushing the books to the right 5 newtons, and Jeremiah is pushing the books to the left with 10 newtons, that means the net force is 5. The book is being pushed to the left! We can say that because Jeremiah's force is much larger than his sisters.

We can determine the net force from the following;

Net Force → 10 N - 5 N = 5 N

In conclusion, your answer should be a total of five (5) newtons
