Answer:

R= 20 ohm  

Explanation:

Given that

Current ,I = 6 A

Voltage difference ,ΔV = 120 V

Lets take resistance of the stem iron = R

We know that ,the relationship between current ,voltage difference and resistance is given as

ΔV = I R

R=\dfrac{\Delta V}{I}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

R=\dfrac{120}{6}\ ohm

R= 20 ohm

Therefore the resistance of the steam  will be 20 ohm.

A positively-charged object with a mass of 0.129 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency)
9966 [12]

Answer:308 N/m

Explanation:

Given

mass\left ( m\right )=0.129 kg

wavelength\left ( \lambda \right )=3.86\times 10^7

We know frequency =\frac{c}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{3.86\tmes 10^7}

f=7.772 Hz

As the frequency of radio waves is same as the frequency at which object oscillates

f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

7.772=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

7.772\times 2\times \pi =\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

k=307.70\approx 308 N/m

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way
BartSMP [9]
I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

If an object has a high density then the molicules making up that object are closly packed togeather. Because of this, objects with a higher density will have more mass than objects of the same size that have a lesser density.

A box of unknown mass is sliding with an initial speed vi = 5.60 m/s across a horizontal frictionless warehouse floor when it en
Maksim231197 [3]

We know that the Delta E + W(Work done by non-conservative forces) = 0 (change of energy)

In here, the non-conservative force is the friction force where f = uN (u =kinetic friction coefficient) 

W= f x d = uNd ; N=mg 
Delta E = 1/2 mV^2 -1/2mVi^2 

umgd + 1/2mV^2 - 1/2mVi^2 = 0 (cancel out the m term) 

This will then give us: 

1/2Vi^2-ugd = 1/2V^2 

V^2 = Vi^2 - 2ugd

So plugging in our values, will give us:

V= Sqrt (5.6^2 -2.3^2)

=sqrt (26.07)

= 5.11 m/s
