The Gulf Stream, for example, has an average speed of 4 mph, or 100 miles/day, or 3600 miles/year, in round numbers. A complete circuit around the Atlantic is 8 or 10 thousand miles, which would take around 3 years on a raft.

4) Block A has a mass of 3kg and velocity of 13m/s, catching up with a second block B that has a mass of 3kg and is moving with
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

That is \left (m_Av_A+m_Bv_B \right )_{initial}=\left (m_Av_A+m_Bv_B \right )_{final}

Substituting values

    3\times 13+3\times 5=3v_A+3\times 8\\\\3v_A=39+15-24\\\\3v_A=30\\\\v_A=10m/s

Speed of block A after collision = 10 m/s

Option A is the correct answer.

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>

Why is the Earth generally warmer at the equator than at the poles?
Elenna [48]
Because of the earths curve and temperature. The temperature in an area depends on the amount of the Sun's energy reaching the surface in that area. The equator tilts closer to the sun than the poles do. I hope this helps!
