     Power  =  (voltage) x (current)

       500 W  =  (120 v) x (current)

     Current  =  (500 w) / (120 v)  =  4-1/6 amperes .

Power and current are both rates.
Power is the rate of using energy ... joules per second.
Current is the rate of flowing charge ... coulombs per second.
Neither quantity depends on how long you keep it up.
They're both going on continuously while the vacuum is running.

a missile is moving 1810 m/s at a 20.0. It needs to hit a target 29,500m away in a 65.0 magnitude in 9.20s. What acceleration mu
Vesna [10]

Answer:

323 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

y₀ = 0 m

x = 29500 cos 65°

y = 29500 sin 65°

v₀x = 1810 cos 20°

v₀y = 1810 sin 20°

t = 9.20

Find:

ax, ay, θ

First, in the x direction:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

29500 cos 32° = 0 + (1810 cos 20°) (9.20) + ½ ax (9.20)²

25017 = 15648 + 42.32 ax

ax ≈ 221.4

And in the y direction:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

29500 sin 32° = 0 + (1810 sin 20°) (9.20) + ½ ay (9.20)²

15633 = 5695 + 42.32 ay

ay ≈ 234.8

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration is:

a² = ax² + ay²

a² = (221.4)² + (234.8)²

a ≈ 322.7

Rounded to 3 significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is approximately 323 m/s².

Ksju [112]

Answer:

17. NADH has a molar extinction coefficient of 6200 M2 cm at 340 nm. Calculate the molar concentration of NADH required to obtain an absorbance of 0.1 at 340 nm in a 1-cm path length cuvette. 18. A sample with a path length of 1 cm absorbs 99.0% of the incident light at a wavelength of 274 nm, measured with respect to an appropriate solvent blank. Tyrosine is known to be the only chromophore present in the sample that has significant absorption at 274 nm. Calculate the molar concentration of tyrosine in the sample.

Which point on the roller coaster's path represents the maximum potential energy?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Point A (Maximum height)

Explanation:

Potential energy is given as the product of mass, height and acceleration due to gravity hence expressed as mgh where m is the mass of roller coaster, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity. Since the mass and g are constant for a roller coaster, the main factor that will influence the magnitude of energy is the height. The higher the height, the higher the potential energy and vice versa. Using the attached image, the highest point is point A
