Calculate the current in mA through the person, given the voltage of the source to be 120 V and the resistance of the appliance

to be 2,552 Ohms. Let the resistance of the person be 96 Ohms which is a low but very possible with wet skin or sweaty hands.

Answer:

90.6 A

Explanation:

From ohm's law,

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

Where V = Voltage of the source, I = current through the person, R = Total resistance

Make I the subject of the equation,

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

From the question,

R = Resistance of the appliance + Resistance of the skin

R = 2552+96 = 2648 ohms.

Given:

V = 240 V, R = 2648 Ω

Substitute into equation 2

I = 240/2648

I = 0.0906 A

I = 90.6 mA.

Hence the current through the person = 90.6 A.

What will the stopping distance be for a 3,000-kg car if -3,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 10 m/s?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

F = force applied to stop the car = - 3000 N

m = mass of the car = 3000 kg

a = acceleration of the car = ?

v₀ = initial velocity of the car before the force is applied to stop it = 10 m/s

v = final velocity of the car when it comes to stop = 0 m/s

d = stopping distance of the car

acceleration of the car is given as

a = F/m

inserting the values

a = - 3000/3000

a = - 1 m/s²

using the kinematics equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 a d

inserting the values

0² = 10² + 2 (-1) d

0 = 100 - 2 d

2 d = 100

d = 100/2

d = 50 m


hence the correct choice is

C. 50 m

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain
RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

speed is 81.03 mph

direction is N 3.58 W

Explanation:

given data

travel north = 70 mph

Stream current = 12 mph

direction = S 25° E

result due north = 70 mph

to find out

speed and direction

solution

we will get component of resultant  that is

v cosθ  and v sinθ

so

( 12cos295 , 12 sin295 )    at ( 0, 70)

as that we can say

v sinθ + 12sin295 = 70      ....................1

v cosθ + 12 cos295  = 0     ......................2

so

vcosθ  = -5.0714

vsinθ = 80.8756

now by ratio

cosθ /sinθ  = -5.0714/ 80.8756

cot θ = -0.0627

θ = 93.58

so direction is N 3.58 W

and

we know

vcosθ  = - 12cos295

v = - 12cos295 / cos(93.58)

v = 81.03 mph

so speed is 81.03 mph
