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.

If the same amount of force was applied to an object that was twice the mass,​
Olegator [25]

Answer:

the object with greater mass will experience a smaller acceleration and the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, when the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, the two objects will change mass.

A hot-air balloon is 11.0 m above the ground and rising at a speed of 7.00 m/s. A ball is thrown horizontally from the balloon b
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

18.6 m/s

Explanation:

h = Initial height of the balloon = 11 m

v_{o} = initial speed of the ball

v_{oy} = initial vertical speed of the ball = 7 m/s

v_{ox} = initial horizontal speed of the ball = 9 m/s

initial speed of the ball is given as

v_{o} = \sqrt{v_{ox}^{2} + v_{oy}^{2}} = \sqrt{9^{2} + 7^{2}} = 11.4 m/s

v_{f} = final speed of the ball as it strikes the ground

m = mass of the ball

Using conservation of energy

Final kinetic energy before striking the ground = Initial potential energy + Initial kinetic energy

(0.5) m v_{f}^{2} = (0.5) m v_{o}^{2} + mgh \\(0.5) v_{f}^{2} = (0.5) v_{o}^{2} + gh\\(0.5) v_{f}^{2} = (0.5) (11.4)^{2} + (9.8)(11)\\(0.5) v_{f}^{2} = 172.78\\v_{f} = 18.6 m/s

At which point of projectile motion kinetic energy is minimum<br>​
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Therefore, at the highest or at maximum height, the net velocity is u= vocosθ. So, we can say that at the maximum height, the kinetic energy is minimum as the vertical velocity is zero.
