A lamp draws a current of 0.50 A when it is connected to a 120 V source? What is the resistance of the lamp?

Given,
Current (I) = 0.50A
Voltage (V) = 120 volts
Resistance (R) =?
We know that:-
Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)
→Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
= 120/0.50
= 24Ω
∴ Resistance (R) = 24Ω

For this case we have that by definition, Ohm's Law states that:

$V = I * R$

Where:

V: It's the voltage

I: It's the current

R: It's the resistance

According to the data we have to:

$I = 0.50A\\V = 120V$

Clearing the resistance formula we have:

$R = \frac {V} {I}\\R = \frac {120} {0.50}\\R = 240$

So, the resistance is 240 ohms!

Answer:

240Ω

A 150 kg line backer sacks the 120 kg quarterback. With what force is the quarterback sacked if the line backer has an accelerat

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The force required to move the quarterback with linebacker is <u>1215 N</u>

Explanation:

$\text { Mass of linebacker } \mathrm{m}_{2}=150 \mathrm{kg}$

$\text { Mass of quarterback } \mathrm{m}_{2}=120 \mathrm{kg}$

$\text { Moved at an acceleration }(a)=4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Using Newton's second law, it is established that F = Ma

Where F is net force acting on the system, a is the acceleration and M is mass of the two object $\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right)$

Now consider both $\mathrm{m}_{1} \text { and } \mathrm{m}_{2}$ as a system, so net force acting on the system is $\text { Force }=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) a$

Substitute the given values in the above formula,

$\text { Force }=(150+120) \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\text { Force }=270 \mathrm{kg} \times 4.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Force = 1215 N

<u>1215 N </u>is the force required to move the quarterback with linebacker.

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M_1, M_2$ are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.
