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 15-kilogram cart is at rest on a horizontal
Sergio [31]
The most likely answer to this problem would be (1) more mass and more inertia.

A 15-kilogram cart at rest and a 5-kilogram box would make up a 20-kilogram cart and box that is at rest on a horizontal surface. The mass changed into something more, of course, as a result of combining the two object into one and by combining the two objects' mass, the inertia that it previously possessed as a cart by itself was increased when the inertia of the box was also combined to the cart.

The frequency and wavelength of EM waves can vary over a wide range of values. Scientists refer to the full range of frequencies
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

b.) All these technologies use radio waves, including high-frequency microwaves

d.) Microwave ovens emit in the same frequency band as some wireless Internet devices.

e.) The radiation emitted by wireless Internet devices has the shortest wavelength of all the technologies listed above.

f.) All these technologies emit waves with a wavelength in the range of 0.10 to 10.0 m.

Explanation:

For option D. The frequency range of microwave ovens is 2450 MHz = 2.4 GHz, which intersects with wireless internet technology with range of 2.4 to 2.6 GHz.

For E, wavelenght and frequency are inversely proportional. Wireless internet service has the greatest frequency band and hence the shortest wavelenght band.

For F, in all these radiations, the highest Freq is 2.6 GHz and the lowest is 40 MHz. Wavelenght is speed of light (3x10^8 m/s) divided by the frequency.

2.6 GHz = 2.6x10^9 Hz

Wavelenght = 3x10^8 ÷ 2.6x10^9 = 0.1 m

40 MHz = 40x10^6

Wavelenght = 3x10^8 ÷ 40x10^6 = 7.5 m

For a spacecraft or a molecule to leave the moon, it must reach the escape velocity (speed) of the moon, which is 2.37 km/s. The
guapka [62]

Answer:

Vrms = 291 m/s

Explanation:

The root mean square velocity or vrms is the square root of the average square velocity and is. vrms=√3RTM. Where M is equal to the molar mass of the molecule in kg/mol.

Temperature = 365 K

Root mean square velocity = ?

molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol.

But xygen gas (O2) is comprised of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Therefore:

   molar mass of O2 = 2 x 16

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

   Convert this to kg/mol:

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol x 1 kg/1000 g

   molar mass of O2 = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Vrms = √[3(8.3145 (kg·m2/sec2)/K·mol)(365 K)/3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol]

Vrms = 291 m/s
