This problem can be solved by the formula used to find resistance. The formula is R=V/I which basically means divide the Voltage by the Current to find the Resistance in an object. Ohm's law.

Answer: The resistance of the hair dryer is $12\Omega$

Explanation:

Ohm's law is defined as the law which gives us the relationship between voltage, resistance and current.

Mathematically,

$V=I\times R$

where,

V = voltage of the hair dryer = 120 V

I = current of the hair dryer = 10 A

R = resistance of the hair dryer = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$120=10\times R\\\\R=\frac{120}{10}=12\Omega$

Hence, the resistance of the hair dryer is $12\Omega$

DESCRIBE floods and droughts. What are their effects? EXPLAIN how they can be prevented

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

EFFECTS: ( doughts)

There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

EFFECTS:( FLOODS)

The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

Construct buildings above flood levels.
Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

A certain moving electron has a kinetic energy of 0.991 × 10−19 J. Calculate the speed necessary for the electron to have this e

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

$K.E=\frac{1mv^2}{2}$
