I = V/Z

V = voltage, I = current, Z = impedance

First let's find the total impedance of the circuit.

The impedance of the resistor is:

Z_{R} = R

R = resistance

Given values:

R = 1200Ω

Plug in:

Z_{R} = 1200Ω

The impedance of the inductor is:

Z_{L} = j2πfL

f = source frequency, L = inductance

Given values:

f = 59Hz, L = 2.4H

Plug in:

Z_{L} = j2π(59)(2.4) = j889.7Ω

Add up the individual impedances to get the Z, and convert Z to polar form:

Z = Z_{R} + Z_{L}

Z = 1200 + j889.7

Z = 1494∠36.55°Ω

I = V/Z

Given values:

V = 170∠0°V (assume 0 initial phase)

Z = 1494∠36.55°Ω

I = 170∠0°/1494∠36.55°Ω

I = 0.1138∠-36.55°A

Round the magnitude of I to 2 significant figures and now you have your maximum current:

I = 0.11A

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased, and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.

line would be less. the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>

A woman 5.5 ft walks at a rate of 6 ft/sec towards a street light that is 22 ft above the ground. At what rate is the length of
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The length of her shadow is changing at the rate  -2 m/s

Explanation:

Let the height oh the street light, h = 22 ft

Let the height of the woman, w = 5.5 ft

Horizontal distance to the street light = l

length of shadow = x

h/w = (l + x)/x

22/5.5 =  (l + x)/x

4x = l + x

3x = l

x = 1/3 l

taking the derivative with respect to t of both sides

dx/dt = 1/3 dl/dt

dl/dt = -6 ft/sec ( since the woman is walking towards the street light, the value of l is decreasing with time)

dx/dt = 1/3 * (-6)

dx/dt = -2 m/s

What is the current through a 25 ohm resistor connected to a 5.0 V power supply? a 0.20 A b 5.0 A c 25 A d 30 A
zysi [14]
~Formula: Voltage= current• resistance
(V= Ir)
~Using this formula, plug in the numbers from the equation into the formula
~5=25i
~Now you have a one-step equation
~Divide by 25 on both sides and you should get your answer:
~I= 0.2 (which means current is 0.2)
