Atomic theory is a scientific theory of the nature of matter. The atomic theory has changed over time as new technologies have become available. Scientific knowledge builds on past research and experimentation. Democritus, a philosopher in ancient Greece, began the search for a description of matter. ... He believed that the smallest possible piece of matter was indivisible.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

$60 \Omega$

Explanation:

the relation between current, voltage and resistance in an electrical circuit is given by Ohm's law:

$V=IR$

where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. In this problem, the current is I=2 A, the voltage is V=120 V, therefore we can arrange the previous equation and find the resistance:

$R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{120 V}{2 A}=60 \Omega$

Answer:Conversion of electric energy to Heat energy

Explanation:Energy is a quantitative energy measured in JOULES or KILOJOULES which must be transferred to a material for a job to be done. It has also been described as the capacity to do work.

In electric toasters the ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM THE SOURCE IS TRANSFERRED INTO THE TOASTER TO BE CONVERTED TO HEAT ENERGY NEEDED TO TOAST FOODS. Other electrical appliances which converts electric energy to Heat energy includes ELECTRIC BOILERS, ELECTRIC COOKERS etc.

A 70.0 kg person climbs stairs, gaining 3.90 meters in height. Find the work done (in J) to accomplish this task.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 2675.4 J

Given:

mass, m = 70.0 kg

height, H = 3.90 m

Solution:

According to the question, as the person jumps the stairs up, there is an increase in the potential energy of the person which is provided by the work done in climbing the stairs and is given by:

Work done, W = mgH

where

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.8 m/s^{2}[tex][tex]W = 70.0\times 9.8\times 3.90 = 2675.4 J$
