Explanation:

Ohm's law:

V = IR

120 V = (0.5 A) R

R = 240 Ω

Answer:

The resistance of alight bulb is 240 ohms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference of a light bulb, V = 120 V

Current produced in the light bulb, I = 0.5 A

We need to find the resistance of the light bulb. It can be calculated using Ohm's law. It is given by :

V = IR

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}$

$R=\dfrac{120\ V}{0.5\ A}$

R = 240 ohms

So, the resistance of alight bulb is 240 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

$T_{2}=278.80 K$

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relate the temperatures and volumes of an adiabatic process in a ideal gas.

$(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$ .

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation to the initial and the final state:

$\frac{p_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Let's recall that the term nR is a constant. That is why we can match these equations.

We can find a relation between the volumes of the initial and the final state.

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}}$

Combining this equation with the first equation we have:

$(\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$(\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}^{\gamma}}{T_{1}^{\gamma}}$

Now, we just need to solve this equation for T₂.

$T_{1}\cdot (\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}} = T_{2}$

Let's assume the initial temperature and pressure as 25 °C = 298 K and 1 atm = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa, in a normal conditions.

Here,

$p_{2}=8.00\cdot 10^{4} Pa \\p_{1}=1.01\cdot 10^{5} Pa\\ T_{1}=298 K\\ \gamma=1.40$

Finally, T2 will be:

$T_{2}=278.80 K$

Scorpion4ik [409]

Imagine you were able to throw a ball in a frictionless environment
such as outer space. Once you let go of the ball, it will travel forever
in a straight line, and at a constant speed. (At least until it bumps into
something.)

A car accelerates down the road. The reaction to the tires pushing
on the road is the road pushing on the tires.

The uniform 100-kg I-beam is supported initially by its end rollers on the horizontal surface at A and B. by means of the cable

Ann [662]

I attached a free body diagram for a better understanding of this problem.

We start making summation of Moments in A,

$\sum M_A = 0$

$P(6cos\theta)-981(4cos\theta)=0$

$P=654N$

Then we make a summation of Forces in Y,

$\sum F_y = 0$

$654+R-981 = 0$

$R=327N$

At the end we calculate the angle with the sin.

$sin\theta = \frac{3m}{4m+2m+2m} = \frac{3m}{8m}$

$\theta = 22.02\°$

An objects weighs 30n on earth a second object weighs 30n on thee moon which has the greatest mass of is it the same

bulgar [2K]

Mass is indirectly proportional to gravity, as moon has less gravity mass would be greater there, if weight of the object is same!

In short, your answer would be "Moon"

Hope this helps!
