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.

I need help with one question on my homework. This is on the Specific Heat Capacity required practical.

Answer:

will mostly accord at the top of the boiling water my kind sir

Explanation:

Evaporation takes place only at the surface of a liquid, whereas boiling may occur throughout the liquid. In boiling, the change of state takes place at any point in the liquid where bubbles form. The bubbles then rise and break at the surface of the liquid.

If n=1 you divide by 2
If n=2 you divide by 4
If n=3 you divide by 8
so any n you divide by 2 to the power n

Practice entering numbers that include a power of 10 by entering the diameter of a hydrogen atom in its ground state, dH = 1.06

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

$1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

m = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

n = 1 (ground state)

Angular momentum is given by

$L=mvr$

From Bohr's atomic model we have

$L=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}$

$mvr=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr}$

The centripetal force will balance the electrostatic force

$\dfrac{ke^2}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=mv^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=m(\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr})^2\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{4\pi^2mke^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{1^2\times (6.626\times 10^{-34})^2}{4\pi^2 \times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 8.99\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}\\\Rightarrow r=5.30426\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The diameter is $2\times 5.30426\times 10^{-11}=1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m$

which of the following statements best explains how consumers determine growth in technological areas

Mrac [35]

If these were the missing choices:

a) Consumers fill out questionnaires concerning their need for new products.

b) Consumers vote for politicians who decide which kind of research to support

c) Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy

d) Consumers influence the decisions of private foundations by deciding where to donate money.

My answer would be: c) <span>Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy</span>

Every growth is based on the demand of the people. If a good or service is needed then its demand will increase. If a good or service is not needed then its demand will decrease until such time that said good or service will be eliminated.
