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.

Best Answer:<span> </span><span>The net angle between the direction of flight of the aircraft and the wind in the opposing direction is 20. THe component opposing the aircraft is 2.4*cos 20 KN
= 2400 * 0.9397 = 2255.2622 N. The distance covered is 120 Km
The work done by the aircraft overcoming the wind is
= 2255.2622 * 120000 = 270631464 = 2.71 x 10^8 N
As the question is trickily worded as : the work done on the plane by the air (wind) the answer is -2.71 x 10^8 J . (fourth option)</span>

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: 20 kgm/s

Explanation:

Given that M1 = M2 = 10kg

V1 = 5 m/s , V2 = 3 m/s

Since momentum is a vector quantity, the direction of the two object will be taken into consideration.

The magnitude of their combined

momentum before the crash will be:

M1V1 - M2V2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 × 5 - 10 × 3

50 - 30

20 kgm/s

Therefore, the magnitude of their combined momentum before the crash will be 20 kgm/s

Sketch a reaction progress curve for a reaction that has an activation energy of 22 kj and the total energy change is -103kj.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Do find the answer in the attachment herein.

Explanation:

From the attached diagram:

I. Activation energy = Activated complex - ∆H(reactants)

Activation energy = 162-140 = 22Kj.

II. ∆H(reaction) = ∆H(products) - ∆H(reactants)

∆H(reaction) = 37 - 140 = -103Kj.
