Answer: The correct answer is 16 ohms.

Explanation:

The mathematical expression from Ohm's law is as follows;

V=IR

Here, I is the current, V is the potential and R is the resistance.

It is given in the problem that the potential in the circuit is 240 V and the current is 15 A.

Calculate the resistance by rearranging the above expression.

R=\frac{V}{I}

Put I= 15 A and V= 240 V.

R=\frac{240}{15}

R= 16 ohms

Therefore, the value of the resistance is 16 ohms.

Light travels at 3 × 108 m/s, and it takes about 8 min for light from the sun to travel to Earth. Based on this, the order of ma
N76 [4]

Answer:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

Explanation:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth can be calculated as follows:

c = \frac{x}{t}

Where:

c: is the speed of light = 3x10⁸ m/s

t: is the time = 8 min

Hence, the distance is:

x = c*t = 3 \cdot 10^{8} m/s*8 min*\frac{60 s}{1 min} = 1.44 \cdot 10^{11} m = 1.44 \cdot 10^{8} km

Therefore, the order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

I hope it helps you!

Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work does she do? *
babunello [35]

She does 200J .

We know she uses 20N of force and 10m is the distance. We multiply both numbers and we are given our answer of 200J. Hope this was helpful. :)
