Answer:

1 ampere

Explanation:

Power = VI

V = voltage

I = current

Given

Power = 120 watts

V = 120 volts

Therefore

120 = 120 x I

Divide both sides by 120

120/120 = 120/120 x I

1 = I

I = 1 ampere

A 0.46-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.2 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

Kryger [21]

Answer:

T = 6.0 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cord = 0.46 Kg

length of the supports = 7.2 m

time taken to travel = 0.74 s

tension in the chord = ?

using formula for tension calculation

$T = \dfrac{v^2.m}{l}$

$v = \dfrac{l}{s}$

$v = \dfrac{7.2}{0.74}$

v = 9.73 m/s

now, calculation of tension

$T = \dfrac{9.73^2\times 0.46}{7.2}$

T = 6.0 N

The tension in the cord is equal to 6.0 N.

What will happen if a car experiences a 300 N force to the right from the engine and a separate 150 N force due to friction and

gayaneshka [121]

Force applied on the car due to engine is given as

$F_1 = 300 N$ towards right

Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag

$F_2 = 150 N$ towards left

now the net force on the car will be given as

$\vec F_{net} = \vec F_1 + \vec F_2$

now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.

So we can say

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2$

$F_{net} = 300 - 150$

$F_[net} = 150 N$

So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.

Water (2510 g ) is heated until it just begins to boil. if the water absorbs 5.01×105 j of heat in the process, what was the ini

natka813 [3]

E=energy=5.09x10^5J = 509KJ
M=mass=2250g=2.25Kg 
C=specific heat capacity of water= 4.18KJ/Kg 
ΔT= change in temp= ? 
E=mcΔT 
509=(2.25)x(4.18)xΔT 
509=9.405ΔT 
ΔT=509/9.405=54.1degrees 
Initial temp = 100-54 = 46 degrees 
Hope this helps :)
