When connected to a 120 V outlet, a light bulb consumed a power of 50.4 watts. What is the current flowing through it?

<u>Given data:</u>

Voltage (V) = 120 V,

Power    (P) = 50.4 Watts,

current flowing  (I) = ?

Power is nothing but the rate of doing work. Hence W/t represents electric Power (P).

Electric Power (P) = V.I  Watts

This equation can be used to calculate the power consumption by any electrical device that is connected in a circuit.

In the given question, we need to determine the Current flowing through the circuit(bulb).

  From the equation,

                       P = V.I  Watts

                50.4  = 120 × I

                       I = 50.4/120

                      I = 0.42 Amp

<em>Current flowing through the circuit is 0.42 Amperes.   </em>

If you are 5.00ft and 10.0in tall, what is your height in meters
Stolb23 [73]

The answer that I got was 5'8333..., which is the total for height and in inches, all of this would be 70 inches, or 1.78 meters, or 178 centimeters, or 1780 millimeters, but just go for the height that person is going to be at, 5'833... (this is repeated so just round it up to 5'8 if you want to.)

Hope this helped!

With a force of 5 newtons, Amanda pushes the stack of books to the right. At the same time, Jeremy, her little brother, pushes t
Vaselesa [24]
Its letter C. 5N to the left. Since Jeremy's force in Newtons are higher than Amanda's (in newtons), and since Jeremy's force directs to the left, then the direction of the force will be to the LEFT. Then subtract the higher one to the lower one so that would be: 10N-5N=5N. So it is C. 5N to the left.

A series RC circuit contains a 1,000 ohm resistor and a 0.025 microfarad capacitor. What is the time constant of this circuit?
stiks02 [169]

The RC time constant, also called tau, the time constant (in seconds) of an RC circuit, is equal to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (in farads), i.e.

\tau = RC

Here,

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

Replacing we have that

\tau = (1000)(0.025*10^{6})

\tau = 25*10^{-6}

\tau = 25\mu s

Therefore the time constant of this circuit is \tau = 25\mu s

You are working in a shoe test laboratory measuring the coefficients of friction for running shoes on a variety of surfaces. The
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Since the static frictional force is the maximum force applied just before sliding, our frictional force, F is 300 N.

Since F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = normal force = 400 N (which is the downward force applied against the surface).

So, μ = F/N

= 300 N/400 N

= 3/4

= 0.75

So, the  coefficient of static friction μ = 0.75
