Answer:

Electric current, I = 4.08 A

Explanation:

We have,

Power of vacuum cleaner is 500 W

Resistance of vacuum cleaner is 30 ohms

It is required to find the current flowing through the vacuum cleaner. It can be calculated using the definition of power delivered. Its formula is given by :

$P=I^2R$

I is electric current

$I=\sqrt{\dfrac{P}{R}} \\\\I=\sqrt{\dfrac{500}{30}} \\\\I=4.08\ A$

So, the electric current flowing through the vacuum cleaner is 4.08 A.

Both gamma rays and x-rays are used to see inside the body. True or False

lozanna [386]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Gamma rays and X-rays are made of packets of energy (photons) without mass or charge, with high penetrating power such that they can pass through the human body and impinge on a photographic plate creating an image of the interior of the human body. They electromagnetic radiation of high energy and high frequency that emanate from some natural sources such as cosmic sun rays and radon gas.

Gamma rays and X-rays can be man made by use of man made electronic devices and radioactive elements

Gamma rays and X-rays find use in airport security scanning and imaging services for medical testing.

A ball is kicked at 30.0 m/s at an angle of 20.0°. Beneath the tilted columns calculate the vertical and horizontal components.

RSB [31]

The velocities at time t are

• Horizontal:

v = (30.0 m/s) cos(20.0º)

• Vertical:

v = (30.0 m/s) sin(20.0º) - g t

(where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity)
