Answer:

240 ohms

Explanation:

From Ohms law we deduce that V=IR and making R the subject of the formula then R=V/I where R is resistance, I is current and V is coltage across. Substituting 120 V for V and 0.5 A for A then

R=120/0.5=240 Ohms

Alternatively, resistance is equal to voltage squared divided by watts hence \frac {120^{2}}{60}=240

An inclined plane is used to lift a box into a moving truck. The ramp is 6m long and 1.5m
ElenaW [278]

Given :

An inclined plane is used to lift a box into a moving truck. The ramp is 6 m long and 1.5 m.

To Find :

The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane.

Solution :

Mechanical advantage, M.A of an inclined plane is given by :

M.A = \dfrac{\text{Length of slope}}{\text{Height of plane}}

Putting given values in above equation, we get :

M.A = \dfrac{6 \ m}{1.5 \ m}\\\\M.A = 4

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is 4.

What is the gravity of sombrero galaxy compared to earth?
Aleksandr [31]
the Sombrero galaxy, is one of the largest mosaics ever assembled from Hubble observations. The hallmark of the nearly edge-on galaxy is a brilliant, white, bulbous core encircled by thick dust lanes comprising the spiral structure of the galaxy. This dust lane is the site of star formation in the galaxy. The center of M104 is thought to be home to a massive black hole. I hope this helped
