Answer: The current of value 10 ampere runs through the vacuum.

Explanation;

Power of the water heater = 1,200 watts

Voltage applied to the water heater = 120 V

Duration of the use of water heater = 1.5 seconds

$Current=\frac{Power}{Voltage}=\frac{1,200 W}{120 V}=10 ampere$

The current of value 10 ampere runs through the vacuum.

What quantities are related by Ohm's law? Check all that apply. voltage conductivity current resistance insulation

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explanation:

A law which states that electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is called Ohm's law.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

where,

I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

This means that the quantities related by Ohm's law include current, voltage and resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

A woman with a mass of 52.0 kg is standing on the rim of a large disk that is rotating at an angular velocity of 0.470 rev/s abo

Charra [1.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the woman, m₁ = 52 kg

Angular velocity, $\omega=0.47\ rev/s=2.95\ rad/s$

Mass of disk, m₂ = 118 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 3.9 m

The moment of inertia of woman which is standing at the rim of a large disk is :

$I={m_1r^2}$

$I={52\times 3.9^2}$

I₁ = 790.92 kg-m²

The moment of inertia of of the disk about an axis through its center is given by :

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{2}$

$I_2=\dfrac{118\times (3.9)^2}{2}$

I₂ =897.39 kg-m²

Total moment of inertia of the system is given by :

$I=I_1+I_2$

$I=790.92+897.39$

I = 1688.31 kg-m²

The angular momentum of the system is :

$L=I\times \omega$

$L=1688.31 \times 2.95$

$L=4980.5\ kg-m^2/s$

So, the total angular momentum of the system is 4980.5 kg-m²/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the work against gravity required to build the right circular cone of height 4 m and base of radius 1.2 m out of a lig

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Work done = 35467.278 J

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the cone = 4m

radius (r) of the cone = 1.2m

Density of the cone = 600kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Now,

The total mass of the cone (m) = Density of the cone × volume of the cone

Volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

thus,

volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi 1.2^2\times 4$ = 6.03 m³

therefore, the mass of the cone = 600 Kg/m³ × 6.03 m³ = 3619.11 kg

The center of mass for the cone lies at the $\frac{1}{4}$ times the total height

thus,

center of mass lies at, h' = $\frac{1}{4}\times4=1m$

Now, the work gone (W) against gravity is given as:

W = mgh'

W = 3619.11kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1 = 35467.278 J
