Answer: The correct answer is 22.15 ohm.

Explanation:

The expression for the power in terms of resistance and potential is as follows;

P=\frac{V^{2} }{R}

Here, V is the potential, P is the power and R is the resistance.

It is given in the problem that an electric device uses 650 watts of power. The voltage of this device is 120 V.

Calculate the resistance of the electric device by rearranging the above expression.

R=\frac{V^{2} }{P}

Put V= 120 V and P= 650 W.

R=\frac{(120)^{2} }{650}

R=22.15 ohm

Therefore, the value of the resistance is 22.15 ohm.

There are several handy-dandy formulas for electrical power.
Here they are:

--  Power  =  (voltage) x (current)
--  Power  =  (current²) x (resistance)
--  Power  =  (voltage²) x (resistance)

We just have to pick the one that's most convenient.

We know the power and the voltage, and we have to find the resistance.
So we would be smart to use a formula that has power, voltage, and
resistance in it.  The last formula on my list is exactly what we want.

--  Power  =  (voltage²) / (resistance)

     650 w  =  (120 v)² / (resistance)

     (650 w) x (resistance)  =  (120 v)²

           resistance  =  (120 v)² / (650 w)  =  22.2 ohms  .

Alisiya [41]
The work done by the elephant to lift one log is the force multiplied by the height at which the log has been lifted:
W=Fh=250 N \cdot 5 m=1250 J
And so, the total work done to lift the 7 logs is 7 times the work done to lift each log:
W_t = 7 W=7 \cdot 1250 N=8750 J

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

T

beacuse:

Energy can be transferred from one object to another by doing work. ... When work is done, energy is transferred from the agent to the object, which results in a change in the object's motion (more specifically, a change in the object's kinetic energy).

A car is moving at a velocity of 25 km/h and increases velocity to 1200 km/h in 2 min. what is the acceleration?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a = 2.72 [m/s2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation:

v_{f} =v_{o} + a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 1200 [km/h]

Vo = initial velocity = 25 [km/h]

t = time = 2 [min] = 2/60 = 0.0333 [h]

1200 = 25 + (a*0.0333)

a = 35250.35 [km/h2]

if we convert these units to units of meters per second squared

35250.35[\frac{km}{h^{2} }]*(\frac{1}{3600^{2} })*[\frac{h^{2} }{s^{2} } ]*(\frac{1000}{1} )*[\frac{m}{km} ] = 2.72 [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]
