A table lamp draws a current of 200 mA when it is connected to a 120-V source. What is the resistance of the table lamp?

Nitella [24]3 years ago

Answer: 600Ω

Explanation:

Voltage of source (V) = 120 Volts

Current drawn by table lamp (I) = 200mA

(Since 1 mA = 1 x 10^-3A

200mA = 200 x 10^-3A)

Resistance of table lamp (R)= ?

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

i.e V = I x R

120V = 200 x 10^-3A x R

R = 120V / 200 x 10^-3A

R = 600Ω (Ω is the symbol for ohms)

Thus, the resistance of the table lamp is 600Ω

What happens to the saturation for when adding salt to water at room temperature

Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions
Table salt (NaCl) readily dissolves in water. Suppose that you have a beaker of water to which you add some salt, stirring until it dissolves. So you add more and that dissolves. You keep adding more and more salt, eventually reaching a point that no more of the salt will dissolve no matter how long or how vigorously you stir it. Why? On the molecular level, we know that action of the water causes the individual ions to break apart from the salt crystal and enter the solution, where they remain hydrated by water molecules. What also happens is that some of the dissolved ions collide back again with the crystal and remain there. Recrystallization is the process of dissolved solute returning to the solid state. At some point the rate at which the solid salt is dissolving becomes equal to the rate at which the dissolved solute is recrystallizing. When that point is reached, the total amount of dissolved salt remains unchanged. Solution equilibrium is the physical state described by the opposing processes of dissolution and recrystallization occurring at the same rate.
While this shows the change of state back and forth between solid and aqueous solution, the preferred equation also shows the dissociation that occurs as an ionic solid dissolves.



When the solution equilibrium point is reached and no more solute will dissolve, the solution is said to be saturated. A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved. At 20°C, the maximum amount of NaCl that will dissolve in 100. g of water is 36.0 g. If any more NaCl is added past that point, it will not dissolve because the solution is saturated. What if more water is added to the solution instead? Now more NaCl would be capable of dissolving in the additional solvent. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved.

When 30.0 g of NaCl is added to 100 ml of water, it all dissolves, forming an unsaturated solution. When 40.0 g is added, 36.0 g dissolves and 4.0 g remains undissolved, forming a saturated solution.

How can you tell if a solution is saturated or unsaturated? If more solute is added and it does not dissolve, then the original solution was saturated. If the added solute dissolves, then the original solution was unsaturated. A solution that has been allowed to reach equilibrium but which has extra undissolved solute at the bottom of the container must be saturated.

A uniform meter stick is hung at its center from a thin wire. It is twisted and oscillates with a period of 5 s. The meter stick
rewona [7]

Answer:

The new time period is  T_2 =  3.8 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The period of oscillation is  T =  5 \ s

   The  new  length is  l_2  =  0.76  \ m

Let assume the original length was l_1 = 1 m

Generally the time period is mathematically represented as

         T  =  2 \pi   \sqrt{ \frac{ I }{ mgh } }

Now  I is the moment of inertia of the stick which is mathematically represented as

           I  =  \frac{m * l^2 }{12 }

So

        T  =  2 \pi   \sqrt{ \frac{  m * l^2 }{12 *   mgh } }

Looking at the above equation we see that

        T  \ \ \  \alpha  \ \ \  l

=>    \frac{ T_2 }{T_1}  =  \frac{l_2}{l_1}

=>    \frac{ T_2}{5} =  \frac{0.76}{1}

=>     T_2 =  3.8 \  s

A simple pendulum is made from a 0.54-m-long string and a small ball attached to its free end. The ball is pulled to one side th
Serga [27]

Answer:

0.37sec

Explanation:

Period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L is:

T = 2 π × √ (L /g)

L=length of string 0.54m

g=acceleration due to gravity

T-period

T = 2 x 3.14 x √[0.54/9.8]

T = 1.47sec

An oscillating pendulum, or anything else in nature that involves "simple harmonic" (sinusoidal) motion, spends 1/4 of its period going from zero speed to maximum speed, and another 1/4 going from maximum speed to zero speed again, etc. After four quarter-periods it is back where it started.

The ball will first have V(max) at T/4,

=>V(max) = 1.47/4 = 0.37 sec
