Well , its a easy problem

By ohms law,

we have V= IR

Where V is the voltage applied across the wire and R is the resistance and I is the current

=> R = V/I

=> R = 12/0.3 = 40 ohm

A certain field line diagram illustrates the electric field due to three particles that carry charges 5.0 μC, -3.0 μC, and -2.0

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of lines emanate from + 5 micro coulomb is 15 .

They terminates at negative charges that means at - 3 micro coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb.

the electric field lines terminates at - 3 micro Coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb is in the ratio of 3 : 2.

So the lines terminating at - 3 micro coulomb

= $\frac{3}{5}\times 15 = 9$

So the lines terminating at - 2 micro coulomb

= $\frac{2}{5}\times 15 = 6$

So, the number of filed lines terminates at - 2 micro Coulomb are 6.

What force is required to accelerate a 385 kg couch at 0.2 m/s^2 ?

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

It takes 77 N

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law of motion, F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration. Since the mass of the couch is 385 kg and the target acceleration is 0.2 m/s, you simply multiply mass times acceleration (ma) to get the total force, or 77 N.

Why is rock away from ocean ridges older? Is it because if the rocks are away from cracks in the crust, there is no way for any

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

the rocks are away from cracks in the crust

Explanation:

The new crust is pushed away from the Ocean Ridge in both directions as newer crust is formed. This is called sea floor spreading. The crust that makes up the sea floor starts to have time to accumulate a layer of sediments as it gets older and moves away from the Ocean Ridge.
