Akimi4 [234]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

R = 60 Ω

Explanation:

given,

Potential of the certain device, V = 120 V

current rating of the circuit, I = 20 A

resistance of the device, R = ?

Using Ohm's Law

V = I R

R = \dfrac{V}{I}  

R = \dfrac{120}{20}  

R = 60 Ω

hence, the resistance of the device is equal to 60 Ω

A child sleds down a hill with an acceleration of 2.94 m/s2. If her initial speed is 0.0 m/s and her final speed is 17.5 m/s, ho
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The child will take 5.952 seconds to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom.

Explanation:

Given that the child accelerates uniformly and that both initial (v_{o}) and final speeds (v_{f}), measured in meters per second, and acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, are known, we proceed to use the following kinematic equation to determine the time taken to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom (t), measured in seconds, is:

t = \frac{v_{f}-v_{o}}{a} (1)

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 17.5\,\frac{m}{s} and a = 2.94\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the time taken is:

t = \frac{17.5\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{2.94\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

t = 5.952\,s

The child will take 5.952 seconds to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom.

You move a 25 N object 5 meters. If it takes 8 s how much power did you do?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

15.625 watts

Explanation:

Recall that power is defined as the worked performed per unit of time:

Power = Work / time

The work done is Force * distance, so in our case the work is:

Work = 25 M * 5 m = 125 J

Then the power will be:

Power = 125 J / 8 sec = 15.625 watts

this is a 3 part questionOn vacation, your 1400-kg car pulls a 560-kg trailer away from a stoplight with an acceleration of 1.85
mamaluj [8]

ANSWER:

(a) 1036 N

(b) -1036 N

(c) 2590 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Mc = 1400 kg

Mt = 560 kg

a = 1.85 m/s^2

(a)

Force by car on trailer:

\begin{gathered} F_c=m\cdot a \\ F_c=560\cdot1.85 \\ F_c=1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}

(b)

\begin{gathered} F_t=-F_c \\ F_t=-1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}

(c)

\begin{gathered} F_n=1400\cdot1.85 \\ F_n=2590\text{ N} \end{gathered}

The winning time for a 500.0 mile circular race track was 3 hours and
lyudmila [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Distance traveled in a circular track is 500 miles

The winning time was 3 hours and  13 minutes. It means time is 3.217 hours.

The driver's average speed is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Its formula can be written as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.217\ h}\\\\v=155.42\ mph

At the end of the race, the driver reaches the point form where he has started. It means the displacement of the driver is equal to 0. Hence, driver's average velocity is equal to 0.

scZoUnD [109]
<span>Generally speaking, the level of molecular motion is highest in gases, where molecules move around freely in space, bouncing off of each other, and lowest in solids, where molecules are bound together in a rigid structure. As such, the answer would be A; "the molecules in air move more than the molecules in wood".</span>
