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 crew on a spacecraft watches a movie that is two hours long. The spacecraft is moving at high speed through space. An Earth-ba
laiz [17]

Answer:

The duration of the movie is longer than 2 hrs.

Explanation:

Given:

The duration of the movie observed by the crew on the spacecraft is 2 hrs.

According to time-dilation formula:

t = \dfrac{t_{0}}{\sqrt{1 - \dfrac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

Here, t is the required time, t_{0} is the original time, v is the velocity of the spacecraft and c is the velocity of light.

Since v, so t_{0} > t.

So the time required will be large.

A car travels at an average speed of 60 km / h for 15 minutes. How far does the car travel in 15 minutes?
salantis [7]

Answer:

15km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Average speed = 60km/hr

Time taken  = 15min

Unknown:

Distance  = ?

Solution:

The distance traveled can de derived using the expression below;

      Distance  = Average speed x time taken

Now let us convert the time to hr;

              60min = 1hr

              15min = \frac{15}{60}   = 0.25hr

Distance  = 60km/hr x 0.25hr  = 15km

A book light has a 1.4 W, 4.8 V bulb that is powered by a transformer connected to a 120 V electric outlet. The secondary coil o
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Turns of the primary coil: 500

Current in the primary coil: Ip= 0.01168A

Explanation:

Considering an ideal transformer I can propose the following equations:

        Vp×Ip=Vs×Is

Vp= primary voltaje

Ip= primary current

Vs= secondary voltaje

Is= secondary current

        Np×Vs=Ns×Vp

Np= turns of primary coil

Ns= turns of secondary coil

From these equations I can clear the number of turns of the primary coil:

Np= (Ns×Vp)/Vp = (20×120V)/4.8V = 500 turns

To determine the current in the secondary coil I use the following equation:

Is= (1.4W)/4.8V = 0.292A

Therefore I can determine the current in the primary coil with the following equation:

Ip= (Vs×Is)/Vp = (4.8V×0.292A)/120V = 0.01168A
