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 light spring obeys Hooke's law. The spring's unstretched length is 34.0 cm. One end of the spring is attached to the top of a

sleet_krkn [62]

When the spring is extended by 44.5 cm - 34.0 cm = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m, it exerts a restoring force with magnitude R such that the net force on the mass is

∑ F = R - mg = 0

where mg = weight of the mass = (7.00 kg) g = 68.6 N.

It follows that R = 68.6 N, and by Hooke's law, the spring constant is k such that

k (0.105 m) = 68.6 N ⇒ k = (68.6 N) / (0.105 m) ≈ 653 N/m

Two dump trucks each have a mass of 1,500 kg. The distance of the dump truck

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

6.00 x 10⁻⁸N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of each dump trucks = 1500kg

Distance between them = 50m

Unknown:

New gravitational force between them = ?

Solution:

From Newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = $\frac{G m1 m2}{r^{2} }$

F is the gravitational force

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

r is the distance

F = $\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 1500 x 1500}{50^{2} }$ = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸N

A bobsled has a momentum of 3000 kg•m/s to the east. After the rider gives it a push, its momentum increases to 5500 kg•m/s to t

Archy [21]

Impulse, denoted as J, is defined by the change in momentum. Since we have our initial and our final, we can solve for the change in momentum.

$J = p_{f} - p_{0} = 5500 - 3000 = 2500

J = 2500 kg*m/s$
