I think the force of spinning it can only hold for so long and because of gravitys pressure.(i hope i helped) :)

The resistance of a lamp that draws 0.5A of current when it is operated by a 12V battery will be Ω

lisabon 2012 [21]

According to Ohm's Law, the resistance, current and voltage are related as:

V = IR
⇒
R = V/I

V is given to be 12 Volts.
I is given to be 0.5 Ampere

So, resistance will be:

R = 12/0.5 = 24 ohms

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

$m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg$

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

$U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J$

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

$K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T$

Whereas $N_A$ stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

$K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J$

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.

1. A small light bulb is shining light on a basketball (diameter is 23 cm or 9 inches). The light bulb is 3 m from the closest s

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The size (diameter) of the basketball's shadow on the wall is approximately 53.38 cm

Explanation:

The given parameters of the basketball are;

The diameter of the basketball = 23 cm (9 inches)

The distance of the light bulb from the closest side of the basketball = 3 m

The distance from the ball to the wall = 4 m

The distance from the light source to the center of the ball, d = 3 m + 0.23/2 m = 3.115 m

The angle the light ray makes with the edge of the ball, θ = arctan(0.115/3.115)

Therefore, the ratio of the shadow width divided by 2 to the distance from the light from the wall = 0.115/3.115

The distance from the light from the wall = 3 m + 4 m + 0.23 m = 7.23 m

Therefore;

((The width of the shadow)/2)/(The distance from the light from the wall) = 0.115/3.115

∴ ((The width of the shadow)/2)/(7.23 m) = 0.115/3.115

((The width of the shadow)/2) = 7.23 m × 0.115/3.115 = 16629/62300 m ≈ 0.2669 m = 26.69 cm

The width (diameter) of the shadow on the wall = 2 × 16629/62300 m ≈ 0.5338 m = 53.38 cm

The size (diameter) of the basketball's shadow on the wall ≈ 53.38 cm

For a given wave if the frequency doubles the wave length?

pav-90 [236]

For a given wave in a given medium, if the frequency doubles,
the wavelength becomes 50% shorter.

That is, it becomes half as long as it was originally.

How to solve 30(a)<br><br> Give solution asap.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

They will not meet

h-hX=1.2*g*t²

hX=v0*t-(1/2*g*t²)

Explanation:

fall h=1/2*g*t²

elevation time if v0=20 m/s te=v0/g=20 m/s /9.81 m/s²=2.0387s

hmax=v0²/(2*g)=(400 m²/s²)/19.62 m/s²2=20.387 m

free fall

t=2.0387s yields hX=1/2*g*t²=20.387 m

h-hX=200m - 20.387 m=179,613 m.

so, the second body has not enough initianoal speed to reach a meeting point
