Current is measured as charge per unit time. To get change, simply multiply the current with time:

$6A*2.5mins = 6A*(2.5*60)seconds = 900Coulombs$

Answer: 900 C

Explanation:

The intensity of current is defined as:

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

where

Q is the amount of charge that passes through a given point in the circuit

t is the time taken

In this problem, we know the current in the circuit, I=6.0 A, and we know the time taken, which is

$t=2.5 min \cdot 60 s/min = 150 s$

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation above to calculate the charge delivered to the circuit:

$Q=It=(6.0 A)(150 s)=900 C$

What is the special feature of the upper mantle?

mote1985 [20]

The special feature of the upper mantle is the asthenosphere.It is located just below the lithosphere and is made up of rocks that is fluid and can move.The fluidity of these rocks powered the movement of the tectonic plates on the earths crust.Circular convection cycles in the hot,fluid upper mantle rock move the plates over the surface of the earth.

A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 3.57 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of

igomit [66]

Answer:t=0.81 s

Explanation:

Given

Penguin slides down with constant velocity of 3.57 m/s

as the Penguin Slides with constant velocity therefore $F_{net}$ is zero on Penguin

$F_{net}=mg\sin \theta -f_r$

$f_r=$ friction Force

$f_r=\mu mg$

$\mu =$ coefficient of Kinetic friction

$mg\sin \theta =\mu mg$

$\tan \theta =\mu$

$\mu =\tan 9.85=0.45$

after reaching on floor final velocity of penguin will be zero after time t

thus

$v=u+at$

here $a=\mu g$

$a=0.45\times 9.8=4.41$ (deceleration)

$0=3.57-4.41\times t$

$t=\frac{3.57}{4.41}=0.809$

$t=0.81 s$

The current in a hair dryer measures 15 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?

ZanzabumX [31]

We have that there is a formula connecting these three. V=I*R where V is voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Substituting, we get that V=210 Volta, which is the unit of measurement for voltage. You can think of the relationship in the following way : The energy of the field is equal to the flow of the field times the resistance that it meets.

A 0.25-kg ball sits on the roof of a building that is 10 meters tall. Find the GPE. (Gravity = 9.8 on Earth)

Tasya [4]

Gravitational potential energy = mgh or mass times acceleration due to gravity times the height

Here the mass is 0.25kg, the height is 10m, and gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so...

GPE = (0.25)(10)(9.8)

GPE = 24.5 J

A battery charger is connected to a dead battery and delivers a current of 3.5 a for 4 hours, keeping the voltage across the bat

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The power delivered is equal to the product between the voltage V and the current I:
$P=VI=(16 V)(3.5 A)=56 W$

This power is delivered for a total time of $t=4h=4 \cdot 3600 s = 14400 s$ , so the total energy delivered to the battery is
$E=Pt = (56 W)(14400 s)=806400 J=806.4 kJ$
