How many 176 ohm resistors are connected in series to get a current of 5 a on 220 v battey

Physics

Phantasy [73]3 years ago
4 0
Total resistance = voltage / current = 220 / 5 = 44 ohms .

Even one 176-ohm resistor is too much.  The current through it is 1.25 A,
and more than one of them in series reduces the current even further.

Connecting them in <em><u>parallel</u></em>, however . . .

Four resistors of 176-ohms each, in <u>parallel</u>, have a net effective resistance
of 176/4 = 44 ohms ... exactly what you need to do the job.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Her speed is 9.8 meter per second

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:

mg=ma

Solving for a:

a=g

Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:

Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x (2)

With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:

Vf^{2}=2a\varDelta x

Solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{2g\varDelta x}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(4.9)}

Vf=9.8\frac{m}{s}

Calculate the force needed to accelerate a car of a mass 1000 kg by 3 m/s2
beks73 [17]

Answer:

<h2>3000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1000 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>3000 N</h3>
