25 ohm resistor

E = I * R General formula

E = 60 volts Givens
R = 25 ohms

60 = I * 25 Divide by 25

60/25 = I*25/25

2.4 = I

P = E * I

E = 60 volts

I = 2.4 amps

P = 60*2.4

P = 144 watts. Answer: 25 ohm Resistor

==============

15 Ohm Resistor

E = I R

E = 60 volts
R = 15 ohms

I = ??

60 = I * 15 Substitute

60/15= I * 15/15 Divide by 15

I = 4

P = E * I

E = 60
I = 4

P = 60 * 4

P = 240 Watts. Answer: 15 ohm resistor

A container with volume 1.83 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.246 g of N2. Assume that the pressure of the gas

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The pressure is $P = 1652 \ Pa$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of the container is $V = 1.83 \ L = 1.83 *10^{-3 } \ m^3$

The mass of $N_2$ is $m_n = 0.246 \ g = 0.246 *10^{-3} \ kg$

The root-mean-square velocity is $v = 192 \ m/s$

The root -mean square velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{3 RT}{M_n } }$

Now the ideal gas law is mathematically represented as

$PV = nRT$

=> $RT = \frac{PV}{n }$

Where n is the number of moles which is mathematically represented as

$n = \frac{ m_n }{M }$

Where M is the molar mass of $N_2$

$RT = \frac{PVM_n }{m _n }$

=> $v = \sqrt{ \frac{3 \frac{P* V * M_n }{m_n } }{M_n } }$

=> $v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 3 * P* V }{m_n } } }$

=> $P = \frac{v^2 * m_n}{3 * V }$

substituting values

=> $P = \frac{( 192)^2 * 0.246 *10^{-3}}{3 * 1.83 *10^{-3} }$

=> $P = 1652 \ Pa$

What has more gravity-Earth's moon or the Sun?Why?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

An image of a car with height of 14 cm occurred in the mirror which is located at a T-

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The distance of car form the mirror is 330 cm.

Explanation:

height of object, h = 140 cm

height of image, h' = 14 cm

radius of curvature, R = 60 cm

focal length, f = R/2 = + 30 cm

Let the distance of image is v and the distance of object is u.

$\frac{h'}{h}\frac{v}{u}\\\\\frac{14}{140} =\frac{v}{u}\\\\v =\frac{u}{10}$

Use the formula of focal length

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\\frac{1}{30}=\frac{10}{u}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\\frac{1}{30}=\frac{11}{u}\\\\u = 330 cm$
