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

sammy [17]

Your average speed was

(100 m) / (13.8 s) = 7.25 m/s .

If you finished 0.001s ahead of him, then at your average speed, that corresponds to

(7.25 m/s) x (0.001 s) = 0.00725 m

That's 7.25 millimeters ... about 0.28 of an inch !

NOTE:. I think this is only valid if your speed was a constant ~7.25 m/s all the way.

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g= $\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg$

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh$

Using g= $9.8m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086$

$V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}$

$V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}$

$V=1.3m/s$

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

$mv+Mv'=(m+M)V$

Using the formula

$0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)$

$0.015v=3.015(1.3)$

$v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3$

$v=261.3 m/s$

Can someone please answer this for me

UNO [17]

Because in my opinion they do bending of a light wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another.
