Here is the highly detailed, arcane, complex, technical form of Ohm's Law that is needed in order to answer this question ===> V = I · R .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

Voltage = (2 Ampere) x (8 Ω)

<em>Voltage = 16 volts</em>

61. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Part a)

$percentage = 21.3$ %

Part b)

$percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}$ %

Explanation:

As we know that total power used in the room is given as

$P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + P_4$

here we have

$P_1 = (110)(3) = 330 W$

$P_2 = 100 W$

$P_3 = 60 W$

$P_4 = 3 W$

$P = 330 + 100 + 60 + 3$

$P = 493 W$

Part a)

Since power supply is at 110 Volt so the current obtained from this supply is given as

$110\times i = 493$

$i = 4.48 A$

now resistance of transmission line

$R = \frac{\rho L}{A}$

$R = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-8})(10\times 10^3)}{\pi(4.126\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$R = 5.23 \ohm$

now power loss in line is given as

$P = i^2 R$

$P = (4.48)^2(5.23)$

$P = 105 W$

Now percentage loss is given as

$percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100$

$percentage = \frac{105}{493} \times 100$

$percentage = 21.3$ %

Part b)

now same power must have been supplied from the supply station at 110 kV, so we have

$110 \times 10^3 (i ) = 493$

$i = 4.48\times 10^{-3} A$

now power loss in line is given as

$P = i^2 R$

$P = (4.48 \times 10^{-3})^2(5.23)$

$P = 1.05 \times 10^{-4} W$

Now percentage loss is given as

$percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100$

$percentage = \frac{1.05 \times 10^{-4}}{493} \times 100$

$percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}$ %

Two cars collide inelastically and stick together after the collision. Before the collision, the magnitudes of their momenta are

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a) P1+P2

Explanation:

The magnitude of their combined momentum is just the addition of each momentum, because in this case of inelastic collision, the kinetic energy of the two cars are both converted to some form of energy because the velocity of both cars becomes zero, i.e., V=0, making P = mv = 0, this means the magnitude of P1 + P2 = 0.

A is a non-contact breaking of the basketball rules <br>

ElenaW [278]

A foul occurs when a player or coach breaks a rule covering either contact with an opposing player of unsportsmanlike action. Basketball is a so-called non-contact sport but basketball rules recognize that is not really possible to have 10 players running around a small area without making some contact.

An isotope of Uranium, Z = 92 and A = 235, decays by emitting an alpha particle. Calculate the number of neutrons in the nucleus

stepan [7]

Answer:

141

Explanation:

The atomic number (Z) corresponds to the number of protons:

Z = p

while the mass number (A) corresponds to the number of protons+neutrons:

A = p + n

So the number of neutrons in a nucleus is equal to the difference between mass number and atomic number:

n = A - Z

For the initial nucleus of Uranium, Z = 92 and A = 235, so the initial number of neutrons is

n = 235 - 92 = 143

An alpha particle carries 2 protons and 2 neutrons: so, when the isotope of Uranium emits an alpha particle, it loses 2 neutrons. Therefore, the number of neutrons after the decay will be

n = 143 - 2 = 141
