The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

Explanation:

In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

Resistance (R) = V/ I

      = 120/0.5

      = 240Ω (ohms)

Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1.7\cdot 10^3 N

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the product between the force and the time interval of the collision is equal to the change in momentum:

F \Delta t = m \Delta v

where

F is the force

\Delta t is the time interval

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

Here we have

m = 84 kg

\Delta t = 1.2 s

\Delta v = 24 m/s

So we can solve the equation to find the force:

F= \frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t }=\frac{(84 kg)(24 m/s)}{1.2 s}=1680 N \sim 1.7\cdot 10^3 N

The current estimate for the age of earth of 4.57 ga comes from _____.
Whitepunk [10]
The estimation of the age of the Earth comes from scientists who studied the rock formation under the Earth's crust. They believe that during the Big Bang, the Earth, together with the other celestial bodies in the universe, were formed. Under the Earth's soil contain radioactive materials that have known decay rates. Using these rate, they undergo tests like rock dating to find the time of its existence.

Which has more gravitaatoinal potental energy: a bird on the ground or the same bird in the tree? why?
julsineya [31]
The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0,  therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.

Choose the statement that is a misconception about a system in chemical equilibrium.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

There are equal parts reactants and products.

Explanation:

When a system is in a chemical equilibrium, the rate at which the forward reaction occur is the same as the rate at which the reverse reaction occurs. This system is said to undergo a reversible reaction. The concentration of the reactants and products do not change, i.e are constant.

In a chemical equilibrium, the reaction continues in both directions but at the same rate.

Therefore the statement that is a misconception about a system in chemical equilibrium is 'There are equal parts reactants and products'.
