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).

A. Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with
zzz [600]

(a) 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a). 1 MHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b)  0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Frequency is the measure of number of times a same thing will be repeated in a given time interval for a given time. And wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs. So wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. And velocity of light is the proportionality constant.

So frequency of microwave radiation = Speed of light/Wavelength of radiation

Frequency = \frac{3*10^{8} }{3*10^{-2} }

Frequency = 10^{8+2} = 10^{10}=10 GHz

So 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

b). As microwave is a part of light waves, so it will be experiencing the speed of light.

As the speed is 3*10^{8} m/s and the distance between the two mountains is given as 50 km, then time can be calculated as

Time = Distance/Velocity

Time = \frac{50*10^{3} m}{3*10^{8} }=16.67*10^{3-8}=16.67*10^{-5}

So time = 0.167 ms.

Thus, 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!

Answer:

You drop a rock from rest out of a window on the top floor of a building, 30.0 m above the ground. When the rock has fallen 3.00 m, your friend throws a second rock straight down from the same window. You notice that both rocks reach the ground at the exact same time.

A beam of protons is directed in a straight line along the +z direction through a region of space in which there are crossed ele
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B = 7.6 T   direction of + x

Explanation:

For the proton beam to continue in the same direction the electric and magnetic forces must be equal

              F_{m} - F_{e} = 0

              F_{m} = F_{e}

              Fm = q E

             

The electric force is in the direction of the electric field because it is the charge of the positive proton, the electric force goes in the direction of –y, therefore, the magnetic force cancels this force must go in the direction of + y

 The magnetic force is

             F_{m} = q v x B = q v B sin θ

             θ = 90

             B = q E / q v

             B = E / v

             B = 800/105

             B = 7.6 T

To find the direction of the magnetic field we use the right hand rule, the thumb goes in the direction of the proton velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm is the direction of force, for a positive charge.

Thumb goes in the direction of the + z axis

Palm in the direction of +y

Fingers point in the direction of + x

A 30.0-kg girl in a swing is pushed to one side and held at rest by a horizontal force \vec{F} ​F ​⃗ ​​ so that the swing ropes
Virty [35]

Answer:

169.74 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the girl = 30 Kg

angle of the rope with vertical, θ = 30°

equating the vertical component of the tension

vertical component of the tension is equal to the weight of the girl.

 T cos θ = m g

 T cos 30° = 30 x 9.8

 T = 339.48 N

Tension on the two ropes is equal to 339.48 N

Tension in each of the rope = T/2

                                           = 339.48/2 = 169.74 N

Hence, the tension in each of the rope is equal to 169.74 N
