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).

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh
taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.

At a given instant an object has an angular velocity. It also has an angular acceleration due to torques that are present. There
katen-ka-za [31]

a) Constant

b) Constant

Explanation:

a)

We can answer this question by using the equivalent of Newton's second law of motion of rotational motion, which can be written as:

\tau_{net} = I \alpha (1)

where

\tau_{net} is the net torque acting on the object in rotation

I is the moment of inertia of the object

\alpha is the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity, so it can be written as

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta \omega is the change in angular velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

\tau_{net}=I\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

In this problem, we are told that at a given instant, the object has an angular acceleration due to the presence of torques, so there is a non-zero change in angular velocity.

Then, additional torques are applied, so that the net torque suddenly equal to zero, so:

\tau_{net}=0

From the previous equation, this implies that

\Delta \omega =0

Which means that the angular velocity at that instant does not change anymore.

b)

In this second case instead, all the torques are suddenly removed.

This also means that the net torque becomes zero as well:

\tau_{net}=0

Therefore, this means that

\Delta \omega =0

So also in this case, there is no change in angular velocity: this means that the angular velocity of the object will remain constant.

So cases (a) and (b) are basically the same situation, as the net torque is zero in both cases, so the object acts in the same way.
