Answer:

Hydrogen used in fuel cells has the energy to weight ratio ten times greater than lithium-ion batteries. Consequently, it offers much greater range while being lighter and occupying smaller volumes. It can also be recharged in a few minutes, similarly to gasoline vehicles.

a flashlight bulb with a potential difference of 6.0 v across it has a resistance of 8.0 how much current is the bulb filament
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

<em>I = 0.75 Amp</em>

Explanation:

<u>Ohm's Law</u>

Ohm's law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points. The constant of proportionality is called the Resistance (R) of the conductor.

The formula can be expressed as:

V = I.R

The intensity of the current through a resistor can be calculated by solving the equation for I:

\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}

A flashlight bulb is an example of a resistor with the specific task to emit light when it's hot enough.

The potential difference (or voltage) is V=6 V and the resistance is R=8Ω, thus the current is:

\displaystyle I=\frac{6~V}{8~\Omega}

I = 0.75 Amp

A tennis player hits a ball at an angle of 50 degrees above horizontal so that it has an acceleration of 12 m/s2. What is the ho
harkovskaia [24]
So we want to know what is the magnitude of the horizontal component of acceleration ah if we know that the overall acceleration a=12 m/s^2 and the angle of overall acceleration and the horizontal acceleration is α=50°. We know that ah=a*cosα. So now it isn't hard to get the horizontal component: ah=12*cos50=12*0.64=7.71 m/s^2. So the correct answer is ah=7.71 m/s^2.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

On Earth, flowing of liquid metal in the outer core of the planet generates electric currents. The rotation of Earth on its axis causes these electric currents to form a magnetic field which extends around the planet.
