<u>Resistance = (voltage) / (current)</u>

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5A) = <em>240 ohms</em>

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by

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

ρ = resistivity of the material

L= length of the object

A= area of cross section

clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

thermal resistance R_th is given by

$R_{th} = \frac{L}{KA}$

L= length of the object

A= area of cross section

K = Conductivity of the material

thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

If the mass of a 1.8 g paperclip was able to be completely converted to energy, how much energy would you obtain?

Anton [14]

Answer:

$E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the paperclip, m = 1.8 g = 0.0018 kg

We need to find the energy obtained. The relation between mass and energy is given by :

$E=mc^2$

Where

c is the speed of light

So,

$E=0.0018\times (3\times 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J$

So, the energy obtained is $1.62\times 10^{14}\ J$ .

If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for a distance of 15 m, and then maintains the velocity he has at that point for the re

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The time for the entire race is 11.39 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 15 m

Remainder distance = 100 m

Suppose A sprinter begins a race with an acceleration of 3.4 m/s².

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put the value in the equation

$15=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times3.4\times t^2$

$t^2=\dfrac{30}{3.4}$

$t=2.97\ sec$

We need to calculate the final velocity of sprinter

Using equation of motion again

$v=u+at$

Put the value into the formula

$v=0+3.4\times2.97$

$v=10.09\ m/s$

We need to calculate the distance covers by sprinter

$d=100-15=85\ m$

The sprinter need to covers only 85 m.

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t'=\dfrac{85}{10.09}$

$t'=8.42\ sec$

We need to calculate the time for the entire race

$t''=t+t'$

Put the value into the formula

$t''=2.97+8.42$

$t''=11.39\ sec$

Hence, The time for the entire race is 11.39 sec.
