Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5A) = 240 ohms

Answer:

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds

Explanation:

Free Fall

The penny is dropped from a height of y=200 m. The equation of the height on a free-fall motion is given by:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where $g=9.8\ m/s^2$ , and t is the time.

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Using the value y=200:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*200}{9.8}}$

t=6.39 sec

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds

What's the voltage drop running through the parallel portion of the circuit?

Leni [432]

R 3/4 = (R3 * R4) / (R3 + R 4) = ( 9 * 18 ) /(9 + 18 ) = 162 / 27 = 6 Ohms
R e = R 1 + R 2 + R 3/4 + R 5 = 3 + 6 + 6 + 15 = 30 Ohms
I = U / Re = 90 V / 30 Ohms = 3 A
Finally for the voltage U 3/4 ( the parallel portion of the circuit ):
U 3/4 = 6 Ohms * 3 A = 18 V
Answer: 18 V

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Convection and Radiation mechanisms carry most of the heat

Explanation:

This is because Convection proceeds strongy as heated air rises from the hot element while Radiation is also strong, although the material of the cooking pots will how effective it is.
