The heating element in a kettle behaves like a resistor. A particular kettle needs to operate at 230 V, with a power of 1500 W.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

R = 35.27 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 230V

Power = 1500W

To find the resistance, R;

Power = V²/R

Where:

V is the voltage measured in volts.

R is the resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

1500 = 230²/R

Cross-multiplying, we have;

1500R = 52900

R = 52900/1500

R = 35.27 Ohms.

Therefore, the resistance which the heating element needs to have is 35.27 Ohms.

How much would a 15.0 kg object weigh on Neptune?

yan [13]

The gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s²
the gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s²
divide the Neptune and earth gravity we get 1.13
which means object on neptune is 1.13 heavier than earth
yield, weigh of the object on neptune is 1.13×15=17.04kg

Three masses (3 kg, 5 kg, and 7 kg) are located in the xy-plane at the origin, (2.3 m, 0), and (0, 1.5 m), respectively.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a) C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m$

b) $(x_4,y_4)=(-1.917,-1.75)m$

Explanation:

The center of mass "represent the unique point in an object or system which can be used to describe the system's response to external forces and torques"

The center of mass on a two dimensional plane is defined with the following formulas:

$\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i x_i}{M}$

$\bar y =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i y_i}{M}$

Where M represent the sum of all the masses on the system.

And the center of mass C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)$

Part a

$m_1= 3 kg, m_2=5kg,m_3=7kg$ represent the masses.

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(2.3,0),(x_3,y_3)=(0,1.5)$ represent the coordinates for the masses with the units on meters.

So we have everything in order to find the center of mass, if we begin with the x coordinate we have:

$\bar x =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.767m$

$\bar y =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.7m$

C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m$

Part b

For this case we have an additional mass $m_4=6kg$ and we know that the resulting new center of mass it at the origin C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)=(0,0)m$ and we want to find the location for this new particle. Let the coordinates for this new particle given by (a,b)
