To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

R_{eq}= \frac{V}{I}

Here,

V = Voltage

I = Current

While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,

P=VI \rightarrow I = \frac{P}{V}

I =0.608 A

Applying Ohm's law

R_{eq} = \frac{120V}{0.608A}

R_{eq} = 197.4\Omega

Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is 197.4\Omega

malfutka [58]

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

focal length, f = radius of curvature/2 = 4/2

f = 2

Recall,

A ball is shot at an angle of 45 degrees into the air with initial velocity of 46 ft/sec. Assuming no air resistance, how high d
mestny [16]

Answer:

5.02 m

Explanation:

Applying the formula of maximum height of a projectile,

H = U²sin²Ф/2g...................... Equation 1

Where H = maximum height, U = initial velocity, Ф = angle, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: U = 46 ft/sec = 14.021 m/s, Ф = 45°

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

H = (14.021)²sin²45/(2×9.8)

H = 196.5884×0.5/19.6

H = 5.02 m.

Hence the ball goes 5.02 m high

Two loudspeakers, A and B, are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. The frequency of the waves emitt
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

7 m .

Explanation:

For destructive interference

Path difference = odd multiple of λ /2

Wave length of sound from each of  A and B.

= speed / frequency

λ = 334 / 172 = 2 m

λ/2 = 1 m

If I am  1 m away from B , the path difference will be

8 - 1 = 7 m  which is  odd multiple of 1 or λ /2

So path difference becomes odd multiple of  λ /2.

This is the condition of destructive interference.

So one meter is the closest distance which I can remain at so that i can hear destructive interference.
