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

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>

All waves change speed when they enter a new medium, but they don't always bend. When does bending occur?
Anastaziya [24]
Bending occurs when one side of the wave enters the new medium before the other side of the wave. ... The bending occurs because the two sides of the wave are traveling at different speeds.

What is the mass, in grams, of a pure iron cube that has a volume of 3.70cm cubed?
Arlecino [84]
To determine the amount in grams of the iron, we need data on the density of iron. From literature, it has a value of <span>p=7.9 g/cm3. We simply multiply the volume to the density. We do as follows:

mass = 3.70 (7.9) = 29.23 g Fe

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
