Answer:

a) 24.4 Ω

b) 4.92 A

c) 495.9 W

d)

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

Explanation:

b)

The formula for power is:

P = IV

where,

P = Power of heater = 590 W

V = Voltage it takes = 120 V

I = Current Drawn = ?

Therefore,

590 W = (I)(120 V)

I = 590 W/120 V

<u>I = 4.92 A</u>

<u></u>

a)

From Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

Therefore,

R = 120 V/4.92 A

<u>R = 24.4 Ω</u>

<u></u>

c)

For constant resistance and 110 V the power becomes:

P = V²/R

Therefore,

P = (110 V)²/24.4 Ω

<u>P = 495.9 W</u>

<u></u>

d)

If the resistance decreases, it will increase the current according to Ohm's Law. As a result of increase in current the power shall increase according to formula (P = VI). Therefore, correct option is:

<u>c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.</u>

Normal body temperature. the average normal body temperature measured in the mouth is 310 k . what would celsius and fahrenheit
faltersainse [42]
The question is simply asking us to convert one unit, in this case temperature, to another unit. To do this, we need conversion factors to multiply, divide or relate to the original measurement. We do as follows:

Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15
310 - 273.15 = 36.85 degrees celsius

Fahrenheit = <span> (°</span>C<span> × </span>9<span>/5) + 32
</span> (36.85<span> × </span>9<span>/5) + 32 = 98.33 degrees fahrenheit
</span>
Hope this helps.

What is pitch related to in terms of sound? Does it affect the speed? If so, how?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Pitch is the impression the listener gets of the <em>frequency</em> of the sound.

The speed of the sound is <em>not</em> related to its pitch/frequency.  

If the speed and frequency were related, that would be a real problem.  Bands, orchestras, and choirs could not exist !  All the instruments in the orchestra could play a note together, at the same time.  But then the higher instruments ... the flute, trumpet, violins, high guitar strings and high piano keys ... would travel to you fast, and the lower instruments ... the trombone, tuba, double bass, bass drum, low guitar strings and the low piano keys ... would travel to you slow.  They all played the note at the same time, but by the time you heard it, it would be all smeared out ... every instrument arriving at your ear at a different time !

How many electrons must be remowel from an electricaly Nurutral Silvor Coin to five it a charge of 3.2 NC ?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

 #_electrons = 2 10¹⁰ electrons

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use a direct rule of three proportions rule. If an electron has a charge of 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C how many electrons have a charge of 3.2 10⁻⁹ C

          #_electrons = 3.2 10⁻⁹ ( \frac{1}{1.6 \ 10^{-19}})

          #_electrons = 2 10¹⁰ electrons

When a positively charged conductor touches a neutral conductor, the neutral conductor will:
frutty [35]

Answer:

Lose electrons

Explanation:

When a positively charged conductor touches a neutral conductor, the neutral conductor will lose electrons. Only electrons can move from one conductor to another, so if the neutral conductor ended up with a positive charge it means it lost electrons. The conductor touching and the neutral conductor both end up being charged positively.
