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>

Lee pushes horizontally with a force of 75 n on a 36 kg mass for 10 m across a floor. calculate the amount of work lee did. answ
svlad2 [7]
To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity ofthe ball the instant befo
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s

This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass, fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.

How have moral and ethical issues influenced science
umka2103 [35]
Often times, moral and ethical issues could hindrance the development of science.
For example, the cloning technology has been hindranced by these type of issues since the beginning of its creation.
The moral and ethical aspect of society somehow oppose the technology because they feel that the sicentists are 'playing God' and doing something that humans are not suppose to be doing, even though there might be overwhelming benefits from the technology.
