Answer: 55 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of heater (v) = 110-volt

Current drawn by heater (I) = 2.0 amperes

resistance of the heater (r) = ?

Since voltage, current and resistance are involved, apply the formula for ohms law.

Voltage = current x resistance

i.e v = ir

where r = v / i

r = 110 volts / 2.0 A

r = 55 ohms

Thus, the resistance of the heater is 55 ohms

A woman throws a baseball straight up into the air. what is the baseball's acceleration at its highest point?

AleksandrR [38]

After the ball leaves the woman's hand, the only relevant force acting on the ball is the gravity, which produces an acceleration of a=g=9.81 m/s^2 on the baseball, directed downward.
Gravity acts on the ball for the whole duration of the motion, so the acceleration of the ball is $g=9.81 m/s^2$ at every point of the motion, and therefore also when the baseball is at its highest point.

This problem follows up on a discussion from lecture. A wind turbine with an efficiency of 45% for converting wind energy into e

Volgvan

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

10 kW = 10000 W

20mi/h = 20*1.6 km/mi = 32 km/h = 32 * 1000 (m/km) *(1/3600) hr/s = 8.89 m/s

The power yielded by the wind turbine can be calculated using the following formula

$P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^3 A C_p$

where $\rho = 1.2 kg/m^3$ is the air density, v = 8.89 m/s is the wind speed, A is the swept area and $C_p = 0.45$ is the efficiency

$10000 = 0.5 * 1.2 * 8.89^3 * A * 0.45$

$10000 = 190A$

$A = 10000 / 190 = 52.7 m^2$

The swept area is a circle with radius r being the blade length

$\pi r^2 = A = 52.7$

$r^2 = 52.7 / \pi = 16.79$

$r = \sqrt{16.79} = 4.1 m$

a roller coaster moves on a certain section of it's track with an average speed of 13 m/s. how much distance does it cover in 5.

viva [34]

Speed=13m/s
Time=5.8s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=Speed\times Time$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=13(5.8)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=75.4m$
