Answer: current I = 0.96 Ampere

Explanation:

Given that the

Resistance R = 60 Ω 

Power = 55 W

Power is the product of current and voltage. That is

P = IV ...... (1)

But voltage V = IR. From ohms law.

Substitutes V in equation (1) power is now

P = I^2R

Substitute the above parameters into the formula to get current I

55 = 60 × I^2

Make I^2 the subject of formula

I^2 = 55/60

I^2 = 0.92

I = sqr(0.92)

I = 0.957 A

Therefore, 0.96 A current must be applied.

To Which of the following represents the relative order of wavelengths from least
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

A) ultraviolet light ---> violet light ----> red light-----> infrared light

Explanation:

We know that the electromagnetic spectrum with the wavelength from least to greatest is (also refer attachment)

  • gamma ray
  • X- rays
  • Ultra-violet
  • Visible            

                  Violet

                  Indigo

                  Blue

                  Green

                  Yellow

                   Orange

                   Red

  • Infra-red
  • Microwave
  • Radio wave

Hence the relative order of wavelengths from least to greatest in the electromagnetic spectrum is

    A) ultraviolet light ---> violet light ----> red light-----> infrared light

John throws a ball with a velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees. What is the horizontal component of the velocity?
umka21 [38]

The horizontal component of the velocity is equal to: D. 15 m/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Velocity = 30 m/s
  • Angle = 60°

To determine the horizontal component of the velocity:

The horizontal component of the velocity represents the influence of velocity  in displacing an object or projectile in the horizontal direction.

Mathematically, the horizontal component of velocity is given by the formula:

V_x = Vcos(\theta)

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

\\\\V_x = 30cos(60)\\\\V_x = 30 \times 0.5

Horizontal component, Vx = 15 m/s

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.
Whitepunk [10]

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

The half-life of nickel-63 is 100 years. If a sample of nickel-63 decays until 6.25% of the original sample remains, how much ti
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

400 years

Explanation:

The equation that describes the decay of a radioactive sample is:

m(t)=m_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}} (1)

where

m(t) is the amount of sample left at time t

m_0 is the initial amount of the sample

t_{1/2} is the half-life, which is the time taken for the sample to halve

In this problem we have:

t_{1/2}=100 y is the half-life of Nickel-63

After a time t, the amount of sample left is 6.25% of the original one, which means that

\frac{m(t)}{m_0}=\frac{6.25}{100}

So we can rewrite the equation (1) and solving for t to find the time:

\frac{6.25}{100}=(\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}}\\\rightarrow \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}=4\\t=4t_{1/2}=4(100)=400 y
