Answer:

R = 0.6 ohms

Explanation:

We have,

Voltage of the circuit is 12 V

Current flowing in the circuit is 20 A

It is required to find the resistance of the circuit. Ohm'slaw gives the relationship between voltage, current and resistance. It is given by :

$V=IR$

R = resistance

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{12}{20}\\\\R=0.6\ \Omega$

so, the resistance of the circuit is 0.6 ohms.

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission

aliina [53]

In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235.
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 $m/ s^{2}$

$F - w = ma \\$

$F = w + ma$

$F = m ( a +g )$

$F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\$

$F = 75 ( 11.5 )$

$F = 862.5 N$

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction. Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

The magnetic field over a certain range is given by B~ = Bx ˆı + By ˆ, where Bx = 2 T and By = 4 T. An electron moves into the

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force exerted in a magnetic field is given as

F = q (v × B)

Where

F is the force entered

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

Given that,

The magnetic field is

B = 2•i + 4•j. T

The velocity of the electron is

v = 2•i + 6•j + 8•k. m/s

Also, the charge of an electron is

q = -1.602 × 10^-19 C.

Then note that,

V×B is the cross product of the speed and the magnetic field

Then,

F = q (V×B)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19( 2•i + 4•j +8•k × 2•i + 4•j)

Note

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

F = -1.602 × 10^-19[(2•i + 4•j +8•k) × (2•i + 4•j)]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19 [2×2•(i×i) + 2×4•(i×j) + 4×2•(j×i) + 4×4•(j×j) + 8×2•(k×i) + 8×4•(k×j)]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19[4•0 + 8•k + 8•-k + 16•0 + 16•j + 32•-i]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19(0 + 8•k - 8•k + 0 + 16•j - 32•i)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19(16•j - 32•i)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19 × ( -32•i + 16•j)

F = 5.126 × 10^-18 •i - 2.563 × 10^-18 •j

Then, the x component of the force is

Fx = 5.126 × 10^-18 N

Also, the y component of the force is

Fy = -2.563 × 10^-18 N
