Answer:

2.7ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Voltage of the battery = 12V

Current = 4.5A

Unknown:

Resistance of the resistor = ?

Solution:

From Ohm's law, we know that;

V = IR

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

So;

R = $\frac{V}{I}$ = $\frac{12}{4.5}$ = 2.7ohms

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. if a boys mass is 40kg, what is his height in pounds?

sasho [114]

The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this-

$\frac{1}{2.2}$ = $\frac{40}{x}$

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.

What effect does the vertical acceleration have on the horizontal velocity of the projectile?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:
None, if air resistance is ignored.

Explanation:
At any instant, the projectile has vertical and horizontal components of velocity.
Vertical acceleration due to gravity affects the vertical velocity by accelerating the object toward the center of the earth, and by decreasing the upward vertical velocity..
The horizontal component of velocity makes the object travel horizontally as long as the projectile is airborne.
Thsi discussion assumes that air resistance is ignored.

Batteries involve the flow of electricity from one metal to another. What happens to these metals to cause the batteries to, eve

Nataly [62]

The metals will start to rust lol. i think. because this messes up how the metals conduct the flow of the electricity.

A 2.0-kg object moving with a velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 3.0-kg object moving with

Andrej [43]

Answer:

5.4 J.

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the object, m = 2 Kg

initial speed, u = 5 m/s

mass of another object,m' = 3 kg

initial speed of another orbit,u' = 2 m/s

KE lost after collusion = ?

Final velocity of the system

Using conservation of momentum

m u + m'u' = (m + m') V

2 x 5 + 3 x 2 = ( 2 + 3 )V

16 = 5 V

V = 3.2 m/s

Initial KE = $\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m'u'^2$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3 \times 2^2$

= 31 J

Final KE = $\dfrac{1}{2} (m+m')V^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 5 \times 3.2^2 = 25.6 J$

Loss in KE = 31 J - 25.6 J = 5.4 J.

Un movil de masa 12Kg sobre el cual estan actuando varias fuerzas F_1=48N, F_2=60N y F_3=30N Calcular la aceleracion con la cual

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Lamentablemente el problema está incompleto, pues no sabemos la dirección en la que se aplican las fuerzas. Por ello, voy a resolver el problema asumiendo dos casos. (abajo se puede ver una imagen donde se describe cada caso)

1) Todas las fuerzas están en la misma dirección.

Entonces la fuerza neta será la suma de las 3 fuerzas, entonces:

F = 48N + 60N + 30N = 138N

Y por la segunda ley de Newton sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza igual a masa por aceleración.

Entonces la aceleración está dada por:

a = F/m = 138N/12kg = 11.5 m/s^2

2) Segundo caso, suponemos que F1 es opuesta a F2 y F3

En este caso, la fuerza neta será:

F = F2 + F3 - F1 = 60N + 30N - 48N = 42N

En este caso, la aceleración será:

a = 42N/12kg = 3.5 m/s^2
