Answer:

I=0.1 R=2500

Explanation:

Resistance

$R=\frac{V^{2} x}{P} \\=\frac{250^{2} }{25} \\=2500$

Current

$I=\frac{250}{2500} \\=0.1$

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of 6.65×106 m/???? away from the Earth emits light with a wavelength of 5.13×10−

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual wavelength of the hydrogen atom, $\lambda_a=5.13\times 10^{-7}\ m$

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of, $v=6.65\times 10^6\ m/s$

We need to find the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom. The speed of galaxy is given by :

$v=c\times \dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_a}{\lambda_a}$

$\lambda_o$ is the observed wavelength

$\lambda_o=\dfrac{v\lambda_a}{c}+\lambda_a\\\\\lambda_o=\dfrac{6.65\times 10^6\times 5.13\times 10^{-7}}{3\times 10^8}+5.13\times 10^{-7}\\\\\lambda_o=5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$

So, the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The three forces acting on a hot-air balloon that is moving vertically are its weight, the force due to air resistance and the u

irinina [24]

Explanation :

The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:

Weight, (W)

Force due to air resistance, (F)

Upthrust force, (U)

Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.

In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.

so, $a=0$

and $F=ma=0$

so, $W = F + U$ ....................(1)

when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so

$(W-R) + F = U$ ..........(2)

solving equation (1) and (2)

$(W-R)+F=W-F$

$R=2F$

2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where, V is the net potential difference in the circuit, I is the current in the circuit and R is the net resistance of the circuit.

In this case, V = 240 volts, I = 15 amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16 ohms
