A 150-W lamp is placed into a 120-V ac outlet. What is the peak current?

devlian [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula

W = I * E

Givens

W = 150

E = 120

I = ?

Solution

150 = I * 120 Divide by 120

150/120 = I

5/4 = I

I = 1.25

Note: This is an edited note. You have to assume that 120 is the RMS voltage in order to go any further. That means that the peak voltage is √2 times the size of 120. The current has the same note applied to it. If the voltage is its rms value, then the current must (assuming the properties of the bulb do not change)

On the other hand, if the voltage is the peak value at 120 then 1.25 will be correct.

However I would go with the other answerer's post and multiply both values by √2

Two equipotential surfaces surround a +3.10 x 10-8-c point charge. how far is the 290-v surface from the 41.0-v surface?

MrMuchimi

T<span>he equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r

where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance.
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect,

Point 1:
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r

Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.

A motorcycle that is slowing down uniformly. The motorcycle covers 1 ????m=1000 m in 80 sec⁡. The motorcycle then covers the nex

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Part a)

acceleration = -0.042 m/s/s

Part b)

initial speed = 14.17 m/s

final speed = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let the initial velocity of the motorcycle is

$v_i = v_o$

now at the end of 80 s let the speed is

$v_f = v_1$

after another 120 s let the speed will be

$v_f' = v_2$

now we know that

$d = \frac{v_i + v_f}{2} (t)$

$d = \frac{v_o + v_1}{2}(80)$

$1000 = 40(v_o + v_1)$

also we know that

$v_1 - v_o = a(80)$

also we have

$1000 = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}(120)$

$1000 = 60(v_1 + v_2)$

now we can say

$(v_2 + v_1) - (v_o + v_1) = \frac{50}{3} - \frac{50}{2}$

also we know

$v_2 - v_o = a(120 + 80)$

$-8.33 = 200 a$

$a = -0.042 m/s^2$

Part b)

now we have

$v_1 + v_o = 25$

$v_1 - v_o = (-0.042)(80)$

$v_1 = 10.83 m/s$

so the starting velocity of the trip is

$v_o = 25 - 10.83 = 14.17 m/s$

now speed after t = 200 s is given as

$v_2 = v_o + at$

$v_2 = 14.17 - (0.042)(200)$

$v_2 = 5.77 m/s$

A car moves with constant acceieration of -0.s m/s? on a straight portion of the road. Att- 0s the car has a velocity of 69 mph,

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

b) d = 0.71 Km

Explanation:

Car kinematics

Car 1 moves with uniformly accelerated movement

$v_f^2=v_o^2+2a*d$ Formula (1)

d: displacement in meters (m)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Equivalences:

1mile = 1609.34 meters

1 hour = 3600s

1km = 1000m

Known data

$v_o = 69\frac{mile}{hour} *1609.34\frac{meter}{mile} *\frac{1}{3600}\frac{hour}{s}=30.8 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_f= \frac{69}{2} \frac{mile}{hour} =34.5\frac{mile}{hour}=15.4 \frac{m}{s}$

a = -0.5 m/s²

Distance calculation

We replace data in the Formula (1)

$15.4^2 = 30.8^2+2(-0.5)*d$

$2(0.5)*d = 30.8^2 - 15.4^2$

$d =\frac{ 30.8^2 - 15.4^2}{2(0.5) }= 717.6m$

$d = 717.6 m\frac{1km}{1000m} = 0.7176Km$

What is the definition of Mutualism

noname [10]

Mutualism is a long-term relationship where two organisms interact in such a way that both of them benefits from that relationship.

For example, there is a relationship between a bird called "oxpecker", and a rhino. While the bird eats the harmful bugs (eg. tick) on the rhino's skin and relieves its hunger; the rhino gets rid of the bugs that harm it.
