Answer:

Resistance = 1728.57 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 7 Watts

Voltage = 110 Volts

To find the resistance of each bulb;

Mathematically, power can be calculated using the formula;

$Power = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{resistance}$

Making resistance the subject of formula, we have;

$Resistance = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{power}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Resistance = \frac {110^{2}}{7}$

$Resistance = \frac {12100}{7}$

Resistance = 1728.57 Ohms

What do you mean by physical quantity

Naddika [18.5K]

A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.

There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc

Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.

Your electric drill rotates initially at 5.21 rad/s. You slide the speed control and cause the drill to undergo constant angular

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The drill's angular displacement during that time interval is 24.17 rad.

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the electric drill, $\omega _i$ = 5.21 rad/s

angular acceleration of the electric drill, α = 0.311 rad/s²

time of motion of the electric drill, t = 4.13 s

The angular displacement of the electric drill at the given time interval is calculated as;

$\theta = \omega _i t \ + \ \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\\\theta = (5.21 \ \times \ 4.13) \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(0.311)(4.13)^2\\\\\theta = (21.5173 ) \ + \ (2.6524)\\\\\theta =24.17 \ rad$

Therefore, the drill's angular displacement during that time interval is 24.17 rad.
