Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?
Leokris [45]
<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
 The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

 As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.

The weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5 kg is _N.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

4.9N

Explanation:

The formula for weight is F = ma.

You plug in the mass of 0.5kg and an acceleration of 9.8 to get

F = (0.5)(9.8)

F = 4.9N

A jet airliner moving initially at 548 mph
sasho [114]

Let's choose the "east" direction as positive x-direction. The new velocity of the jet is the vector sum of two velocities: the initial velocity of the jet, which is

v_1 =548 mph along the x-direction

v_2 = 343 mph in a direction 67^{\circ} north of east.

To find the resultant, we must resolve both vectors on the x- and y- axis:

v_{1x}= 548 mph

v_{1y}=0

v_{2x} = (343 mph)( cos 67^{\circ})=134.0 mph

v_{2y} = (343 mph)( sin 67^{\circ})=315.7 mph

So, the components of the resultant velocity in the two directions are

v_{x}=548 mph+134 mph=682 mph

v_{y}=0 mph+315.7 mph=315.7 mph

So the new speed of the aircraft is:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(682 mph)^2+(315.7 mph)^2}=751.5 mph
