Answer:

E = 3456 J

Explanation:

The electrical energy expended in a resistor can be easily calculated by using the following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Expended = ?

I = current through 5 ohm resistor = 2.4 A

R = Resistance = 5 ohms

P = Electrical Power = VI

Since,

V = IR (Ohm's Law)

Therefore,

P = (IR)(I) = I²R = (2.4 A)²(5 ohms) = 28.8 Watt

t = time taken = (2 min)(60 s/1 min) = 120 s

Therefore,

E = (28.8 Watt)(120 s)

<u>E = 3456 J</u>

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

150000000000 m

0.0000005 seconds

33.33 ns

Explanation:

Speed of electromagnetic waves through vacuum = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Echo time = 1000 seconds

Echo time is the time taken to reach the object and come back to the observer

Distance = Speed×Time

Distance=3\times 10^8\times \frac{1000}{2}=150000000000\ m

Venus is 150000000000 m away from Earth

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{75}{3\times 10^8}=0.00000025\ seconds

Echo time will be twice the time

Echo\ time=2\times 0.00000025=0.0000005\ seconds

The echo time will be 0.0000005 seconds

Difference in time = Difference in distance / Speed

\Delta t=\frac{\Delta d}{v}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t=\frac{10}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \Delta=33.33\ ns

The accuracy by which I will be able to measure the echo time is 33.33 ns

The diagram shows four paths from point A to point B.
iVinArrow [24]
Path 2.

Displacement is the direction and magnitude of an object from its starting point, so path 2 is the direct route you would need to take to find direction and magnitude.

1. An asphalt block has a mass of 90 kg and a volume of 0.075 m. Determines the density of the asphalt.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

1. Density = 1200[kg/m^3]; 2. Volume= 0.005775[m^3], mass= 15.59[kg]

Explanation:

1. We know that the density is defined by the following expression.

Density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\where:\\mass=90[kg]\\volume=0.075[m^{3} ]\\density=\frac{90}{0.075} \\density=1200[\frac{kg}{m^{3} }]

2. First we need to convert the units to meters.

wide = 35[cm] = 35/100 = 0.35[m]

long = 11 [dm] =  11 decimeters = 11/10 = 1.1[m]

Thick = 15[mm] = 15/1000 = 0.015[m]

Now we can find the density using the expression for the density.

density= \frac{mass}{volume} \\where:\\volume = wide*long*thick\\volume=0.35*1.1*0.015 = 0.005775[m^3]\\\\mass= density*volume = 2700*0.005775 = 15.59[kg]

Superman is supposed to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Suppose that he obeys the normal laws of physics in this feat. Es
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

31.32 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let us assume the height of the Disque hall is 50 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 50}\\\Rightarrow u=31.32\ m/s

In order to make the jump Superman's initial velocity must be greater than or equal to 31.32 m/s

Which of the following accurately describes the differences between the SI and English systems of measurement?
Digiron [165]
The best answer is D. The SI system, which is based on the metric system, has been more widely adopted than the English system, which is harder to use. In order to standardize measurements, the International System of Units or the SI units are commonly used around the world since they are more easy to understand and compare than the English unit.
