Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

I is the electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A$

So, the current is 0.625 A.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

s= 20.4 m

Explanation:

First lets write down equations for each ball:

s=so+vo*t+1/2a_c*t^2

for ball A:

s_a=30+5*t+1/2*9.81*t^2

for ball B:

s_b=20*t-1/2*9.81*t^2

to find time deeded to pass we just put that

s_a = s_b

30+5*t-4.91*t^2=20*t-4.9*t^2

t=2 s

now we just have to put that time in any of those equations an get distance from the ground:

s = 30 + 5*2 -1/2*9.81 *2^2

s= 20.4 m

A road has a crest curve, where the PVI station is a 71 35. The road transitions from a 2.1% grade to a -3.4% grade. The highest

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Stat PVC = Stat(82+98.5)

Stat PVT = Stat(59+71.5)

Explanation

PVI = 71 + 35

Let G1 = Grade 1; G2 = Grade 2

G1 = +2.1% ; G2 = -3.4%

Highest point of curve at station = 74 + 10

General equation of a curve:

$y = ax^{2} +bx+c\\dy/dx=2ax+b\\$

At highest point of the curve $dy/dx=o$

$2ax+b=0\\x=-b/2a\\x=G1L/(G2-G1)\\x=L/2 +(stat 74+10)-(stat 71+35)\\x=L/2 + 275$

$-G1L/(G2-G1) = (L/2 + 275)/100\\L = -2327 ft\\Station PVC = Stat(71+35)+(-2327/2)\\\\Stat PVC = 7135-1163.5\\Stat PVC = Stat(82+98.5)\\$

Station PVT

$Station PVT = Stat PVI + (L/2)\\Station PVT = Stat(71+35)+(-2327/2)\\Station PVT = 7135-1163.5\\Stat PVT = Stat(59+71.5)$

a cubical box 20-cm on a side is contructed from 1.2 cm thick concrete panels. A 100-W light bulb is sealed inside the box. What

Flura [38]

Answer:

Temperature on the inside ofthe box

Explanation:

The power of the light bulb is the rate of heat conduction of the bulb, $dq/dt = 100 W$

The thickness of the wall, L = 1.2 cm = 0.012m

Length of the cube's side, x = 20cm = 0.2 m

The area of the cubical box, A = 6x²

A = 6 * 0.2² = 6 * 0.04

A = 0.24 m²

Temperature of the surrounding, $T_0 = 20^0 C = 273 + 20 = 293 K$

Temperature of the inside of the box, $T_{in} = ?$

Coefficient of thermal conductivity, k = 0.8 W/m-K

The formula for the rate of heat conduction is given by:

$dq/dt = \frac{kA(T_{in} - T_0)}{L} \\\\100 = \frac{0.8*0.24(T_{in} - 293)}{0.012}\\\\T_{in} - 293 = \frac{100 * 0.012}{0.8*0.24} \\\\T_{in} - 293 = 6.25\\\\T_{in} = 293 + 6.25\\\\T_{in} = 299.25 K\\\\T_{in} = 299.25 - 273\\\\T_{in} = 26.25^0 C$

You want a potof water to boil at 105 celcius. How heavy a

ankoles [38]

Answer:

35.7 kg lid we put

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 105 celcius

diameter = 15 cm

Patm = 101 kPa

to find out

How heavy a lid should you put

solution

we know Psaturated from table for temperature is 105 celcius is

Psat = 120.8 kPa

area will be here

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ ..................1

here d is diameter

put the value in equation 1

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} 0.15^2$

area = 0.01767 m²

so net force is

Fnet = ( Psat - Patm ) × area

Fnet = ( 120.8 - 101 ) × 0.01767

Fnet = 0.3498 KN = 350 N

we know

Fnet = mg

mass = $\frac{Fnet}{g}$

mass = $\frac{350}{9.8}$

mass = 35.7 kg

so 35.7 kg lid we put
