Answer:

(a) 0.081 A (b) 1358.02 ohms

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 110 volt

Power of a LED bulb, P = 9 Watt

(a) Let the current is I. The formula for ower in terms of voltage and power is given by :

P = VI

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{9}{110}\\\\=0.081\ A$

(b) Let R is the resistance of the bulb. Using Ohm's law as follows :

V = IR

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{110}{0.081}\\\\=1358.02\ \Omega$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 55 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Explanation:

To discover what is the lethal voltage to the electrician we need to find out what is the voltage that produces 55 mA = 0.055 A when across a resistance of 2300 Ohms (Electrician's body resistancy). For that we'll use Ohm's Law wich is expressed by the following equation:

V = i*R

Where V is the voltage we want to find out, i is the current wich is lethal to the electrician and R is his body resistance. By applying the given values we have:

V = 0.055*2300 = 126.5 V.

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

A 90 kg astronaut Travis is stranded in space at a point 12 m from his spaceship. In order to get back to his ship, Travis throw

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a recoil problem, which is just another application of the Law of Momentum Conservation. The equation for us is:

$[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_b=[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_a$ which, in words, is

The momentum of the astronaut plus the momentum of the piece of equipment before the equipment is thrown has to be equal to the momentum of all that same stuff after the equipment is thrown. Filling in:

$[(90.0)(0)+(.50)(0)]_b=[(90.0)(v)+(.50)(-4.0)]_a$

Obviously, on the left side of the equation, nothing is moving so the whole left side equals 0. Doing the math on the right and paying specific attention to the sig fig's here (notice, I added a 0 after the 4 in the velocity value so our sig fig's are 2 instead of just 1. 1 is useless in most applications).

0 = 90.0v - 2.0 and

2.0 = 90.0v so

v = .022 m/s This is the rate at which he is moving TOWARDS the ship (negative was moving away from the ship, as indicated by the - in the problem). Now we can use the d = rt equation to find out how long this process will take him if he wants to reach his ship before he dies.

12 = .022t and

t = 550 seconds, which is the same thing as 9.2 minutes
