Answer:

R = 40 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of outlet, V = 120 V

Current flowing through the device, I = 3 A

We need to find the Resistance rating of the power cord. Let the resistance is R. We know that,

Ohm's law, V = IR

Put all the values,

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{120}{3}\\\\R=40\ \Omega$

So, the resistance rating of the power cord is equal to 40 ohms.

The half life for the first order conversion of A to B is 56.6 hours. How long does it take for the concentration of A to decrea

sveta [45]

Answer:

It will take 188.06 hours for the concentration of A to decrease 10.0% of its original concentration.

Explanation:

A → B

Initial concentration of the reactant = x

Final concentration of reactant = 10% of x = 0.1 x

Time taken by the sample, t = ?

Formula used :

$A=A_o\times e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

where,

$A_o$ = initial concentration of reactant

A = concentration of reactant left after the time, (t)

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = half life of the first order conversion = 56.6 hour

$\lambda$ = rate constant

$A=A_o\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}})\times t}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$0.1x=x\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{56.6 hour})\times t}$

t = 188.06 hour

It will take 188.06 hours for the concentration of A to decrease 10.0% of its original concentration.

What is an example of kinetic energy? Question 7 options: A frisbee flying through the air A car in the garage A box sitting on

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Kinetic energy is energy that comes from motion. Anything that is currently in motion has kinetic energy.

Let’s look at each example to determine if they have kinetic energy.

First off, a car in the garage: let’s ask ourselves- Is the car in motion?
No, it is sitting in the garage. It is not moving; therefore it doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Next, a box sitting on a shelf: let’s ask ourselves the same question- Is the box in motion?
No, it is sitting on the shelf. Again, it is not moving. It doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Our third item is a ball lodged in a tree: again, we will ask ourselves the same question- Is the object moving?
No, it isn’t moving. Again, since it is not moving, it will not have kinetic energy.

Our last item is a frisbee flying through the air: asking ourselves the same question- Is it moving?
Yes, the object is moving. Yes, it has kinetic energy.

The frisbee flying through the air has kinetic energy.

Calcium oxide (cao) can react with carbon dioxide (co2) in a synthesis reaction. Select the most likely products of this reactio

Triss [41]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is the reaction in which two compounds or atoms combine together to result in the formation of a single compound.

For example, $CaO + CO_{2} \rightarrow CaCO_{3}$
