Shane's 100-watt radio draws 7 amps of current on a 120-volt circuit. What is the resistance in the radio?
1 answer:
Answer:
Resistance, R = 2.04 Ohms.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Current = 7 amps
Circuit voltage = 120 Volts
Power = 100 Watts
To find the resistance;
First of all, we would calculate the potential difference (voltage level) used by the radio.
Power = current * voltage
100 = 7 * voltage
Voltage = 100/7
Voltage = 14.29 Volts
Next, we solve for the resistance of the radio;
Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.
Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;
Where;
V represents voltage measured in voltage.
I represents current measured in amperes.
R represents resistance measured in ohms.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Resistance, R = 2.04 Ohms.

It make sense that the temperature of the oil is high even though the pipeline is in a cold environment this is so because where the oil is been tapped from is way hotter than the temperature of the pipeline environment because it is closer to the earths crust than the environment of the pipeline

Given:
- The attachment missing from the question is given:
- The given expressions for the radial and θ direction of motion:

θ = 0.5*t^2 ...... (correction for the question)
- Mass of peg m = 0.5 kg
Find:
a) Determine the magnitude of the force of the rod on the peg at the instant t = 2 s.
b) Determine the magnitude of the normal force of the slot on the peg.
Solution:
- Determine the expressions for radial kinematics:
dr/dt = 0.5*dθ/dt
d^2r/dt^2 = 0.5*d^2θ/dt^2
- Similarly the expressions for θ direction kinematics:
dθ/dt = t
d^2θ/dt^2 = 1
- Evaluate each at time t = 2 s.
θ = 0.5*t^2 = 0.5*2^2 = 2 rad -----> 114.59°
r = 1 m , dr / dt = 1 m/s , d^2 r / dt^2 = 0.5 m/s^2
- Evaluate the angle ψ between radial and horizontal direction:
tan Ψ = r / (dr/dθ) = 1 / 0.5
Ψ = 63.43°
- Develop a free body diagram (attached) and the compute the radial and θ acceleration:
a_r = d^2r / dt^2 - r * dθ/dt
a_r = 0.5 - 1*(2)^2 = -3.5 m/s^2
a_θ = r * (d^2θ/dt^2) + 2 * (dr/dt) * (dθ/dt)
a_θ = 1(1) + 2*(1)*(2) = 5 m/s^2
- Using Newton's Second Law of motion to construct equations in both radial and θ directions as follows:
Radial direction: N_c * cos(26.57) - W*cos(24.59) = m*a_r
θ direction: F - N_c * sin(26.57) + W*sin(24.59) = m*a_θ
Where, F is the force on the peg by rod and N_c is the normal force on peg by the slot. W is the weight of the peg. Using radial equation:
N_c * cos(26.57) - 4.905*cos(24.59) = 0.5*-3.5
N_c = 3.03 N
F - 3.03 * sin(26.57) + 4.905*sin(24.59) = 0.5*5
F = 1.81 N
