At what rate is thermal energy being generated in the 2R-resistor when  = 12 V and R = 3.0 ?

1 answer:

8 0

If there's nothing else connected to the battery except the 3-ohm resistor, then the question is defective and the correct answer is not on the list.

With 12v connected across the resistor, the current through the resistor is

I = (E/R) = (12/3) = 4 Amperes.

The power generated inside a resistor is

P = (E x I) = (12v) x (4 A) = 48 watts

A devout halloweener not only dressed as an astronaut, but travelled to the moon for the full experience. The astronaut jumps on

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

2.78 m

Explanation:

At the peak, the velocity is 0.

Given:

a = -1.6 m/s²

v₀ = 2.98 m/s

v = 0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(0 m/s)² = (2.98 m/s)² + 2(-1.6 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 2.775 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the astronaut halloweener reaches a maximum height of 2.78 meters.

The wavelength of a certain portion of an electromagnetic wave is 314 nm. what is its frequency and classification?

nadezda [96]

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 9.55 × 1014 Hz and it is classified as ultraviolet.

<h3>What is meant by electromagnetic waves?</h3>

Electromagnetic waves are forms of energy that are invisible and travel throughout the universe. However, some of the effects of this energy are visible. The light that we see is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic waves, or EM waves, are produced by vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, electromagnetic waves are made up of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

<h3>How do you calculate the speed of an electromagnetic wave?</h3>

The wavelength and frequency of any periodic wave are used to calculate its speed. v = λf.

In free space, the speed of any electromagnetic wave is equal to the speed of light, c = 3 $*$ 108 m/s.
