Answer:

Resistance of the light bulb = 1.33 ohm (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Current in electric bulb = 2 Amp

Voltage in battery = 1.5 Volt

Find:

Resistance of the light bulb

Computation:

Resistance = Voltage / Current

Resistance of the light bulb = Voltage in battery / Current in electric bulb

Resistance of the light bulb = 2 / 1.5

Resistance of the light bulb = 1.33 ohm (Approx.)

an 1150kg elevator moving down speeds up at a rate of 3.5m/s. what is the tension in the supporting cables?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The tension force in the supporting cables is 7245N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the elevator: the force of gravity pointing down (+) with magnitude (elevator mass) x (gravitational acceleration), and the tension force of the cable pointing up (-) with an unknown magnitude F. The net force is the sum of these forces:

$F_{net} = F_g - F = m\cdot g - F\\$

We are given the resulting acceleration along with the mass, i.e., we know the net force, allowing us to solve for F:

$1150kg\cdot 3.5\frac{m}{s^2}= 1150kg \cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}-F\\\implies F = 1150kg\cdot(9.8-3.5)\frac{m}{s^2}= 7245N$

The tension force F in the supporting cables is 7245N

What wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.

From an h = 53 feet observation tower on the coast, a Coast Guard officer sights a boat in difficulty. The angle of depression o

maksim [4K]

Answer:

757,93 feets

Explanation:

We can make a right triangle between the boat (A), the Coast Guard officer (B) and the base of the observation tower (C), like in the graph attached. Now, you could also made a rectangle, adding the horizontal at the height of the Coast Guard, starting in B and ending in D, the vertex opossing C.

The angle of depression, its O in the graph.

Now, as we got an rectangle, of course, the segment AD its the same length as CB, and CA, the distance from the boat to shoreline, its the same length as DB.

ADB its an right triangle, with AB, the hypothenuse, and BD and DA, the catheti (or <em>legs</em>).

Now, we know the lenght BC, the height of the tower, 53 feets, so we also know the lenght of DA. DA its the opposite cathetus to the angle O. We wish to know the length AC, equal to the lenght DB, the adjacent cathetus of the angle O.

Know, the trigonometric function that connects the adjacent cathetus with the opossite cathetus its the tangent.

$tangent( O ) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$
