Answer:

90 A

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI.............. Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Supply voltage, I = current.

Make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Assuming the Voltage of the main electric supply is 120 V

Given: P = 10.8 kW = 10800 W, V = 120 V (household voltage)

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 10800/120

I = 90 A

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

4. The flow of electric charge is know as
vredina [299]

Answer:

electrons

Explanation:

An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

What is the relationship between DNA and mutation
Scrat [10]

Answer:

A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life. An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation
