(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:

where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know

and

, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:

where

is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
Answer:
Chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic.
Answer: when a object gets slowed down, it's force is either going into friction and drag, if it's on the ground, and weight+drag+friction, if it's in the air.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Ignoring friction, the acceleration will double
F = ma
2F = m(2a)
Answer:
C 0.85 j/g*k
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of a material is given by:

where
Q is the amount of heat supplied to the object
m is the mass of the object
is the increase in temperature of the object
For the object in this problem, we have
m = 117 g is the mass
Q = 1200 J is the heat supplied
is the increase in temperature
Substituting into the formula, we find the specific heat:
