Q: An appliance with a 20 Ω resistor has a power rating of 15.0 W. Find the maximum current which can flow safely through the appliance g

Answer:

0.866 A

Explanation:

From the question,

P = I²R............................. Equation 1

Where P = power, I = maximum current, R = Resistance.

Make I the subject of the equation

I = √(P/R).................... Equation 2

Given: P = 15 W, R = 20 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = √(15/20)

I = √(0.75)

I = 0.866 A

Hence the maximum current that can flow safely through the appliance = 0.866 A

Two objects are moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. the second object has twice the mass of the first obj
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

They both rises to same height.

Explanation:

When an object is sliding up in friction less surface than according to conservation of energy its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.

mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{2gH}

Here, m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.

Here the height is independent on the mass of an object and its only depend on velocity.

Now according to the question, two objects have same velocity but they have different masses.

Therefore, they rises to the same height because  height will not change with mass.

Why does it take significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move the beam of alpha particles compared with
wlad13 [49]
It takes significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move a beam of alpha particles compared with the beam of electrons(betaparticles) because the charge of an alpha particle is twice stronger than a beta particle. Therefore, more energy is needed to move the alpha particle.

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball v_1=25m/sec

And velocity after rebound v_2=-19m/sec

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to =m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer

Find the work w1 done on the block by the force of magnitude f1 = 60.0 n as the block moves from xi = -3.00 cm to xf = 1.00 cm
Norma-Jean [14]
By definition, the work done by a force is given by:
 W1 = F1 * d&#10;
 Where,
 F: magnitude of force
 d: distance traveled.
 Substituting values we have:
 W1 = F1 * (xf - xi)&#10;&#10;W1 = 60 * (0.01 - (-0.03))&#10;
 W1 = 60 * (0.01 + 0.03)&#10;&#10;W1 = 60 * (0.04)&#10;&#10;W1 = 2.40 J&#10;
 Answer: 
 the work w1 done on the block by the force of magnitude f1 = 60.0 n is:
 W1 = 2.40 J
