Voltage=V=120V
Power=P=60W

Current=I

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5A$

The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.

Sholpan [36]

The frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Given the following data:

Period = 1 day and 37 minutes.

To find the frequency of rotation in Hertz:

First of all, we would convert the the value of period in days and minutes to seconds because the period of oscillation of a physical object is measured in seconds.

Conversion:

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours to minutes = $60$ × $24$ = $1440$ minutes

$1440 + 37 = 1477 \; minutes$

1 minute = 60 seconds

1477 minute = X seconds

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 60$ × $1477$

X = 88620 seconds

Now, we can find the frequency of rotation of Mars by using the formula:

$Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\\\\Frequency = \frac{1}{88620}$

Frequency of rotation = 0.0000113 Hertz

Therefore, the frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh

kkurt [141]

Answer:

t = 120.5 nm

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of the oil = 1.4

wavelength of the red light = 675 nm

minimum thickness of film = ?

formula used for the constructive interference

$2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

where n is the refractive index of oil

t is thickness of film

for minimum thickness

m = 0

$2 \times 1.4 \times t = (0+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 675$

$t = \dfrac{0.5\times 675}{2\times 1.4}$

t = 120.5 nm

hence, the thickness of the oil is t = 120.5 nm

A. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

Andrews [41]

Explanation:

Coefficient of kinetic friction is the resistive force that opposes the motion of a body as it moves and is in contact with another body.

It is found by dividing the frictional force by the normal force.

Friction is a force that opposes motion.
Static friction is for bodies that are not in motion
Kinetic friction is for moving bodies.

Answer:

4,800?

First I subtracted 8 from 24 because there are 24 hours in a day ad she spends 8 of those hours sleeping. I then took the answer which was 16, and multiplied that by 60 to find out how many minutes were in 16 hours and I got 960. I then multiplied 960 by 5 because she winks 5 times each minute. This left me with the answer 4,800.
