A 120 V fish-tank heater is rated at 130W. Calculate (a) the current through the heater when it is operating, and (b) its resistance

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

The power P dissipated by a heater is defined as

[tex]P = VI[/tex]

where V is the voltage and I is the current.

a) The current running through a 130-W heater is

[tex]I = \dfrac{P}{V} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{120\:\text{V}} = 1.08\:\text{A}[/tex]

b) The resistance R of the heater is

[tex]P = VI = (IR)I = I^2R[/tex]

where [tex]V= IR[/tex] is our familiar Ohm's Law.

[tex]\Rightarrow R = \dfrac{P}{I^2} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{(1.08\:\text{A})^2}[/tex]

[tex]R = 110.8\:Ω[/tex]

Answer 2

The current running through the heater when it is operating is 1.08 A.

The resistance of the heater is 110.8 ohm.

What is current?A current is a flow of Charges.The formula of current is , current I = power P / voltage VThe SI unit of current is ampere A.

So, from the above equation we can calculate,

              current I = P/V

                      ∴   I = 130 / 120

                      ∴   I = 1.08 A

What is resistance?The resistance is a quantity which oppose the current flow in a circuit.The formula of resistance is ( in the terms of power P and ohm's law V=IR )  resistance R = P/I^2.The SI unit of resistance is ohm.

So, from the equation we can calculate,

                   Resistance R = P/I^2

                                  ∴  R = 130/(1.08)^2

                                  ∴  R = 110.8 ohm

Thus, the current running through the heater when it is operating is 1.08 A.

The resistance of the heater is 110.8 ohm.

What will be the speed of these waves (in terms of V) if we increase M by a factor of 18.0, which stretches the wire to double its original length

Answers

The speed of the chord wave allows finding a new speed when the mass is increased and the chord length is:

The velocity is: v = [tex]\frac{v_o}{3}[/tex]  

A wave is a periodic movement of the particles that carries energy, but not matter, the speed of the waves is related to the properties of the medium by the relationship.

           [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } }[/tex]  

Where v is the speed of the wave, T the force and μ is the linear density.

Indicates that the applied mass increases by a factor of 18.0 and the length of the head is increased to twice the original.

The linear density of the cable is

          [tex]\mu = \frac{m}{l}[/tex]

Where m is the mass of the cable and l is the length.

Let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions.

          M = 18.0 m₀

          l = 2 l₀

We look for the density.

         [tex]\mu = \frac{18.0 m_o}{2.0 l_o}[/tex]mu = 18.0 mo / 2 lo

         [tex]\mu = 9.0 \mu_o[/tex]  

We substitute in the expression for the velocity assuming that the tension is kept constant.

        [tex]v= \sqrt{\frac{T}{9.0 \mu} }[/tex]  

        [tex]v= \frac{v_o}{3}[/tex]  

In conclusion, using the speed of the chord wave we can find a new speed when the mass is increased and the chord length is:

Answers

Este problema describe el funcionamiento de una tobera adiabática (sin flujo de calor), la cual tiene una corriente de entrada que difiere de la de salida espacial y energéticamente, pero que conservan el mismo flujo másico de 250 kg/h. De este modo, usamos un balance de energía con el fin the determinar la velocidad a la que sale el fluido, según es requerido en el problema:

[tex]mu_1+mP_1v_1+mgh_1+\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2=mu_2+mP_2v_2+mgh_2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2[/tex]

En la que se tiene que la incógnita es la velocidad de salida, [tex]v_2[/tex], y es posible simplificar el flujo másico, [tex]m[/tex], al estar como factor común en ambos lados y despreciar la energía potencial (mgh), ya que no hay diferencia de altura significativa entre la entrada y salida de la tobera.

De este modo, es posible reemplazar los valores dados para obtener la siguiente expresión:

[tex]2510\frac{kJ}{kg} +1378kPa*0.147\frac{m^3}{kg} +\frac{1}{2} (5\frac{m}{s} )^2=2263\frac{kJ}{kg}+138.7kPa*1.099\frac{m^3}{kg} +\frac{1}{2} v_2^2[/tex]

Y así, hallar la velocidad de salida como sigue:

[tex]2725.066\frac{kJ}{kg}=2415.431\frac{kJ}{kg} +\frac{1}{2} v_2^2\\\\v_2=\sqrt{2(2725.066\frac{kJ}{kg}-2415.431\frac{kJ}{kg} )} \\\\v_2=24.9\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, pervading all space, perpendicular to the plane of rod and rails. The rod is released from rest, and it is observed that it accelerates to the left. In what direction does the magnetic field point?

Answers

The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us. The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

        F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

The thumb points in the direction of speed. Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field. The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us. If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

A merry-go-round rotates from rest with an angular acceleration of 1.08 rad/s2. How long does it take to rotate through (a) the first 3.74 rev and (b) the next 3.74 rev

Answers

Answer:

Let ω1 be the initial angular speed and ω2 the final angular speed:

α = (ω2- α1) / t      

corresponding to a = (v2 - v1) / t  

S (distance corresponds to theta)

1 rev = 2 pi      and 3.74 rev = 7.48 pi = 23.5 radians

S = 1/2 a t^2 linear     or S = 1/2 α t^2    angular acceleration

23.5 = 1/2 * 1.08 t^2     and t = 6.60 sec   for first 3.84 rev

b)  ω1 = 1.08 * 6.6 = 7.13 rad/sec    initial speed for second 3.74

23.5 = 7.13 t + .54 t^2        compare to S = v1 t + 1/2 a t^2

.54 t^2 + 7.13 t - 23.5 = 0    

t^2 + 13.2 t - 43.5 = 0

t = 2.7 sec for next 3.74

Check:

Jimmy walks to school by traveling 2.0 miles east and 3.0 miles north from his starting point. What are the magnitude and direction of Jimmy's displacement with respect to his original position?

Answers

Answer:

3.6 miles at 56.3 degrees north of east.

Explanation:

If you draw a diagram to calculate Jimmy's displacement, you end up with a triangle.

To solve for the magnitude of Jimmy's displacement with respect to his original position, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem formula.

Pythagorean Theorem Formula = a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Step by Step to solve for the magnitude of Jimmy's displacement:

1) a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2) 2.0^2 + 3^2 = c^2

3) 4 + 9 = c^2

4) 13 = c^2

5) To find what "c" equals to we need to find the square root of 13.

6) √13 = 3.6 | c = 3.6 miles

To solve for the direction of Jimmy's displacement with respect to his original position, we need to use the following formula:

tan^-1 ∅ (3/2)

tan^-1 ∅ (1.5)

∅ = 56.309° north of east

Therefore, your answer is 3.6 miles at 56.3 degrees north of east.

Answers

The distance that the canoe moves in this process is 1.29 meters.

We first have to find the center of mass

[tex]X = \frac{MsXs+McXc}{Mw+Mc} \\\\[/tex]

Where

Ms = Woman's mass = 45

Mc = Canoe's mass = 60kg

Xs = position from left= 1 cm

Xc = position from left end of canoe's mass = 2.5cm

When we put these values into the equation we have:

[tex]X=\frac{45*1+60*2.5}{45+60} \\\\= 1.857\\[/tex]

The center of gravity lies at the center of this boat. Therefore,

[tex]Xc = \frac{L}{2} \\\\L = 5 m long\\\\\frac{5}{2} =2.5[/tex]

5.00 - 1. 00 = 4 meters

[tex]\frac{45*4+60*2.5}{45+60} = 3.14meters\\\\[/tex]

To get the distance that is moved by this canoe

distance = 3.143-1.857

A Projectile of mass 0.277 kf is shot from a cannon. The end of the cannon's barrel is at heiht 6.8 m. The initial velocity of the projectile has a horizontal component of 6.1 m/s. The projectile rises to a maximum height above the end of the cannon's barrel and strikes th ground a horizontal distance past the end of the cannon;s barrel. What is the time it takes for the projectile to reach its maximm height? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

Answers

Ms2 is the answer to this Q

The time taken by  the projectile to reach its maximum height is 0.62 second.

Given parameters:

Horizontal component of initial velocity of the projectile: [tex]u_x[/tex] = 6.1 m/s.

To reach maximum height, the projectile should be throwed in 45 degree. So, vertical component of initial velocity of the projectile: [tex]u_y[/tex] = 6.1 m/s.

Given,  The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

At maximum height the vertical component of velocity of the projectile becomes zero due to acceleration due to gravity acts downwards.

So, from formula [tex]v_y[/tex] = [tex]u_y[/tex] - gt; we can write:

0 = 6.1 - 9.8t

⇒ t = 6.1/9.8 = 0.62 s.

Hence, the time taken by  the projectile to reach its maximum height is 0.62 second.

Answers

Answer:

PLEASE MARK ME BRAINLIEST!!!

Explanation:

Given initial velocity of ambulance

v0=18m/s , acceleration  a=5m/s2  

To find distance,  x=?  

First we need to calculate the time for which it acquires 30\,m/s. For that use equation

v=v0+at  

30=18+5×t  

⇒t=30−185=125seconds  

Distance travelled by the ambulance

x=v0t+12at2  

x=(18×125)+12×5×(125)2  

x=43.2+2.5×5.76=43.2+14.4  

x=57.6m  

Therefore the ambulance has to travel 57.6 m to match the velocity of car.
