A wire from the power supply is carrying 120w of power and 24a of current. which color(s) of cable is the wire

There is no picture given so I can't be really sure what color of the cable you're referring to. However, the only relationship I can think of when the power and the current is given would be: P=IV or P = I²R, where P is power, I is current, V is voltage and R is resistance. Solving both equations:

120 W = (24 A)(Voltage)
Voltage = 5 V

120 W = (24 A)²(R)
R = 0.2083 Ω

So, i think the cable would have specification of 5 Volts and 0.2083 ohms.

Answer and explanation;

Power = voltage × current;

P = V/I

Thus;

V = P/I

= 120W/24A

= 5V

The voltage is therefore; 5 volts

The wire color is either Red or White.

The particle starts from rest at t=0. What is the magnitude p of the momentum of the particle at time t? Assume that t>0. Exp

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=0

We have to find the magnitude of p of the momentum of the particle at time t.

Let mass of particle=m

Applied force=F

Acceleration, $a=\frac{F}{m}$

Final velocity , $v=a+ut$

Substitute the values

$v=0+\frac{F}{m}t=\frac{F}{m}t$

We know that

Momentum, p=mv

Using the formula

$p=m\times \frac{F}{m}t=Ft$

M1 descending
−m1g + T = m1a

m2 ascending
m2g − T = m2a

this gives :
(m2 − m1)g = (m1 + m2)a

a = (m2 − m1)g/m1 + m2
= (5.60 − 2)/(2 + 5.60) x 9.81
= = 4.65m/s^2

The amplitude of a lightly damped oscillator decreases by 3.0% during each cycle. what percentage of the mechanical energy of th

Zanzabum

E = ½KA^2 is the mechanical energy of any oscillator. It is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy. When amplitude A decreases by 3%, then

(E2-E1)/E1 = {½K(A2^2/A1^2) }/ ½K(A1^2)

= {(A2^2 – A1^2) / (A1^2)}

= 97^2 – 100^2/100^2

= 5.91% of the mechanical energy is lost each cycle.
