There is a 120 V circuit in a house that is a dedicated line for the dishwasher, meaning the dishwasher is the only resistor on

that circuit line. If the dishwasher draws 18 A of electricity, what would the resistance of the dishwasher be? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth of an ohm.

The info given in the question:

Voltage= 120V

Current=18A

Now we have to find the resistance. To find it use the following formula:

V=IR

Now making R to be the subject of the formula

R=V/I

R=120/18

The answer is 6.67 ohms

As dishwasher is the only resistor in the line the voltage drop is going to be 120V. The resistance values determines the hindrance that is present in the circuit that opposes the free flowing electrons

Answer : The resistance of the dishwasher is R=6.67\ A.

Explanation :

It is given that in a house there is only one resistor on the circuit line. There is a 120 V circuit in a house that is a dedicated line for the dishwasher. The dishwasher draws the current of 18 A of electricity.

Using Ohm's law in this circuit such that, V = I R

Where R is the resistance offered to the circuit.

So, using V and I in the equation of Ohm's law we get :

R=\dfrac{V}{I}

R=6.67\ A

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of these properties of an object best quantifies its inertia: velocity, acceleration, volume, mass, or temperature?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6.0 s. The wheels have a diameter of 0.40 m. What is the average angular accele
leva [86]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to angular motion equations. Therefore we will have that the angular acceleration will be equivalent to the change in the angular velocity per unit of time.

Later we will use the relationship between linear velocity, radius and angular velocity to find said angular velocity and use it in the mathematical expression of angular acceleration.

The average angular acceleration

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t}

Here

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\omega_{f,i} = Initial and final angular velocity

There is not initial angular velocity,then

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}

We know that the relation between the tangential velocity with the angular velocity is given by,

v = r\omega

Here,

r = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity,

Rearranging to find the angular velocity

\omega = \frac{v}{r}}

\omega = \frac{30}{0.20} \rightarrow Remember that the radius is half te diameter.

Now replacing this expression at the first equation we have,

\alpha = \frac{30}{0.20*6}

\alpha = 25 rad /s^2

Therefore teh average angular acceleration of each wheel is 25rad/s^2

The pencil rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure. which of the labeled points is the point that the axi
attashe74 [19]
The labeled points which is Letter B in the given Image is the point that the axis of rotation passes through. This problem is an example of rotational dynamics, formerly an object moves in a straight line then the motion is translational but when an object at inactivity lean towards to continue at inactivity and an object in rotation be possible to continue rotating with continuous angular velocity unless bound by a net external torque to act then is rotational. In a rotational motion, the entity is not treated as a constituent part but is treated in translational motion. It points out with the study of torque that outcomes angular accelerations of the object.

On a cold winter day when the temperature is −20∘C, what amount of heat is needed to warm to body temperature (37 ∘C) the 0.50 L
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

75.6J

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat required to heat the air is the difference between the energy levels of the air when it enters and when it leaves the body,

Given the above we have the following equation.

Q=(m)(h2)-(m)(h1)

where

m=mass=1.3×10−3kg.

h2= entalpy at 37C

h1= entalpy at -20C

Q=m(h2-h1)

remember that the enthalpy differences for the air can approximate the specific heat multiplied by the temperature difference

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Cp= specific heat of air = 1020 J/kg⋅K

Q=(1.3×10−3)(1020)(37-(-20))=75.6J

Which of these discoveries contradict components of Dalton’s atomic theory? Check all of the boxes that apply. Atoms contain sma
EastWind [94]

Explanation:

According to Dalton's atomic theory, all the atoms are individual, all the atoms of the same element are identical in properties and mass, the compound is formed from two or more kinds of the atoms, all the matter is made up of small atoms and the chemical reaction is a rearrangement of the atoms.

The discoveries which contradicts the components of Dalton's atomic theory from the given discoveries are:

Nuclear reactions can change an atom of one element into an atom of another element.

Atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons.

Atoms contain smaller particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
