Find the current through a 12 ohm resistive circuit when 24 volts is applied

A 1100kg car pulls a boat on a trailer. (a) what total force resists the motion of the car, boat, and trailer, if the car exerts a 1900n force on the road and produces an acceleration of 0.550 m/s2? the mass of the boat plus trailer trailer is 700kg.

An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a circuit that "clicks" in response to current. The faster the current, the more clicks per minute.

In a nuclear power plant, the temperature of the water in the reactor is above 100°C because of what?

Determine the total mechanical energy of a 250 g baseball if it has a velocity of 30 m/s when it leaves the pitcher's hand 1.2m above the ground.

When distances were carefully measured from Earth to globular clusters above and below the Milky Way plane (where our view of them is not obscured by interstellar dust and gas), their distribution was found to be

Imagine you transfer heat into a gas. This heat splits up in two different ways: Additional thermal energy making the gas hotter and "fuel" for the gas to do work. Let's suppose, 64% of the transferred heat transforms into thermal energy.
