In the circuit, the total current is 60 A and the voltage is 240 V. If R1

resistance is 20 Ω, then the R2 resistance would be 5 Ω

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance is the obstruction of electrons in an electrically conducting material. The SI unit of the resistance is Ohm

The mathematical relation for resistance can be understood with the help of the empirical relation provided by Ohm's law.

V=IR

where V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

For the given problem V= 240 V and I = 60 A

R = V/I

R =240/60

R =4 Ω

For calculating equivalent resistance in parallel combination.

1/Re = 1/R1 + 1/R2

1/4 = 1/20 + 1/R2

R2 = 5 Ω

Thus , the R2 resistance would be 5 Ω, therefore the correct answer is option B.

Robin would like to shoot an orange in a tree with his bow and arrow. The orange is hanging yf=5.00 myf=5.00 m above the ground.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

h' = 55.3 m

Explanation:

First, we analyze the horizontal motion of the projectile, to find the time taken by the arrow to reach the orange. Since, air friction is negligible, therefore, the motion shall be uniform:

s = vt

where,

s = horizontal distance between arrow and orange = 60 m

v = initial horizontal speed of the arrow = v₀ Cos θ

θ = launch angle = 30°

v₀ = launch speed = 35 m/s

Therefore,

60 m = (35 m/s)Cos 30° t

t = 60 m/30.31 m/s

t = 1.98 s

Now, we analyze the vertical motion to find the height if arrow at this time. Using second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (1/2)gt²

where,

Vi = Vertical Component of initial Velocity = v₀ Sin θ = (35 m/s)Sin 30°

Vi = 17.5 m/s

Therefore,

h = (17.5 m/s)(1.98 s) + (1/2)(9.81 m/s²)(1.98 s)²

h = 34.6 m + 19.2 m

h = 53.8 m

since, the arrow initially had a height of y = 1.5 m. Therefore, its final height will be:

h' = h + y

h' = 53.8 m + 1.5 m

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Law of refraction

Explanation:

An experiment to analyze the refraction of light in water can easily be performed with a laser pointer and protractor.

We throw the fishing rod line into the water, place the protractor at the point where the line touches the water and use the direction of the line for the direction of the laser pointer (on), the laser is visible by the reflection on the particles in the air.

The vertical line is called Normal and all angles must be measured with respect to this reference in optics.

Having these angles and the refractive index of water we can use the law of refraction

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

θ₂ = $sin^{-1} ( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \ sin \ \theta_1 )$

we can repeat several times to analyze several different input points (different angles) and to decrease the errors in the measurements.

the refractive index of air is n1 = 1 and n2= 1.33 (water)
