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.

A cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis) of mass 3.70×10−2 kg and a baseball of mass 0.144 kg have the same kinetic energy. What is t

Radda [10]

Answer:

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507$

Explanation:

Since the cardinal and ball have the same kinetic energy, it is possible to determine the ratio between speeds. (c for cardinal, b for baseball)

$K_{c} = K_{b}$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{c}\cdot v_{c}^{2}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{b}\cdot v_{b}^{2}$

$\frac{v_{c}}{v_{b}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }$

The ratio is obtained by multiplying each side by $\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}$ :

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}=\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }$

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}= \sqrt{\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}} }$

The value of this ratio is:

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507$

Which restricted basin has the coolest temperatures?

sattari [20]

Hudson Bay is the restricted basin that has the coolest temperatures

Hudson Bay is a restricted basin which remains frozen or is dominated by ice over the summer solstice and through- out much of the high-sun season. This basin experiences a harsh continental climate.

The average annual temperature in almost the entire bay is around 0 °C (32 °F) or below. In the extreme northeast, winter temperatures average as low as −29 °C or −20.2 °F. The region of this basin has very low year-round average temperatures.

This basin starts freezing up by early November, and the northern part of the basin is typically entirely iced over by the end of the month.

correct answer is Hudson bay

Compare mass and weight

netineya [11]

Answer:

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
