Answer:

A, 0.59A

Explanation:

The total resistance in the circuit is the resistances in parallel plus that in series.

Total resistance for those in parallel is;

1/(1/4 +1/6 +1/10) = 1/ (15+10+6 /60)

1/(31/60)= 60/31 ohms

Hence total resistance of the circuit is;

60/31 + 2 = (60+62)/31 = 122/31=3.94 ohms

To calculate the current flowing through the 10ohm resistance we need to know the voltage drop by subtracting the voltage drop in the 2ohm resistance from the total voltage drop.

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance is;

Current on the 2 ohm resistor × 2 ohms

V = I ×R ; I - current

R - resistance

Current drop on the 2ohm resistance is;

Total voltage in the circuit/ total resistance in the circuit

12/3.94= 3.05A

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance;

3.05 × 2 = 6.10volts

Hence voltage drop on the parallel resistance would be ;

12-6.10= 5.90V

Now voltage drop in a parallel circuit is the same hence 5.90v is dropped in each of the parallel resistance.

That said, the current drop on the 10 ohm resistor would be;

5.90/10 = 0.59A

Remember V= I× R so that I = V/R

A 2.0 kg pendulum has an initial total energy of 20 J. Calculate the energy lost as heat if the pendulum is 0.10 m high and is t
Maurinko [17]

The correct answer is (A) 2.0 J

Total energy of the pendulum is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. At the instant of time, when the pendulum is at a height <em>h</em> and has a speed <em>v, </em>Its energy is given by,

E=mgh+\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Substitute 2.0 kg for <em>m</em>, the mass of the pendulum, 9.81 m/s² for <em>g</em>, the acceleration due to gravity, 0.10 m for <em>h and 4.0 m/s for </em>v<em>.</em>

E=mgh+\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\ =(2.0kg)(9.81m/s^2)(0.10 m)+\frac{1}{2}(2.0kg)(4.0m/s)^2\\ =17.962J

The pendulum has an initial energy of 20 J. the energy lost is given by,

\Delta E=(20J)-(17.962J)\\ =2.038J=2.0J

Thus, the energy lost by the pendulum is (A) 2.0 J

Rzqust [24]
The compound is (Sulphuric Acid) H2SO4. On reacting with (Sodium Hydroxide) NaOH, it gives (2 Water Molecules/Colored) 2H2O and (1 Sodium Sulfate Molecule/Salt) Na2SO4

H2SO4 + NaOH —> 2H2O (aq.) + Na2SO4 (salt)

The resulted salt/compound (Na2SO4) when reacting with Methyl Orange (MO) is called ”Removal of methyl orange dye and Na2SO4 salt from synthetic wastewater using reverse osmosis (RO)”

The efficiency of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes used for treatment of colored water effluents can be affected by the presence of both salt and dyes.

Concentration polarization of each of the dye and the salt and the possibility of a dynamic membrane formed by the concentrated dye can affect the performance of the RO membrane.

The objective of the current work was to study the effect of varying the Na2SO4 salt and methyl orange (MO) dye concentrations on the performance of a spiral wound polyamide membrane.

The work also involved the development of a theoretical model based on the solution diffusion (SD) mass transport theory that takes into consideration a pressure dependent dynamic membrane resistance as well as both salt and dye concentration polarizations.

Control tests were performed using distilled water, dye/water and salt/water feeds to determine the parameters for the model.

The experimental results showed that increasing the dye concentration from 500 to 1000 ppm resulted in a decrease in the salt rejection at all of the operating pressures and for both feed salt concentrations of 5000 and 10,000 ppm.

Increasing the salt concentration from 5000 to 10,000 ppm resulted in a slight decrease in the percent dye removal. The model’s results agreed well with these general trends.

The nonreflective coating on a camera lens with an index of refraction of 1.21 is designed to minimize the reflection of 570-nm
lord [1]

Answer: 117.8 nm

Explanation:

Given,

Nonreflective coating refractive index : n = 1.21

Index of refraction: n_0 = 1.52

Wave length of light = λ = 570 nm = 570\times10^{-9}\ m

\text{ Thickness}=\dfrac{\lambda}{4n}

=\dfrac{570\times10^{-9}\ m}{4\times1.21}\\\\\approx\dfrac{117.8\times 10^{-9}\ m}{1}\\\\=117.8\text{ nm}

Hence, the minimum thickness of the coating that will accomplish= 117.8 nm
