Correct answer: Option D. 30 V

The resistors are connect in series, because in parallel the potential drop across all resistors will have been the same and will be equal to the battery voltage i.e. 60 V.

First we need to find the equivalent resistance and the current passing through the circuit.

Since, resistors are in series, equivalent resistance will be the sum of all individual resistances. So,

Equivalent Resistance = 20 + 40 + 60 = 120 ohm
Current through the circuit = Voltage / Equivalent Resistance  = 60/120 = 0.5 ampere

The voltage drop across R3 =Resistance of R3 x Current 
= 60 x 0.5
= 30 V

Therefore, D option is the correct answer.

A truck travels 1430 m uphill along a road that makes a constant angle of 5.76◦ with the horizontal.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance covered by the truck, d = 1430 m

The angle formed with the horizontal, Ф = 5.76°

The displacement is a vector quantity.

The horizontal component of displacement is given by,

                                 d' = d cos Ф

                                     = 1430 cos 5.76°

                                     = 1422.7 m

Hence, the horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

Answer: All apply

The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements in the form of a table, ordered by:

-Their atomic number (number of protons)

-Their configuration of electrons

-Their chemical properties

It was progressively developed over time as the scientific knowledge advanced; for this reason many modifications and corrections might be done in the future.

Its usefulness lies in the fact that it allows the existing elements to be organized in a more structured and coherent way, according to the chemical properties they possess. Dividing the table into rows and columns, which represent the periods and groups or families.

Then, with the location and classification of an element according to its group, we can determine how it acts by knowing its chemical and physical characteristics.

This is how with this configuration can be distinguished 4 sets of chemical elements, according to the ease of their atoms to lose or gain electrons, transforming into ions: metals, semimetals, non-metals and noble gases.

This has helped to predict the existence of various elements that have not yet been discovered, because by elements already located in the table and the periodicity found, <u>there are still empty spaces that indicate the composition of the element that has not yet been found</u>.

In addition, this table helps to simplify in some way the teaching of chemical elements and facilitates their learning, as well as their usage in the development of technological innovations.
