The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out. 
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766 
Adjacent/Hypotenuse 
x/120 = cos40 
Answer: 91.92533. 
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.

B. In the vicinity of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, the energy intensity of sunlight is about 1600 W/m2 . What is the approximat
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

1097.8 V/m

Explanation:

The equation that relates the intensity of an electromagnetic wave with the magnitude of the electric field is:

I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0 E^2

where

c is the speed of light

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

E is the peak magnitude of the electric field

In this problem, we know the intensity:

I = 1600 W/m^2

So we can rearrange the formula to find E:

E=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1600 W/m^2)}{(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)}}=1097.8 V/m

How does current change for resistors in series? what is the equivalent resistance for resistors in series? answers?
ollegr [7]
The total resistance of electric circuit when resistors wired in a series is the sum of the individual resistance: each resistor in a series circuit has the same amount of current through and through it. Each resistor in a parallel circuit the same for voltage of the source applied to it.
when resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents the metre resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the supply current. When resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference is across them
