Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2

In parallel

\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}

\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0

Solving the above quadratic equation

\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}

\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

you are about to work some magic with matter. you have a rectangular cube of matter in its solid state. it measures 3 in x 4 in
Elenna [48]

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

<h3>Volume of each of the container</h3>

The volume of each of the container is calculated as follows;

<h3>Volume of the rectangular container</h3>

V = 5 in x 6 in x 3 in

V = 90 in³

<h3>Volume of the cylindrical container</h3>

V = πr²h

V = (π)(2.5 in)²(8 in)

V = 157.1 in³

<h3>Volume of the matter</h3>

Vm = 3 in x 4 in x 5 in

Vm = 60 in³

<h3>Matter in solid and liquid state</h3>

Matter has fixed volume in solid and liquid state.

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

<h3>Matter in gaseous state</h3>

Matter has no definite volume in gaseous state.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

Use the following photoelectric graph to answer the following question:
klio [65]
The photoelectric effect is obtained when you shine a light on a material, resulting in the emission of electrons.

The kinetic energy of the electrons depends on the frequency of the light:
K = h(f - f₀)

where:
K = kinetic energy 
h = Planck constant
f = light frequency
f₀ = threshold frequency

Rearranging the formula in the form y = m·x + b, we get:
K = hf - hf₀
where:
K = dependent variable
f = <span>indipendent variable
h = slope
hf</span>₀ = y-intercept

Every material has its own threshold frequency, therefore, what stays constant for all the materials is h = Planck constant (see picture attached).

Hence, the correct answer is C) the slope.
