Hello! I can help you with this! 

4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.

5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.

If you need more help on proportions and using proportions in real life situations, feel free to search on the internet to find more information about how you solve them.

First question (upper left):
1/Req = 1/12 + 1/24 = 1/8
Req = 8 ohms
Voltage is equal through different resistors, and V1 = V2 = 24 V.
Current varies through parallel resistors: I1 = V1/R1 = 24/12 = 2 A. I2 = 24/24 = 1 A.

Second question (middle left):
V1 = V2 = 6 V (parallel circuits)
I1 = 2 A, I2 = 1 A, IT = 2+1 = 3 A.
R1 = V1/I1 = 6/2 = 3 ohms, R2 = 6/1 = 6 ohms, 1/Req = 1/2 + 1/1, Req = 2/3 ohms

Third question (bottom left):
V1 = V2 = 12 V
IT = 3 A, meaning Req = V/It = 12 V/3 A = 4 ohms
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2, 1/4 = 1/12 + 1/R2, R2 = 6 ohms
I1 = V/R1 = 1 A, I2 = V/R2 = 2 A

Fourth question (top right):
1/Req = 1/20 + 1/20, Req = 10 ohms
IT = 4 A, so VT = IT(Req) = 4*10 = 40 V
Parallel circuits, so V1 = V2 = VT = 40 V
Since the resistors are identical, the current is split evenly between both: I1 = I2 = IT/2 = 2 A.

Fifth question (middle right):
1/Req = 1/5 + 1/20 + 1/4, Req = 2 ohms
IT = VT/Req = 40 V/2 ohms = 20 A
V1 = V2 = V3 = 40 V
The current of 20 A will be divided proportionally according to the resistances of 5, 20, and 4, the factors will be 5/(5+20+4), 20/(5+20+4), and 4/(5+20+4), which are 5/29, 20/29, and 4/29.
I1 = 20(5/29) = 100/29 A
I2 = 20(20/29) = 400/29 A
I3 = 20(4/29) = 80/29 A

Sixth question (bottom right):
V2 = 30V is given, but since these are parallel circuits, V1 = VT = 30 V.
Then I1 = V1/R1 = 30 V/10 ohms = 3 A.
I2 = 30 V/15 ohms = 2 A.
IT = 3 + 2 = 5 A
1/Req = 1/10 + 1/15, Req = 6 ohms

Which statement accurately represents the arrangement of electrons in Bohr’s atomic model?
noname [10]

Answer: Electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits of equal levels of energy

Explanation:

The statement that accurately represents the arrangement of electrons in Bohr’s atomic model is that the electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits of equal levels of energy.

It should be noted that the electrons have a fixed energy level when they travel around the nucleus in with energies which varies for different levels.

Higher energy levels are depicted by the orbits that are far from the nucleus. There's emission of light when the electrons then return back to a lower energy level.
