The lights are wired in PARALLEL.

In fact, when the lights are connected in parallel, they are connected on separate branches to the source of voltage, so if one light bulb burns out, the other lights continue to work because the current continues to flow in the other branches of the circuit.

Vice-versa, if the light bulbs are connected in series, they are on the same branch This means that if one of them burns out, the circuit is open in that point, so the current cannot flow anymore and the other light bulbs turn off as well.

You need a 450 microgram sample of gold, but you only have a mass balance that measures in decigrams. Convert the amount of gold
sveta [45]

The amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

<h3>How to convert micrograms to decigrams?</h3>

According to this question, 450 micrograms of a sample of gold is needed but we only have a mass balance that measures in decigrams.

This means that we are to convert the amount of gold you need to decigrams by comparing the exponents.

The conversion factor of micrograms to decigrams is as follows:

1 micrograms = 1 × 10-⁵ decigrams

This means 450 micrograms is equivalent to 450 × 1 × 10-⁵ = 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams

Therefore, the amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.

Balance the following chemical equation:<br> CO2 + VH20 - CH1206+ voz<br> [<br> ~<br> CO₂+
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

Start with Carbon and assume we only get 1 sugar molecule from the process.

you have 6 carbons in the sugar on the right, so you need 6 carbons on the left which only come from CO₂

6 CO₂

you have 12 hydrogen atoms in the sugar on the right, so you need 12 hydrogen atoms on the left which only come from H₂O. At 2 hydrogen atoms per water molecule means you need 6 waters.

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → 1 C₆H₁₂O₆

you are supplied with 12 oxygen from the CO₂ and 6 oxygen from the H₂O, but you only need 6 oxygen for the sugar. That means there are 12 oxygen remaining which will become 6 O₂ molecules

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → 1 C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

g While hauling a log in the back of a flatbed truck, a driver is pulled over by the state police. Although the log cannot roll
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of static friction required, µ = 0.10

<em>Note. The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:</em>

<em>While hauling a log in the back of a flatbed truck, a driver is pulled over by the state police. Although the log cannot roll sideways, the police claim that the log could have slid out the back of the truck when accelerating from rest. The driver claims that the truck could not possibly accelerate at the level needed to achieve such an effect. Regardless, the police write a ticket anyway and now the driver court date is approaching.</em>

<em>The log has a mass of m = 929 kg; the truck has a mass of M = 8850 kg. According to the truck manufacturer, the truck can accelerate from 0 to 55 mph in 23.0 seconds, but this does not account for the additional mass of the log. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction μs needed to keep the log in the back of the truck.</em>

Explanation:

First, velocity in mph is converted to m/s

1 mph = 0.447 m/s

55 mph ≈ 24.6 m/s

The acceleration of the empty truck is a = v/t = 24.6 / 23 = 1.07 m/s²

Force that can be generated by the truck, F = ma

F = 8850kg * 1.07 m/s² = 9469.5 N

However, with the added mass of the log on it, the acceleration of the truck will become;

a = F / m = 9469.5 N / (8550+929)kg = 0.97 m/s²

Frictional force between the log and the truck = 0.97 m/s² * 929 kg = 901.13 N

Normal reaction on the truck due to the weight of the log, R = mg

R = 929 kg * 9.8m/s² = 9104.2 N

Coefficient of static friction, µ = F/R

µ = 901.13/9104.2

µ = 0.098 ≈ 0.10

Therefore, the minimum static friction required is µ = 0.10

What is the Principle of electric generator?
kozerog [31]

An electric generator works on the principle of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that “whenever a current carrying conductor are placed in the magnetic field, then a flux is induces in the circuit due to which a current start to flow in the rotor also.
