At its closest point, Mercury is approximately 46 million kilometers from the sun. What is this distance in AU?

1 answer:

7 0

This problem can be solved using the following relation: 1 kilometer = 6.6846e-9 AU. Since we are already given the number of kilometers, we simply have to multiply it to its equivalent in AU to solve for the equivalent distance. This is done below:

46 000 000 * <span>6.6846e-9 = 0.3 AU</span>

What is the unit of the quotient of inductance and resistance?

Scorpion4ik [409]

The unit of the quotient of inductance and resistance will be Henry and ohm

Inductance is the tendency of an electrical conductor to oppose a change in the electric current flowing through it. The flow of electric current creates a magnetic field around the conductor. The field strength depends on the magnitude of the current, and follows any changes in current.

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

unit of quotient of inductance = henry (H)

unit of resistance = ohm

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

AlladinOne [14]

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Whic

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.
