0.15 m/s East
If you follow the equation a=vf-vi/t, you'll discover that subtracting the final velocity, 0.25 m/s, by the initial velocity, 0.10 m/s, and divide by zero, (bc there was no given time) the answer is 0.15 m/s East

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?
hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

P = I^2R

make I subject of the formula we have

I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }

substitute

I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps

Using Rayleigh's criterion, what is the smallest separation between two pointlike objects that a person could clearly resolve at
atroni [7]

 Answer:

y = 52.44 10⁻⁶  m

Explanation:

It is Rayleigh's principle that two points are resolved if the maximum of the diffraction pattern of one matches the minimum the diffraction pattern of the other

Based on this principle we must find the angle of the first minimum of the diffraction expression

         a sin θ= m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1

       sin θ =  λ  / a

Now let's use trigonometry the object is a distance L = 0.205 m

        tan θ = y / L

Since the angles are very small, let's approximate

        tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = sin  θ

        sin θ = y / L

We substitute in the diffraction equation

         y / L =  λ  / a

         y =  λ  L / a

Let's calculate

        y = 550 10⁻⁹ 0.205 / 2.15 10⁻³

        y = 52.44 10⁻⁶ m

A hollow metal sphere is electrically neutral (no excess charge). A small amount of negative charge is suddenly placed at one po
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The excess charge has distributed itself evenly over the outside surface of the sphere.

Explanation:

Since the hollow sphere is a conductor, it has free electrons that can move about within the sphere. In this light, an excess charge, the like charges repels each other, therefore ensuring that charges are spread as far apart as possible. There is therefore an evenly distributed charge on the outside surface of the sphere.

airplane in flight has a pressure difference between the lower and upper wing surface; this provides an upward force that balanc
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

4523.17365 Pa

Explanation:

m = Mass of plane = 77000 kg

F = Force = Weight = mg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A = Total area of wings = 167 m²

The pressure difference would be

\Delta P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=\dfrac{77000\times 9.81}{167}\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=4523.17365\ Pa

The pressure difference required to keep the plane aloft is 4523.17365 Pa
