When resistors are connected in series, they act like
a single resistor whose resistance is their sum. 

100 ohms and 400 ohms, connected in series, look like
a single resistor of 500 ohms.

           Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

                        = (60 volts) / (500 ohms) = 0.12 A.

Current is measured by connecting a meter in series
with an energized component.  In other words, a break
is made in the circuit, the meter is connected in the break,
and the current to be measured literally flows through the meter.</span>

On a recent adventure trip, Anita Break went rock-climbing. Anita was able to steadily lift her 800- kg body 20.0 meters in 100
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Anita 's power rating during this portion of the climb is 1568 Watts.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the body, m = 800 kg

Height, h = 20 m

Time, t = 100 s

We need to find the Anita 's power rating during this portion of the climb. Power rating of an object is given by the work done per unit time. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}

P=\dfrac{800\times 9.8\times 20}{100}

P = 1568 Watts

So, Anita 's power rating during this portion of the climb is 1568 Watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A sphere of radius R has total charge Q. The volume charge density (C/m3) within the sphere is rho(r)=C/r2, where C is a constan
san4es73 [151]

Answer: C = Q/4πR

Explanation:

Volume(V) of a sphere = 4πr^3

Charge within a small volume 'dV' is given by:

dq = ρ(r)dV

ρ(r) = C/r^2

Volume(V) of a sphere = 4/3(πr^3)

dV/dr = (4/3)×3πr^2

dV = 4πr^2dr

Therefore,

dq = ρ(r)dV ; dq =ρ(r)4πr^2dr

dq = C/r^2[4πr^2dr]

dq = 4Cπdr

FOR TOTAL CHANGE 'Q', we integrate dq

∫dq = ∫4Cπdr at r = R and r = 0

∫4Cπdr = 4Cπr

Q = 4Cπ(R - 0)

Q = 4CπR - 0

Q = 4CπR

C = Q/4πR

The value of C in terms of Q and R is [Q/4πR]

a 20 of of ice at 0c is dropped into water at boiling point, specific heat capacity of water =4200 J/kg•c, sepesific latent heat
Contact [7]

Answer:

15 KJ

Explanation:

The quantity of heat (Q) required is given as:

Q = mcΔθ + mL

where m is the mass of ice, c is its specific heat capacity, L is its specific latent heat andΔθ is the change in temperature.

Given: m = 20g, temperature of ice = 0^{o} C, specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg^{o} C, latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.3 x 10^(5) J/kg, temperature of water = 100^{o} C.

Q = m (cΔθ + L)

   = 0.02(4200 x (100) + 330000)

   = 0.02(420000 + 330000)

  = 0.02 (750000)

Q = 15000

Q = 15000 Joules

Q = 15KJ

The quantity of heat needed to complete the conversion is 15 KJ.

Why does the gravitational field strength increase with latitude
otez555 [7]
The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

The quark composition of the proton and neutron are, respectively, uud and udd, where u is an up quark (charge +23e) and d is a
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Option C=> π+.

Explanation:

Just as it is given in the question above, we can see that the addition or combination of proton and neutron gives what is known as QUARKS.

Quarks are not easily measured because one can not see and study a quark independently; quarks move in multiples together.

The study of Quarks is very important in physics because they relate very well with electromagnetic force, strong force, weak force and Gravitational force.

"...When the remaining quarks combine to form a single particle, it is a π+".

π+ is a meson or a pion and it contains quarks and anti-quarks too
