Given Information:  

Resistance = R = 250 Ω

Voltage = V = 3 V

Tolerance =   ±5%

Required Information:  

Maximum current = Imax = ?

Minimum current = Imin = ?

Answer:  

Imax = 12.6 uA

Imin = 11.4 uA

Explanation:  

As we know from Ohm's law

I = V/R

The current will be maximum when R is minimum and the current will be minimum when R is maximum

Rmax = 250,000 + 0.05*250,000

Rmax = 250,000 + 12500

Rmax = 262500 Ω

Rmin = 250,000 - 0.05*250,000

Rmin = 250,000 - 12500

Rmin = 237500 Ω

Imax = V/Rmin

Imax = 3/237500

Imax = 12.6 uA

Imin = V/Rmax

Imin = 3/262500

Imin = 11.4 uA

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Both balls have the same speed.

Explanation:

Janelle throws the two balls from the same height, with the same speed. Both balls will have the same potential and kinetic energy. Energy must be conserved. When the balls pass Michael, again they must have the same potential and kinetic energy.

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same
QveST [7]
In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s

I don't know if you need to complete this question or do it otherwise, however, I managed to find on the Internet on several places this completion of your sentence:
<span>Electric current flows through a long rod generating thermal energy at a uniform volumetric rate of q = 2 x 10</span>⁶ W/m³. 
I'm not sure whether that is the answer you were looking for, but that's what I found.
