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

Which of the following is a contact force?
Nutka1998 [239]
The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact". 

Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.

The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.

As the amplitude of a mechanical wave increases, which of the following quantities
Lisa [10]

.c ...energy

Explanation:

Amplitude does not affect wavelength. It also does not affect wave speed. Amplitude is the energy of the wave measured from the rest position to the top of the crest. A wave with more energy has a higher up crest/ higher amplitude.

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so v_0=0. Replacing the given values and solving for g':

g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}. So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.
