A 14-foot boat operating under oars after dark must show what color light to prevent a collision?

1 answer:

7 0

A "White" colored light must be shown by a 14-foot boat that is operating under oars after it is dark, in order to prevent a collision.

Boats which are less than 23 feet cannot exceed a maximum speed of 7 knots. They need to exhibit an all-around white light when it is sailing in the dark.

The other practicable sidelights can also be used instead of the white lights, when they are sailing in international waters.

1) The relationship in between the electrical energy carriesd by the transmission wires and the amount of the heat loss in it is due to the reason that when the electricity is flown through the wires there are some resistance found in these wires which creates a disturbance in the efficient flow of electricty.Also we know that current have an heating effect when it is in motion as due to if a large amount or magnitude of electricity is flown through the transmission wires it will carry a larger heat effected and also due to the resistance is provided by the wires and so the process of heat loss takes place.

2)It is important to minimize current in transmission wires due to minimize the heat loss and resistance on flowing electric current to make the system more efficient 

 3)Given Resistance = 250 ohms 

Electric potential = 150 volts 

so we know Power = 

volt^2/Resistance = 

=(150^2/250)(ohms/volts)

=(22500/250)watt = 90 watt 

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)= (90×2)joules = 180 joules

Solve the equation. 5x-5=10x+2

Veronika [31]

Answer:

x = - 1.4

Explanation:

-5=10x+2-5x (subtract 5x from both sides)

-5=5x+2 (simplify)

-5-2=5x (subtract 2 from both sides)

-7=5x (simplify)

x=-7/5 (divide both sides by 5)

x=-1.4 (simplify)

Light shined through a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern. Green light (565 nm) is shined on a slit with width 0.210

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:(a)9.685 mm

(b)4.184 mm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light $(\lambda )=565nm \approx 565\times 10^{-9}m$

Width of slit(b)=0.210

(a)Width of central maximum located 1.80m from slit

$=\frac{2\lambda L}{b}$

$=\frac{2\times 565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}$

=9.685 mm

(b)Width of the first order bright fringe

$Y_1=\frac{\lambda \times L}{b}$

$Y_1=\frac{565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}$

$Y_1=4.84mm$

The noble gas neon is used for filling neon signs. Like other noble elements, it has a full octet (complete outer energy level)

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

C. unlikely to combine with other elements.

Explanation:

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Noble gases are chemical elements with eight valence electrons and as such have a full octet. Some examples are argon, neon, etc.

Hence, the full octet makes the gas (neon) unlikely to combine with other elements.

What happens to the structure of an atom when the atom is ionised?

Phoenix [80]

Answer: Explanation:

If the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons then the atom is uncharged and is electrically neutral. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons: increasing or decreasing the negative charge. Ionisation is the addition or removal of an electron to create an ion. ..Gaining an electron creates a negative ion.
