Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.
For a parallelogram:
P = 2*length + 2*width
So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.
Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is
h = 19 in
Perimeter of the first stripe is
P = (2*19) + (2*3)
P = 44 inches
The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is
44 + 44 + 44
132 inches
To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.
I believe they are called nonohmic materials. According to ohms law the current trough a current carrying conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference (voltage) at a constant resistance. Non-ohmic conductors or materials are those materials that do not obey the ohms law, their resistance increases as the current increases. Ohmic materials are those that obeys the ohms law such that the voltage and current are proportional- doubling the potential difference doubles the current.
The answer is D. The current in the battery and in each resistor is the same.
If we have two or more components in series, the current that flows through each of them is the same.
In this case, the battery generates the current, and since there must be conservation of electric charge, no current can be lost through the resistors.
Actually, hydroelectric and coal-fired power plants produce electricity in a similar way. In both cases a power source is used to turn a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator,which is the motor that produces electricity. A coal-fired power plant uses steam to turn the turbine blades; whereas a hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn the turbine. The results are the same. :) <span>
