Three resistors, each having a resistance, R, are connected in parallel to a 1.50 V battery. If the resistors dissipate a total

Answer:

The value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

voltage across the three resistor, V = 1.5 V

power dissipated by the resistors, P = 3.00 W

the resistance of each resistor, = R

The effective resistance of the three resistors is given by;

R(effective) = R/3

Apply ohms law to determine the current delivered by the source;

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 3V/R

Also, power is calculated as;

P = IV

P = (3V/R) x V

P = 3V²/R

R = 3V² / P

R = (3 x 1.5²) / 3

R = 2.25 Ω

Therefore, the value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω

A hiker begins a trip by first walking 25.0 km southeast from her car. She stops and sets up her tent for the night. On the seco
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

(a)

x_1=17.68km\\y_1=-17.68km\\x_2=20km\\y_2=34.64km

(b) r=41.32km

\alpha =24.23^o

Explanation:

Let us take the north direction to be the positive y-axis and the east to be positive x-axis.

First day:

25.0 km southeast, which implies 45^o south of east. The y-component will be negative and the x-component will be positive.

x_1=25cos45^o=17.68km

y_1=-25sin45^o=-17.68km

Second day:

She starts off at the stopping point of last day. This time, both the y- and x-components are positive.

x_2=40cos60^o=20km

y_2=40sin60^o=34.64km

Therefore, total displacements:

x=x_1+x_2=(17.68+20)km=37.68km

y=y_1+y_2=(-17.68+34.64)km=16.96km

Magnitude of displacements,

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=41.32km

Direction,

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=24.23^o

Why are the parts of an atom that electrons occupy called electron clouds?
Anna [14]

Because it's literally impossible to tell exactly where something that size is
located at any particular time.

And that's NOT because it's so small that we can't see it.  It's because any
material object behaves as if it's made of waves, and the smaller the object is,
the more the size of its waves get to be like the same size as the object. 
When you get down to things the size of subatomic particles, it doesn't make
sense any more to try and talk about where the particle actually "is", and we only
talk about the waves that define it, and how the waves all combine to become a
cloud of <em><u>probability</u></em> of where the particle is.

I know it sounds weird.  But that's the way it is.  Sorry.

On top of Mount Everest, the temperature is -19 ∘C in July. Being a physicist, you determine by how many degrees Celsius one nee
kondaur [170]

Answer:

254 °C

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of gas molecules K = 3RT/2N where R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol-K, N = avogadro's constant = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

T = temperature in Kelvin.

Let K be its average kinetic energy at t = -19°C = 273 + (-19) = 273 - 19 = 254 K = T. K = 3RT/2N = 3 × 8.314 J/mol-K × 254 K/(2 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol) = 5.26 × 10⁻²¹ J

When its average kinetic energy doubles, it becomes K₁ = 2K = 2 × 5.26 × 10⁻²¹ = 10.52 × 10⁻²¹ J at temperature T₂. So,

K₁ = 3RT₁/2N

T₁ = 2NK₁/3R

T₁ = 2 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol × 10.52 × 10⁻²¹ J/3 × 8.314 J/mol-K = 508 K

The temperature difference is thus ΔT = T₁ - T = 508 K - 254 K = 254 K.

Since temperature change in kelvin scale equals temperature change in Celsius scale ΔT = 254 °C

So, we need to change the temperature of the air by 254 °C to double its average kinetic energy.
