Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Ohm law is defined as the voltage is equal to the current product by the resistance.

V = I * R

where:

V = voltage [volt]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

Therefore for a current to exist there must be a voltage and elements that exert resistance to the passage of electrons from one point to another.

There must be a closed loop between the connection points of the source, so that the current can flow freely. Any opening of the circuit will interrupt the current flow.

The x component of vector is -27.3 m and the y component is +43.6 m. (a) What is the magnitude of ? (b) What is the angle betwee

lara [203]

Answer:51.44 units

Explanation:

Given

x component of vector is $-27.3\hat{i}$

y component of vector is $43.6\hat{j}$

so position vector is

$r=-27.3\hat{i}+43.6\hat{j}$

Magnitude of vector is

$|r|=\sqrt{27.3^2+43.6^2}$

$|r|=\sqrt{2646.25}$

|r|=51.44 units

Direction

$tan\theta =\frac{43.6}{-27.3}=-1.597$

vector is in 2nd quadrant thus

$180-\theta =57.94$

$\theta =122.06^{\circ}$

A thermometer initially reading 212F is placed in a room where the temperature is 70F. After 2 minutes the thermometer reads 125

frez [133]

Answer:

91.3°F

Explanation:

Let T be the temperature of the thermometer at any time

T∞ be the temperature of the room = 70°F

T₀ be the initial temperature of the thermometer = 212°F

And m, c, h are all constants from the cooling law relation

From Newton's law of cooling

Rate of Heat loss by the cake = Rate of Heat gain by the environment

- mc (d/dt)(T - T∞) = h (T - T∞)

(d/dt) (T - T∞) = dT/dt (Because T∞ is a constant)

dT/dt = (-h/mc) (T - T∞)

Let (h/mc) be k

dT/(T - T∞) = -kdt

Integrating the left hand side from T₀ to T and the right hand side from 0 to t

In [(T - T∞)/(T₀ - T∞)] = -kt

(T - T∞)/(T₀ - T∞) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

(T - T∞) = (T₀ - T∞)e⁻ᵏᵗ

Inserting the known variables

(T - 70) = (212 - 70)e⁻ᵏᵗ

(T - 70) = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

At t = 2 minute, T = 125°F

125 - 70 = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

55/142 = e⁻ᵏᵗ

- kt = In (55/142) = In (0.3873)

- k(2) = - 0.9485

k = 0.4742 /min

At time t = 4 mins

kt = 0.4742 × 4 = 1.897

(T - 70) = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

e^(-1.897) = 0.15

T - 70 = 142 × 0.15 = 21.3

T = 91.3°F

A light wave has a wavelength of 450 nanometers. What is the frequency of this light?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Frequency, $f=6.67\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Explanation:

Wavelength of a light wave is 450 nm. It is required to find the frequency of this light wave. The speed of light is given by c. So,

$c=f\lambda$

f is the frequency of this light

$f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{450\times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=6.67\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

So, the frequency of this light is $6.67\times 10^{14}\ Hz$ .

A snail crawls at a speed of 0.0004 m/s. How long will ot take to climb a garden stick 1.6m high?

tekilochka [14]

4000 seconds

Explanation:

speed = distance / time

0.0004m/s = 1.6m / time

Subject time

time = 1.6 / 0.0004

time = 4000 seconds.

Hope this helps. Mark as brainliest if possible. tks
