Answer: Option C) 11.25 A

Explanation:

Given that:

Voltage V = 90 volts

total current I = ?

Three resistors each with 40 Ω, 30 Ω, and 15 Ω in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the combination (Rtotal) of the circuit is as follows:

i.e 1/Rtotal = (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3)

1/Rtotal = (1/40Ω + 1/30Ω + 1/15Ω)

1/Rtotal = (3 + 4 + 8)/120Ω

1/Rtotal = 15/120Ω

1/Rtotal = 1/8Ω

To get the value of Rtotal, cross multiply

Rtotal x 1 = 8Ω x 1

Rtotal = 8Ω

Then, apply the formula V = I x Rtotal

90 volts = I x 8Ω

I = 90 volts / 8Ω

I = 11.25 Amperes

Thus, the total current used by the three lamps is 11.25 Amperes

A 286-kg motorcycle is accelerating up along a ramp that is inclined 31.6° above the horizontal. The propulsion force pushing th
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The acceleration motorcycle

a = 5.13 m / s²

Explanation:

Now to determine the acceleration of the motorcycle

Use the force to analysis motion

∑ F = m * a

∑ F = E - D - m*g * sin ( β ) = m * a

E = 3168 N

D = 230 N

β = 31.6 °

3168 N - 230 N - 286 kg * 9.8 m / s² * sin ( 31.6° ) = 286 kg * a

Now solve to a'

a = [ 3168 N - 230 N - 286 kg * 9.8  m / s² * sin ( 31.6° ) ] / (286 kg)

a = 5.13 m / s²

If i punch my self and it will hurt am i weak or strong
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

You're strong.

Explanation:

I've been thinking of this for quite a while, and I realized that your body has a certain limit to how much pain it can take. So, punching yourself extremely hard will cause pain, because that's your body's reaction to immense pressure being put on it. But, the fact that you punched yourself so hard that it hurts, shows that you are capable of applying so much pressure; therefore, you are strong.

Using the graph predict how many paper clipsa 7.5 v battery would pick up for both the 25 coil electromagnet and the 50 coil ele
enyata [817]

The graph between the strength of the magnet(number of paper clips picked) and battery is approximately a straight line.

For 25 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 5 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

For 50 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 15 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

The energy of a photon was found to be 3.38 x 10-19 J. Planck's constant is 6.63 x 10-34 J. S. Which color of light corresponds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of a photon is, E=3.38\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

c is the speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.38 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=5.88\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=588\ nm

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.
