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

Properties such as luster conductivity and flexibility are used to describe what type of elements

pickupchik [31]

Answer: metals.

Justification:

There are 118 elements which you can find in the periodic table ordered by atomic number. Those elements my be classified into metals, non-metals and metalloids.

The metals are placed on the left side of the periodic table. The metals share the properties of luster, conductivity and flexibility.

The properties of non-metals (which are on the right side of the periodic table) are opposite to those of metals: opaque, low conductivity and brittle.

Metalloids have in between properties.

Copper, for example is a metal: it has luster, is flexible and is highly conductive of the electricity (and temperature).

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength, $\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

R=75 cm= $\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m$

1 m=100 cm

$d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m$

$1 mm=10^{-3} m$

$a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m$

$y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m$

$I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2$

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}$

$\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}$

$\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad$

$tan\theta\approx \theta$

Because $\theta$ is small.

$\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}$

$\sin\theta\approx \theta$ ,

Therefore

$\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}$

$\phi=7.74 rad$

$\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}$

$\beta=5.3 rad$

$I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2$

$I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2$

$I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Please help my test is going on. Please answer both (i) and (ii).

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

i. 7.5 m

ii. 15000 N

Explanation:

Area under vt graph shows the displacement

so area of triangle ABE= 1/2×15×2

=7.5 m

ii) F=ma

here, m=1000kg

and a=v-u/t

=15-0/1

a=15

F=1000×15=15000N

A mechanic jacks up the front of a car to an angle of 8.0° with the horizontal in order to change the front tires. the car is 3.

SOVA2 [1]

<span>First draw a free-body diagram. Torque T = Force F x Distance d where force is the component of gravitational force g and d is the lever arm distance to the pivot point. Since the pivot point is at the back tire we subtract that from the length of the car resulting in d = 1.12 - 0.40 = 0.72 meters = d. We are interested in the perpendicular component of the force exerted on the car jack so use sin 8 degrees then T=1130 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 x sin(8 degrees) x0.72 m = 1,110.80 Newton-meters</span>
