What are some ways in which body fat can be measured

1 answer:

8 0

I only know about the Water tank which is the most accurate. You place your body in it, and weights are added I think. Somehow some measurements are gathered to get your body fat weight. Online calculators exist, as well as electronic waves that are sent int your body, the echo is recorded and analyzed.

4) You have a 10 ohm resistor connected in series with an ammeter. The voltage applied to the whole circuit is 1.2 volts. At the

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.6 Ω

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram below,

Since the resistance and the ammeter are connected in series,

(i) The same amount of current flows through them.

(ii) The sum of their individual individual voltage is equal to the total voltage of the circuit.

Applying ohm's law,

V = IR................ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage across the ammeter, I = current flowing through the ammeter, R = resistance of the ammeter.

make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I............... Equation 2

Given: V = 1.2-0.9 = 0.3 V, I = 0.5 A.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 0.3/0.5

R = 0.6 Ω

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω , V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance

$R_{eq}$ = ∑ $R_{i}$

* For resistance in parallel

1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

R_B = Rb + R4

R_B = 2 + 18

R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

R_C5 = Rc + R5

R_C5 = 3 + 12

R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

R_total = R_A + R_BC

R_total = 6 + 8.57

R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

10 = V_a + V_BC

10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (14.57)

i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

V_BC = i R_BC

V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

Branch C

V_BC = i R_C5

i = V_BC / R_C5

i = 5.8819 / 15

i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

V_C = i R_C

V_C = 0.39213 3

V_C = 1.176 V

snow_tiger [21]

I believe that solar energy would be the best energy for my town. Solar energy is advantageous because the sun is up every day, and because it takes up much less space than than some other sources of renewable energy. Some disadvantages of solar energy are that if there is cloud cover, hardly any energy will be gained at all. Another disadvantage is that it is a long term investment that can take a while for it to pay for itself.

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorous and oxygen act together as on

S_A_V [24]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorus and oxygen act together as one charged particle, which is connected to magnesium, the other charged particle. What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2? A. There are two elements in magnesium phosphate. B. There are two molecules of magnesium phosphate. C. There are two magnesium ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate. D. There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Answer:

There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Explanation:

The compound magnesium phosphate is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds always consists of two ions, a positive ion and a negative ion.

In this case, the positive ion is Mg^2+ while the negative ion is PO4^3-.

The subscript, 2 after the formula of the phosphate ion means that there are two phosphate ions in each formula unit of magnesium phosphate.
