Answer:

12 ohms

Explanation:

The five 60 Ohms resistance can be represented as follows:

R1 = 60 Ohms

R2 = 60 Ohms

R3= 60 Ohms

R4 = 60 Ohms

R5 = 60 Ohms

Rt =?

Since they are in parallel connections, the equivalent resistance (Rt) can be calculated as follows :

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 + 1/R5

1/Rt = 1/60 + 1/60 + 1/60 + 1/60 + 1/60

1/Rt = ( 1+1+1+1+1)/60

1/Rt = 5/60

1/Rt = 1/12

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Rt = 12 ohms

Therefore the equivalent resistance is 12ohms

Does cross transfer occur when fibers are transferred from the victim to the suspect

lesantik [10]

When two people come in contact or when contact occurs with an item from the crime scene, the possibility exists that a fiber transfer will take place. This does not mean that a fiber transfer will always take place. Certain types of fabric do not shed well (donor garments), and some fabrics do not hold fibers well (recipient garments). The construction and fiber composition of the fabric, the duration and force of contact, and the condition of the garment with regard to damage are important considerations.

Hope this helps.

An RLC circuit has a resistance of 200 Ω and an inductance of 15 mH. Its oscillation frequency is 7000 Hz. At time t = 0, the cu

MArishka [77]

Answer: 2.13 × 10^-4 A

Explanation:

Given that the RLC circuit has a resistance R = 200 Ω and an inductance L = 15 mH.

Its oscillation frequency F = 7000 Hz

The initial current I = 25 mA = 25/1000 or 25 × 10^-3 A

Since there is no charge on the capacitor, the current after complete 5 circle will be achieved by using the formula in the attached file.

Please find the attached file for the remaining explanation for the solution.

An object having a fixed emissivity of 0. 725 radiates heat at a rate of 10 w when it is at an absolute temperature t. If its te

If the temperature is doubled to 2t, the rate at which it will now radiate is 160 W.

<h3>What is meant by emissivity?</h3>

The ability of a substance to reflect heat radiation from its surface is measured by its emissivity.
Thermal radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that includes infrared radiation, which the human eye cannot perceive, as well as visible radiation (light).
According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, emissivity is the quantitative comparison between the thermal radiation of a surface and that of an ideal black surface at a given temperature.
Between 0 and 1 is the ratio's range.

<h3>What is energy radiation?</h3>

The emissivity of a substance is a measurement of how well it reflects heat radiation from its surface.
Two elements that affect power dissipation in the form of radiation are the material's surface emissivity and the temperature difference between the chip surface and the surrounding air.
