Answer:

A number of things

Explanation:

When a light wave with a single frequency strikes an object, a number of things could happen. The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object

Based on relative bond strengths, classify these reactions as endothermic (energy absorbed) or exothermic (energy released)

cluponka [151]

<span>Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy. This reaction releases heat energy or light . In an endotermic reaction energy is used. Enthaply is the heat energy change , delta H. If the sum of the enthalpies of the reactans is greater than the products the reaction is exothermic. If the products side has a larger enthaply than the process is endothermic. So, if delta H is negative then the process is exothermic. If delta H is positive, than the process is endothermic. Exothermic are: A+BC -> AB+C A2+B2 -> 2AB Endothermic are:AB+C -> AC+B A2 + C2 -> 2AC B2+C2 -> 2BC</span>

You drive a car 640 m to the east, then 340 m to the north what is the magnitude of your displacement

mixer [17]

Magnitude of displacement = $\sqrt{640^2 + 340^2}$

Adding the squares gives displacement = $\sqrt{525,200}$

Displacement = $\sqrt{525,200}$ ≈ 724.7m

in the circuit diagram even in suppose the resistor R1 R2 and R3 have the value of 5 ohm 10 ohm 30 ohm respectively which have b

<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

Three identical resistors of resistances 5Ω, 10Ω and 30Ω are connected with a battery of 12V $.$

We have to find current through the each resistor and equivalent resistance of circuit $.$

<h3><u>SoluTion</u> :</h3>

➝ Equivalent resistance of series connection is given by

<u>R = R1 + R2 + R3</u>

➝ We know that, Equal current flow through each resistor in series connection.

➝ As per ohm's law, Current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

<u>V = IR</u>

◈ <u>Equivalent resistance</u> :

⇒ Req = R1 + R2 + R3

⇒ Req = 5 + 10 + 30

⇒ <u>Req = 45Ω</u>

◈ <u>Current flow in circuit</u> :

⇒ V = IReq

⇒ 12 = I × 45

⇒ <u>I = 0.27A</u>

፨ Therefore, 0.27A current will flow through each resistor.

A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.

ahrayia [7]

The first step would be to create an electromagnet. You can create an electromagnet by winding a copper wire around the nail, the connect both ends to the battery. A current would start flowing around the nail through the wire, creating an electromagnet with its own magnetic field. Next, bringing the electromagnet to the mixture of copper and iron would slowly attract the pieces of iron (as copper is weakly magnetic). Do this slowly and the iron pieces would all slowly be separated from the copper pieces.
