Her weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

Work = (weight) · (height) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (6 m)

Power = (work) / (time) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (6 m) / (15 s)

Power = (50 · 9.8 · 6 / 15) · (kg · m² / s³)

Power = 196 (kg · m / s²) · (m) / s

Power = 196 Newton-meter/second

<em>Power = 196 watts</em>

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

$r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} }$ (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

$E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

$5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}$

Replacing in equation 1

$r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2} }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m$

A 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts and connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the combination.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

2Ω

Explanation:

If a 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts each of the resistance will be 18Ω/3 = 6Ω

Equivalent ratio in parallel is expressed as:

1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6

1/R = 3/6

Cross multiply

3R = 6

R = 6/3

R = 2Ω

Hence the required equivalent resistance is 2Ω
