Answer:

(B) 0.06W

Explanation:

power absorbed by the resistor is given by $\frac{V^2}{R}=I^2R$

Where V = voltage

R= resistance

I = current through the circuit

we have given V =12 Volt and resistance =2.4 K $\Omega$

current $I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{12}{2.4\times 1000}=5\times 10^{-3}A=5mA$

power using voltage and resistance equation

$p=\frac{12^2}{2.4\times 1000}=60mW$ =0.06W

using current equation $P=I^2R=5^2\times 12=60mW$ = 0.06W

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) = 81.6 newtons .

Particle q₁ has a charge of 2.7 μC and a velocity of 773 m/s. If it experiences a magnetic force of 5.75 × 10⁻³ N, what is the s

Ne4ueva [31]

The intensity of the magnetic force F experienced by a charge q moving with speed v in a magnetic field of intensity B is equal to
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the directions of v and B.

1) Re-arranging the previous formula, we can calculate the value of the magnetic field intensity. The charge is $q=2.7 \mu C=2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C$ . In this case, v and B are perpendicular, so $\theta=90^{\circ}$ , therefore we have:
$B= \frac{F}{qv \sin \theta} = \frac{5.75 \cdot 10^{-3}N}{(2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(773m/s)\sin 90^{\circ}}=2.8 T$

2) In this second case, the angle between v and B is $\theta=55^{\circ}$ . The charge is now $q=42.0 \mu C=42.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C$ , and the magnetic field is the one we found in the previous part, B=2.8 T, so we can find the intensity of the force experienced by this second charge:
$F=qvB \sin \theta=(42\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.21 \cdot 10^3 m/s)(2.8 T)(\sin 55^{\circ})=0.12 N$

Water enters a cylindrical tank through two pipes at rates of 250 and 100 gal/min. If the level of the water in the tank remains

tester [92]

Answer:

The total amount of water that enters the tank is:

250 gal/min + 100 gal/min = 350gal/min.

Then, if the level of the water remains constant, this means that the water leaves the tank at a rate of 350gal/min.

We know that the diameter of the pipe is 8 inches, then the area of the pipe is:

A = pi*(d/2)^2 = 3.14*(4in)^2 = 50.24in^2

now, the flow can be calculated as:

Q = v*A = (velocity*area)

if we want to write our velocity in inches per minute, then we need to write the entering flow in cubic inches:

1 gallon = 231 in^3

then:

350gal/min = (350*231) in^3/min = 80,850 in^3/min.

Then the water that leaves the tank must be the same amoun, we have:

Q = 80,850 in^3/min. = v*A = v*50.24in^2

v = (80,850in^3/min)/50.24in^2 = 1609.3 in/min.

The velocity of the flow leaving the tank is 1609.3 in/min.

During a normal reaction to a stressful event, muscles are moved to their maximum capacity, and sensitivity is

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The paper focuses on the biology of stress and resilience and their biomarkers in humans from the system science perspective. A stressor pushes the physiological system away from its baseline state toward a lower utility state. The physiological system may return toward the original state in one attractor basin but may be shifted to a state in another, lower utility attractor basin. While some physiological changes induced by stressors may benefit health, there is often a chronic wear and tear cost due to implementing changes to enable the return of the system to its baseline state and maintain itself in the high utility baseline attractor basin following repeated perturbations. This cost, also called allostatic load, is the utility reduction associated with both a change in state and with alterations in the attractor basin that affect system responses following future perturbations. This added cost can increase the time course of the return to baseline or the likelihood of moving into a different attractor basin following a perturbation. Opposite to this is the system's resilience which influences its ability to return to the high utility attractor basin following a perturbation by increasing the likelihood and/or speed of returning to the baseline state following a stressor. This review paper is a qualitative systematic review; it covers areas most relevant for moving the stress and resilience field forward from a more quantitative and neuroscientific perspective.
