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

A scuba diver measures an increase in pressure of around 10^5 Pa upon descending by 10 m, what is the change in force per square
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Pressure around scuba is

P = 10^5 Pa

1 Pa = 1 N/m²

Then

P = 10^5 N/m²

Descending height

h = 10m

Change in force per unit square centimetre

We know that,

Pressure = Force / Area

Then,

Force / Area is the required question we are finding

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N / m²

So, let convert the m² to cm²

100cm = 1m

(100cm)² = (1m)²

10⁴cm² = 1m²

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N/m² × 1m² / 10⁴cm²

Force / Area = 10 N/cm²

So, the force per unit square centimeters is 10.

How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds
Virty [35]
We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high

What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T Subscript C Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline EndFraction times 100. Efficiency equals T Subscript c Baseline minus T Subscript h Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline all times 100.
