Answer:R=7.12ohms

Explanation:

Emf (electromotive force) is the source of energy in an electric circuit. It is also the sum of all potential drops across loads in an electric circuit.

Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in an electric circuit. The presence of a load therefore tends to restrict the current flowing through it.

According to ohm's law, E=IR

E is the emf

I is the current

R is effective resistance (load can be connected in series or parallel)

According to the question, Emf = 1.50V, current(I) =0.17A and terminal voltage V =1.40V

First we need to get the internal resistance (r), from the formula

Terminal voltage V = E -Ir where r is the internal resistance

Substituting

1.40=1.50-0.17r

1.40-1.50=-0.17r

-0.1=-0.17r

r=-0.17/-0.1

r= 1.7ohms

To get R, using E=I(R+r) since the load is in series with internal resistance,we add both to get our effective resistance

1.50=0.17(R+1.7)

1.50=0.17R+0.289

1.50-0.289=0.17R

1.211=0.17R

R=1.211/0.17

R=7.12ohms.

If 0.035pC of charge is transferred via the movement of Al3+ ions, how's many of these must be transferred in total? Please add
mr Goodwill [35]

Each Al^+^3 ion contains three extra protons. Hence, the extra charge on each  Al^+^3 = 3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9 C

Total charge = 0.035 pC

Total charge (Q) = 0.035 \times 10^-^1^2 C

Let the number of Al^+^3 ions be n.

According to question:

n \times 3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9 =0.035 \times 10^-^1^2

n = \frac{0.035 \times 10^-^1^2}{3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9}

n = 7.29167 \times 10^4

n = 72917

Hence, the total number of ions needed to be transferred is 72917

Explain the law of conversion of energy with an example and explain it ​
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. ... The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down.

Until a train is a safe distance from the station, it must travel at 5 m/s. Once the train is on open track, it can speec
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

let the initial velocity of a train = 5 m/s and

final velocity of a train = 45 m/s

time taken = 8 s

To find:

acceleration: ?

Solution:

We define acceleration as change in velocity per unit time that is the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity divided by time.

Acceleration = \frac{\textrm{final velocity} - \textrm{initial velocity}}{time} \\

On substituting the above values we get the required acceleration

Acceleration = \frac{45 - 5}{8}\\ =\frac{40}{8}\\ =5\ m/s^{2}

Therefore,the acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².
