The position of the sun must be at the horizon in order for the rainbow to appear.
The relative positions of the sun and plane make the rainbow appear as a full circle.
However, if the sun is at the horizon, the shadow of the plane will be behind the plane, not below it; this means that the shadow of the plane will not fall on the earth.

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega
