Answer:

(a) 2.33 A

(b) 15.075 V

Explanation:

From the question,

The total resistance (Rt) = R1+R2 = 3.85+6.47

R(t) = 10.32 ohms.

Applying ohm's law,

V = IR(t)..........equation 1

Where V = Emf of the battery, I = current flowing through the circuit, R(t) = combined resistance of both resistors.

Note: Since both resistors are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same.

Therefore,

I = V/R(t)............. Equation 2

Given: V = 24 V, R(t) = 10.32 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 24/10.32

I = 2.33 A.

Hence the current through R1 = 2.33 A.

V2 = IR2.............. Equation 3

V2 = 2.33(6.47)

V2 = 15.075 V

When it reaches an altitude of 3600 m, where the temperature is 5.0∘C and the pressure only 0.68 atm, how will its volume compar
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The question was incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Explanation:

A helium-filled balloon escapes a child’s hand at sea level and 20.0C. When it reaches an altitude of 3600 m, where the temperature is 5.0∘C and the pressure only 0.68 atm, how will its volume compare to that at sea level?

The ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

P = absolute pressure

V = Volume of a gas

n = no of moles of a gas

R = ideal gas constant

T = Absolute temperature of a gas

For initial and final states:

P_{i}V_{i} = nRT_{i}   \\P_{f}V_{f} = nRT_{f}   \\\frac{V_{f} }{V_{i} } = \frac{P_{i}T_{f} }{P_{f}T_{i} }

= 1.4

If youre walking from point a to b, the magnitude of your displacement will always be equal or less than or greater than your di
xenn [34]

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered.  But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive

Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>

The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.
