<h3>Answer:</h3>

225 meters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object in motion.

In our case we are given;

Acceleration, a = 2.0 m/s²

Time, t = 15 s

We are required to find the length of the slope;

Assuming the student started at rest, then the initial velocity, V₀ is Zero.

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the final velocity, Vf</h3>

Using the equation of linear motion;

Vf = V₀ + at

Therefore;

Vf = 0 + (2 × 15)

= 30 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the student is 30 m/s

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the length (displacement) of the slope </h3>

Using the other equation of linear motion;

S = 0.5 at + V₀t

We can calculate the length, S of the slope

That is;

S = (0.5 × 2 × 15² ) - (0 × 15)

= 225 m

Therefore, the length of the slope is 225 m

Three resistors are wired in parallel with a battery. Two of the resistors have resistances of 38.7 Q/ and 89.5 Q. The current i

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$214.9 \Omega$

Explanation:

The three resistors are connected in parallel: this means that the potential difference across each resistor is the same as the voltage of the battery. This can be calculated using the information about the $38.7 \Omega$ resistor: in fact, since we know its resistance and the current flowing through it (0.155 A), we can find the potential difference across this resistor, which is equal to the voltage of the battery:

$V=IR=(0.155 A)(38.7 \Omega)=6.0 V$

We also know the total current in the circuit, 0.250 A. This means that we can find the total resistance of the circuit, using Ohm's law:

$R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{6.0 V}{0.250 A}=24 \Omega$

So now we now the total resistance and the resistance of two of the 3 resistors; therefore, we can find the resistance of the 3rd resistor:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}\\\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{24 \Omega}-\frac{1}{38.7\Omega}-\frac{1}{89.5\Omega}=0.00465 \Omega^{-1}\\R_3=\frac{1}{0.00465 \Omega^{-1}}=214.9 \Omega$

telo118 [61]

Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.
