Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m

what is the potential difference across the headlight bulbs when the starter motor is operated, requiring an additional 39 a fro
frosja888 [35]

The starter motor's potential difference across the headlight bulbs is 38.45V, requiring an additional 39 a from the battery. Voltage, also known as potential difference.

It is sometimes described as the amount of work needed to move a test charge between two sites, expressed as a unit of charge. Volt is the potential difference's SI unit (V). We only take into account the charge between the locations P and Q when current moves between them in an electric circuit. Electric potential difference between two sites is referred to as voltage, also known as electric pressure, electric tension, or (electric) potential difference. an electric field that is static.

Vh = I*Rn

Vh = 39/5.476*5.40v

Vh = 38.45v

Explain how a compass works using scientific terminology.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.
