Answer:

0.2 A

Explanation:

Current: This is the rate of flow of charge in a circuit. The S.I unit of charge is Ampere (A).

Note: When resistors are connected in parallel, the total current is equal to the sum of the individual current in each resistor.

It = I1 + I2 + I3......................... Equation 1

Where,

It = Total current, I1 = current in the first resistor, I2 = current in the second resistor, I3 = current in the third resistor.

Given: It = 0.71 A, I1 = 0.27 A, I2 = 0.24 A.

Substitute into equation 1

0.71 = 0.27+0.24+I3

0.71 = 0.51+I3

I3 = 0.2 A.

Hence the current through the third resistor = 0.2 A

Which of the following examples illustrates static friction?
vivado [14]

Answer:

A box sits stationary  on a ramp

Explanation:

Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.

Static force of friction is calculated as follows:

F= μη

F is static force of friction.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

η is the normal force.

a snail can move approximately 0.30 meters per minute.How many meters can the snail cover in 15 minutes ?
hichkok12 [17]
Sometimes if you have the word per, you need to multiply. In this problem, they are asking you to find the amount of meters a snail can travel per minute.They are giving you the amount of minutes, so in this case you multiply 15 times 0.30. The answer is 4.5 meters.

murzikaleks [220]
The description of the question provided above points out to the famous Big Bang Theory. In addition, this theory is among the most accepted by cosmologists because it fits like a glove to the phenomenon the universe is experiencing right now: it is expanding and distances between celestial bodies are getting farther and farther.

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the number of slits increases, the intensity of fringes increases.

So, the fringes appear to be more bright.

As we know that the fringe width is inversely proportional to the number of slits, so as the number of slits increases, the fringe width decreases, hence the fringes are narrower, bright and close together.
