A particular type of resistor has a tolerance of 3%. Technician A says this indicates that the resistor’s current value can be 3

% above or below its stated specification. Technician B says this indicates the resistor’s resistance value can be 3% above or below its stated specification. Who is right?

Answer:

Technician B is correct.

Explanation:

The given value of resistor having 3% tolerance means that the given quantity of the physical parameter can vary by 3% of what is specified. This variation can be either more or less than the quantified value.

  • When the variation can occur on both sides of the stated value then it is called bilateral tolerance, usually represented as, \pm3\%.
  • When the variation is permissible only in one direction then it is called unilateral tolerance, represented by the sign + for the impressibility on the higher side and - sign for the impressibility on the lower side.

Could a mixture be made up of only elements and no compounds. if so explain
Irina18 [472]

I racked my brain for almost 10 minutes, until suddenly,
it hit me !

You're breathing one right now !  So am I .

Air is a mixture of a lot of elements. 
Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon account for  99.964 percent.

The other 0.036 percent is mainly Neon, Helium, Krypton,
and Hydrogen ... more elements.

Then there are Carbon Dioxide and water vapor.
Yes, those are compounds.  But together, they add up
to very little of the air we breathe, and if both of them
suddenly disappeared, we would hardly notice it.

The water from a fire hose follows a path described by y equals 3.0 plus 0.8 x minus 0.40 x squared ​(units are in​ meters). If
ivanzaharov [21]

Explanation:

It is given that, the water from a fire hose follows a path described by equation :

y=3+0.8x-0.4x^2........(1)

The x component of constant velocity, v_x=5\ m/s

We need to find the resultant velocity at the point (2,3).

Let \dfrac{dx}{dt}=v_x and \dfrac{dy}{dt}=v_y

Differentiating equation (1) wrt t as,

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0.8\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}-0.8x\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}

v_y=0.8\times v_x-0.8x\times v_x

v_y=0.8v_x(1-x)

When x = 2 and v_x=5\ m/s

So,

v_y=0.8\times 5\times (1-2)

v_y=-4\ m/s

Resultant velocity, v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

v=\sqrt{5^2+(-4)^2}

v = 6.4 m/s

So, the resultant velocity at point (2,3) is 6.4 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A woman is listening to her radio, which is 174 m from the radio station transmitter. (a) How many wavelengths of the radio wave
vladimir2022 [97]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The distance between the radio and the radio station is 174 m

We need to find how many wavelengths of the radio waves are there between the transmitter and radio receiver if the woman is listening to an AM radio station broadcasting at 1540 kHz.

f = 1540 kHz

Wavelength,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1540\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=194.8\ m

Let there are n wavelengths of the radio waves. So,

n=\dfrac{d}{\lambda}\\\\n=\dfrac{174}{194.8}\\\\n=0.89\ \text{wavelengths}

There are 0.89 wavelengths.
