... The top branch of the 3-branched parallel block ... the 9 and 6 in series ...
is equivalent to a single resistor of 15 ohms.
... The 3-branched parallel block boils down to (30, 10, and 15) in parallel.
That's (1/30 + 1/10 + 1/15)⁻¹ = 5 ohms.
... The 5-ohm-equivalent block and the 20-ohm resistor form a
voltage divider across the battery.
The voltage across the 5-ohm-equivalent block is (5/25 x 30v) = 6v .
... The top branch of the block is equivalent to a (9 + 6) = 15-ohmer.
With 6v across its ends, the current through that branch is (6/15) = 0.4A .
... With 0.4A flowing through it, the 9-ohm resistor is dissipating
I²R = (0.4A)² (9 ohms) = (0.16 A²) (9 ohms) = 1.44 W (choice-3)
Around 8 hours and 20 minutes
Explanation:
I divided 500 by 60 and got 8.3333333333 and i round it up to 8.20, so it is 8 hours and 20 minutes.
Answer:
Transverse
Explanation:
There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:
- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves
- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.
