Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The Camden holds a volume of

V = 2,000,000 gallons

At a height of

h = 24 m

We want to find the potential energy.

And potential energy can be calculated using

P.E = mgh

Where

m is the mass

g Is the acceleration due to gravity

h Is the height.

Given that,

Then volume is

V = 2,000,000 gallons

From research.

1 gallon ≈ 3.785 kg

Then,

2,000,000 gallons = 2,000,000 × 3.785 kg

So,

P.E = mgh

P.E = 2,000,000 × 3.785 × 9.81 × 24

P.E = 1.782 × 10^9 J.

Which of the following is most closely related to the specific heat of a substance?A. its temperatureB. its melting pointC. its

swat32

Answer:

option (C)

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of unit mass by unit degree is called specific heat of that substance.

Its SI unit is Joule / Kg °C.

Every material has a constant value of specific heat.

So, option (c) is correct.

Could someone answer this?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Here the circuit in which a 4Ω resistor resistor is connected in series and two 8Ω resistor resistors are connected in parallel. Also, ammeter and voltmeter connected in series and parallel circuit respectively.

Now,

The maximum power of each resistance is 16 W

The 4Ω resistor is linked in series with the circuit.

so, P o w e r = I

two

R, here i is the current through the resistor resistor R

1 6 = I

two

∗ 4 Ω

i = 2A

Now 2A passes through parallel resistors of 8Ω resistance.

we know that, in parallel, the potential difference must be constant,

the current is divided into two parts, because the same resistance current in each resistance will be half. then the current through each resistor in parallel is

2 A

two

= 1 A

So finally the current through the 4Ω resistor = 2 A

current through each 8Ω resistor = 1 A

Which of these is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds on the eastern Pacific Ocean?

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding.

Explanation:

The other options of the question were A) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing drought. B) Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing drought. D) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing heavy rain and flooding,

The statement that is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds in the Pacific Northwest to the United States is "Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding."

We are talking about climate or weather terminology. In this case, we are referring to the "El Niño" (the Children) effect. Its presence affects the weather in North America. This phenomenon combines with the "La Niña) effect and it presents itself every two to seven years, ad they last from 8 to 12 months, affecting the weather conditions of the region.

A circuit consists of a battery connected to three resistors (65 ω, 25ω, and 170ω) in parallel. the total current through the re

White raven [17]

A. To find the total emf of the battery, just remember that in a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same throughout the circuit. So you can get the total voltage of the circuit by using Ohm's Law.

$I= \frac{V}{R}$

Where:
I = current (A)
V = Voltage (V) (emf)
R = Resitance (Ω)

Now you can derive the formula of Voltage by transposing the Resistance to the other side of the equation to isolate Voltage. The formula you will now use will be:
$V = IR$

However, you cannot solve this yet because the resistance you need is the total resistance in the circuit. To do this, you need to get the total resistance in this parallel circuit and the formula would be:

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+ \frac{1}{R_{2}}+ \frac{1}{R_{3}}...+ \frac{1}{R_{n}}$

You have three resistors with the following resistance:
65Ω, 25Ω and 170Ω
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+ \frac{1}{R_{2}}+ \frac{1}{R_{3}}...+ \frac{1}{R_{n}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{65}}+ \frac{1}{R_{25}}+ \frac{1}{R_{170}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} =0.0153+0.04+0.006+0.0059$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} =0.0613$

Get the reciprocal of both sides and divide:

$R_{T} = \frac{1}{0.0613} =16.32$

The total resistance then is 16.32Ω

Now that you have the total resistance, you can solve for the total voltage:
$V = IR$
$V = (1.8)(16.32)$
$V = 29.376V$

The emf of the battery is 29.376V

B. To find the resistance in each resistor, just apply Ohm's law again. In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same, but the current that runs through it is different for each resistor. Now just solve for the current of each using the same voltage.

Resistor 1: 65Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{65}$
$I= 0.45A$

The current flowing through resistor 1 with a resistance of 65Ω is 0.45A.

Resistor 2: 25Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{25}$
$I= 1.18A$
The current flowing through resistor 2 with a resistance of 25Ω is 1.18A.

Resistor 3: 170Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{170}$
$I= 0.17A$

The current flowing through resistor 3 with a resistance of 170Ω is 0.17A.

If you add up all their current it confirms the given that the total current running through all of them is 1.8A.
