Answer:

The answer for this is that for converting lead into gold we need to change the amount of protons in lead which with help in converting it to the gold.

Explanation:

Lead (atomic number is 82) and gold (atomic number is 79) are characterized by the protons density which they possess as components. Changing the factor involves modification of the amount of the atom (proton). It is difficult to change the amount of protons in an atom through any chemical Reaction.

Physics can, therefore, be used to attach or subtract protons and thereby turn one part into another. Since lead is solid, it is pushed out and the gold is surpassed.

A force vector F1 points due east and has a magnitude of 200N. A second force F2 is added to F1. The resultant of the two vector
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The second vector \vec{F_2} points due West with a magnitude of 600N

Explanation:

The original vector \vec{F_1} points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector \vec{R} points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of  400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}\implies\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}-\vec{F_1}=-400N-200N=-600N

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.

A current of 2 A flows through a resistor. The voltage across the resistor is 18 V.
stepan [7]

Answer:

R=9\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 2 A

Voltage across the resistor, V = 18 V

We need to find the value of resistance of the resistor. Let the resistance be R. We can find it using Ohm's law i.e.

V = IR

Where

R is the resistance of the resistor

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\R=9\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the resistor is equal to 9\ \Omega.
