1 answer:

4 0

Because many fuels are fossil fuels they take millions of years to form and the known reserves are being used much faster than the new ones being made

Bacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 2.9 μm is not unusual.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

b) 17 x 10^-6 mm^2

Explanation

a). The shape is assumed to be spherical The volume = volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

πr

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.142* 1.15^3

∗3.142∗1.15

= 6.3715 μm^3

1 μm^3 = 10^-12 cm^3

6.3715 μm^3 = 6.3715 x 10^-12 cm^3

==> 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

A motorcycle is moving at 30 m/s when the rider applies the brakes, giving the motorcycle a constant deceleration. During the 3.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the distance that the motorcycle travelled we first need to obtain the acceleration rate that was used to brake the vehicle. We do that by using the following formula:

a = (V_final - V_initial)/(t) = (15 - 30)/(3.1) = -4.84 m/s^2

The distance is given by the following formula:

S = (V_final^2 - V_initial^2)/(2*a)

S = (15^2 - 30^2)/[2*(-4.84)] = (225 - 900)/(-9.68) = -675/(-9.68) = 69.73 m

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

As more and more resistors are added in parallel to a circuit, the equivalent resistance of the circuit ____________ (increases,

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Decreases, Increases

Explanation:

Resistance is parallel can be calculated using

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

Then, as more resistor is added in parallel the equivalent resistance is reduced.

Let use a simple sample

Let all the resistor have equal resistances

Let say R = R1 = R2 = R3 =...Rn

Then, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +.... 1/Rn

Req = R/n

Check attachment on how I got that.

This implies that, the equivalent resistance will always be less than the original resistance, since n>1

So, as n increases (I.e. as the number of resistance increases), the equivalent resistance reduces.

B. Now, to know if the current reduces or increases

Using Ohms law

V = iR

Then, I = V/R

So, let assume the voltage is constant, then, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as we know that the resistance is reducing, then the current will be increasing.

So current increase as we add more resistor in parallel to a circuit
