Calculate the total resistance in a series circuit made up of resistances of 3Ω, 4Ω, and 5Ω.

1 answer:

7 0

The equivalent resistance of three resistors in series is given by the sum of the resistances:
$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3$
In this circuit, the value of the three resistances is:
$R_1=3 \Omega$
$R_2=4 \Omega$
$R_3=5 \Omega$
Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is:
$R_{eq}=3 \Omega+4 \Omega + 5 \Omega =12 \Omega$

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?

lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.

Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.

Hope this helps! :)

Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it conta

shtirl [24]

Answer:

1020 km

Explanation:

A complete rotation of the wheel equals a distance of 1 circumference.

The circumference is

$C = \pi d$

where d is the diameter of the wheel.

300,000 rotations = $300000\pi d = 300000\times\pi\times1.08\text{ m} = 1017876.0\ldots\text{ m}$

In kilometers, this is = 1017876/1000 km = 1020 km

Please help, it's grade 7 science. :)

Answer:

The air in the soccer ball in cold weather will decrease slightly in size and it becomes flat. The air in the soccer ball in hot weather will seem flat because the low preasure leads to lower bounce in the ball.

The metal door frame in cold weather contracts and the wood contracts more in the winter. The metal door frame in hot weather thermal blowing can occur on the outer surface of the metal door frame. Hopefully that is what you were looking for have a good day.

A centrifugal pump is operating at a flow rate of 1 m3/s and a head of 20 m. If the specific weight of water is 9800 N/m3 and th

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The power required by the pump is nearly 230.588 kW

Explanation:

Flow rate of the pump Q = 1 m^3/s

the head flow H = 20 m

specific weight of water γ = 9800 N/m^3

efficiency of the pump η = 85%

First note that specific gravity of water is the product of the density of water and acceleration due to gravity.

γ = ρg

where ρ is density. For water its value is 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

The power to lift this water at this rate will be gotten from the equation

P = ρgQH

but ρg = γ

therefore,

P = γQH

imputing values, we'll have

P = 9800 x 1 x 20 = 196000 W

But the centrifugal pump that will be used will only be able to lift this amount of water after the efficiency factor has been considered. The power of pump needed must be greater than this power.

we can say that

196000 W is 85% of the power of the pump power needed, therefore

196000 = 85% of $P_{p}$

where $P_{p}$ is the power of the pump needed

85% = 0.85

196000 = 0.85 $P_{p}$

$P_{p}$ = 196000/0.85 = 230588.24 W

Pump power = 230.588 kW
