Answer: Please see below the explanation.

Explanation:

The Celsius (ºC) and Farenheit (ºF), are different temperature scales, but both have identifiable values for two important physical phenomena, water freezing point and water boiling point.

For º C, these are follows:

Freezing Point= 0º C Boiling Point: 100ºC

For º F, we have the following:

Freezing Point= 32º F Boiling Point: 212 ºF

Assuming that all steps (in each scale) between two following values are equal, we have 100 º C between both points in ºC, and 190º in ºF, so degrees in Farenheit are "shorter" than in Celsius, being the relationship, approximately the following:

1 º C = 9/5 ºF.

Taking into account that, by definition, 0ºC = 32º F, we can use the following equations in order to convert ºC to ºF, and viceversa:

ºC = (ºF-32) 5/9

ºF = 32 + 9/5ºC

Now, let's calculate -40ºF, in ºC:

ºC= (-40-32)* 5/9 = -40º C

Let's do the same, converting -40ºC to ºF:

ºF = 32 + (-40)*9/5 = 32 + (-72) = -40ºF.

For a given set of input values, a NAND gate produces the opposite output as an OR gate with inverted inputs.A. True

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a given set of input values, A NAND gate produces exactly the same values as an OR gate with inverted inputs.

The truth table for a NAND gate with 2 inputs is as follows:

0 0 1

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 0

The truth table for an OR gate, is as follows:

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 1

If we add two extra columns for inverted inputs, the truth table will be this one:

0 0 1 1 1

0 1 1 0 1

1 0 0 1 1

1 1 0 0 0

which is the same as for the NAND gate, not the opposite, so the statement is false.

This means that the right choice is B.

Carbon resistors often come as a brown cylinder with colored bands. These colored bands can be read to determine the manufacture

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

a) 4.7 kΩ, +/- 5%

b) 2.0 MΩ, +/- 20%

Explanation:

a) If the resistor has the following combination of color bands:

1) Yellow = 1st digit = 4

2) Violet = 2nd digit = 7

3) Red = multiplier = 10e2

4) Gold = tolerance = +/- 5%

this means that the resistor has 4700 Ω (or 4.7 kΩ), with 5% tolerance.

b) Repeating the process for the following combination of color bands:

1) Red = 1st digit = 2

2) Black = 2nd digit = 0

3) Green = multiplier = 10e5

4) Nothing = tolerance = +/- 20%

This combination represents to a resistor of 2*10⁶ Ω (or 2.0 MΩ), with +/- 20% tolerance.

About what thickness of aluminum is needed to stop a beam of (a) 2.5-MeV electrons, (b) 2.5-MeV protons, and (c) 10-MeV alpha pa

Nana76 [90]

The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>Thickness of the aluminum</h3>

The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.

$K.E = \frac{2KZe^2}{r}$

where;

Z is the atomic number of aluminium = 13
e is charge
r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

<h3>For 2.5 MeV electrons</h3>

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{2.5 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

<h3>For 2.5 MeV protons</h3>

Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>

Charge of alpah particle = 2e

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (2 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{10 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

Compared to 15 mph on a dry road, about how much longer will it take for

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

8 to 10 times

Explanation:

For dry road

u= 15 mph ( 1 mph = 0.44 m/s)

u= 6.7 m/s

Let take coefficient of friction( μ) of dry road is 0.7

So the de acceleration a = μ g

a= 0.7 x 10 m/s ² ( g=10 m/s ²)

a= 7 m/s ²

We know that

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 6.7 - 7 x t

t= 0.95 s

For snow road

μ = 0.4

de acceleration a = μ g

a = 0.4 x 10 = 4 m/s ²

u= 30 mph= 13.41 m/s

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 30 - 4 x t'

t'=7.5 s

t'=7.8 t

We can say that it will take 8 to 10 times more time as compare to dry road for stopping the vehicle.
