<h2>Answer:</h2>

786Ω and 20.32Ω respectively.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) Given a number of resistors each with its own resistance, the largest resistance can be obtained when these resistors are connected in series.

From the question, the resistors have the following resistances;

36.0-Ω, 50.0-Ω , and 700-Ω

Now, when they are connected in series, the total resistance (R) obtainable is given by the sum of these individual resistances as follows;

R = 36.0-Ω + 50.0-Ω + 700-Ω

R = 786Ω

Therefore, the largest resistance that can be obtained by connecting a 36.0-Ω , a 50.0-Ω , and a 700-Ω resistor together is 786Ω

(b) Similarly, given a number of resistors each with its own resistance, the smallest resistance can be obtained when these resistors are connected in parallel.

From the question, the resistors have the following resistances;

36.0-Ω, 50.0-Ω , and 700-Ω

Now, when they are connected in parallel, the total resistance (R) obtainable is given by using the relation as follows;

$\frac{1}{R}$ = $\frac{1}{36.0}$ + $\frac{1}{50.0}$ + $\frac{1}{700.0}$

$\frac{1}{R}$ = $\frac{35000+25200+1800}{1260000}$

$\frac{1}{R}$ = $\frac{62000}{1260000}$

$\frac{1}{R}$ = $\frac{62}{1260}$

R = $\frac{1260}{62}$

R = 20.32Ω

Therefore, the smallest resistance that can be obtained by connecting a 36.0-Ω , a 50.0-Ω , and a 700-Ω resistor together is 20.32Ω

A man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 6 feet per second away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:(a)10 ft/s

(b)4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of light $=15 feet$

height of man $=6 feet$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=6 ft/s$

From diagram

$\frac{15}{y}=\frac{6}{y-x}$

$5(y-x)=2y$

$3y=5x$

differentiate both sides

$3\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=5\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Tip of shadow is moving at the rate of

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{5}{3}\times 6=10 ft/s$

(b)rate at which length of his shadow is changing

Length of shadow is $y-x$

differentiating w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}-\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=10-6=4 ft/s$

\. A mixture of gases con-tains oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor. What physical process could you use to remove the water vapor

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Condensation.

Explanation:

The boiling point of water is much higher than that of either nitrogen or oxygen gas . So when the mixture is condensed to a temperature lower than

100°C , water vapor will come out first in the form of water leaving other

elements of mixture in gaseous phase. In this way, water vapor will get separated from others.

PLZZ HELP ASAP!!

Nimfa-mama [501]

Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment with a complex system of equipment and environmental systems designed to keep the wearer comfortable, and to minimize the effort required to bend the limbs, resisting a soft pressure garment's natural tendency to stiffen against the vacuum. A self-contained oxygen supply and environmental control system is frequently employed to allow complete freedom of movement, independent of the spacecraft.
Three types of spacesuits exist for different purposes: IVA (intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity). IVA suits are meant to be worn inside a pressurized spacecraft, and are therefore lighter and more comfortable. IEVA suits are meant for use inside and outside the spacecraft, such as the Gemini G4C suit. They include more protection from the harsh conditions of space, such as protection from micrometeorites and extreme temperature change. EVA suits, such as the EMU, are used outside spacecraft, for either planetary exploration or spacewalks. They must protect the wearer against all conditions of space, as well as provide mobility and functionality.

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.

pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

$h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t = 6.55 \ s$

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

$X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Which expression of distance uses SI units? A. 30 miles B. 16 kilograms C. 24 feet D. 500 meters

Stella [2.4K]

Hi!

SI units are physical measurements which will be in the form of kilograms, second, kelvin, metres, etc.

Since kilograms measure the weight of an object, it is out. Miles and feet are not SI units, so they are also out. This only leaves one answer left!

Hopefully, this helps! =)
