How many 176 ohm resistors are connected in series to get a current of 5 a on 220 v battey

1 answer:

4 0

Total resistance = voltage / current = 220 / 5 = 44 ohms .

Even one 176-ohm resistor is too much. The current through it is 1.25 A,
and more than one of them in series reduces the current even further.

Connecting them in parallel, however . . .

Four resistors of 176-ohms each, in parallel, have a net effective resistance
of 176/4 = 44 ohms ... exactly what you need to do the job.

The sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuc

Kipish [7]

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

$n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta$

$1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta$

solving for $\theta$

$sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}$

$\theta = 22 degree$

from shadow- stick traingle

$tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}$

$s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta$

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 0.80 nm ? express the frequency in inverse seconds to three significant d

Mashcka [7]

The relationship between the frequency (f) of an electromagnetic wave, the speed of the wave (which is the speed of light, c) and its wavelength $\lambda$ is given by
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}$

Since the wavelength of the radiation in the problem is $\lambda= 0.80 nm = 0.80 \cdot 10^{-9} m$ , by substituting numbers in the formula we can get the frequency:
$f= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{0.80 \cdot 10^{-9} m} =3.75 \cdot 10^{17} s^{-1}$

Precipitation clouds are observed at a distance of about 720 miles to the west of a city. The clouds are seen moving westwards a

tankabanditka [31]

This question may require more information for an accurate answer. If the clouds are observed west of the city and they are moving in a westerly direction it means that the clouds are moving away. Precipitation refers to rainfall, sleet, hail or snow. Since no reference was made to the temperature, season or location of the city it could be rain or snow clouds. The clouds are moving away from the city so the possible answers could be b. or d. Furthermore, by dividing the distance by the speed one would get an answer of twenty four hours. So even if the clouds were moving towards the city it would take a day to reach and precipitation would not be likely in 24 hrs.

An object that has lost its electrons become?

Andrej [43]

Answer: A positively charged ion/ cation

Explanation: When an atom loses all of its electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion. Also referred to as the cation, the object will have a shortage of electrons, leading to a positive charge. Keep in mind that an atom will become positive if it loses electrons, and will become negative if it gains electrons.
