Answer: 17cm.

Explanation:

The equation you're using is:

Δd = df - di

Which means the change in position is equal to the final position minus the starting position. In this case that works out to 20cm - 3cm = 17cm. We're only interested in how much the snail moved, not how long it took to move, so even though they give a time it actually doesn't matter for this question.

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?

Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

$I_{total}=I_1=I_2$

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

$V_{total}=V_1+V_2$

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

$R_{total}=R_1+R_2$

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

$R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega$

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

$V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A$

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

How does geomagnetism help scientist understand the motion of earth’s plates?

xeze [42]

Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.

Explain maximum and minimum thermometer working(answer only for points will be reported)

belka [17]

Explanation:

Six’s Maximum and Minimum thermometer is a U shaped parallel tube made up of glass. One side registers the maximum temperature and the other side records the minimum temperature.
The bend at the bottom of the thermometer contains mercury which moves up or down based on the expansion and contraction of alcohol.
When the temperature rises, the alcohol expands and pushes the mercury up the maximum column. This also pushes the mercury down in the minimum column.
Similarly, when the temperature falls, the alcohol contracts and pulls the mercury up in the minimum column resulting in a fall of mercury in the maximum column.
The steel indexes are located on the surface of mercury. They move along with the flow of mercury up and down.
When the temperature reaches its maximum and minimum limits, the metal indexes remain at that place. This helps in recording the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day.
