Answer:

a)3000ohm

b)4.44mA

Explanation:

a) we were given a Nine tree lights connected inparallel across 120-V potential difference, since the resistor are in parallel we use the expresion below

1/R(total)= 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + 1/R₃ +.... 1/R₉

But according to ohm'law which can be expressed below

V=IR

R=V/I

R(total)= 120/0.36

= 333.33ohm

1/R(total)= 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + 1/R₃ +.... 1/R₉

R₁=R₂ =R₃ =R₄= R₅=R₆=R₇=R₈=R₉

1/R(total)=9/R

1/333.33= 9/R

R= 3000ohm

Therefore, the resistance is 3000ohm

b)the bulbs were connected in series here, then for series connection we use below expression

R₁=R₂ =R₃ =R₄= R₅=R₆=R₇=R₈=R₉

R(total)=9R

= 9*3000

=27000ohm

I=VR

I=V/R

I= 120/27000

= 4.44*10⁻³A

4.44mA

Therefore, the current is 4.4mA

What is waters characteristic shape due to
Serga [27]
<h2>Answer: polar covalent bonding</h2>

In polar covalent bonding, electrons are shared <u>unequally </u>between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements, slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.

In this context, water molecule is an exellent example of this type of bonding:

Water (H_{2}O) can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds, because a water molecule consists of 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom.  

The oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Then, it can be said that a water molecule will have a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).  

Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together with the formation of hydrogen bonds to attract a partial positive charge of hydrogen and a more electronegative atom, such as oxygen.

A 5.58 kg object with a speed of 35 m/s strikes a steel plate at an angle of 45.0 degrees with the normal to the plate, and rebo
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

magnitude of vector is 276.19 kg m/s

Explanation:

The initial momentum is vector of magnitude

5.58 \times 35 = 195.3 (kg m/s)  And driven in a coherent manner with initial vector.

same magnitude is momentum after the impact, but it is oriented perpendicularly to initial momentum vector.

So, you have 2 momentum vector of  specified magnitude perpendicular to one another.

 The contrast between such two vectors is a right angle triangle hypotenuse of 195.3 sides

magnitude of vector is  \sqrt{ 195.3^2 + 195.3^2} = 276.19

A string of 18 identical Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 130 V source. The string dissipates 61 W.
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a)  277.05 Ω

(b) 15.39 Ω

(c) 3.76 W

Explanation:

(a)

Applying,

P = V²/R.......................... Equation 1

Where P = Power dissipated by the string. V = Voltage source, R = equivalent resistance of the light string

Make R the subject of the equation

R = V²/P................... Equation 2

Given: V = 130, P = 61  W

Substitute into equation 2

R = 130²/61

R = 277.05 Ω

(b) The resistance of a single light is given as

R' = R/18 (since the light are connected in series and the are identical)

Where R' = Resistance of the single light.

R' = 277.05/18

R' = 15.39 Ω

(c)

Heat dissipated in a single light is given as

P' = I²R'..................... Equation 3

Where P' = heat dissipated in a single light, I = current flowing through each light.

We can calculate for I using

P = VI

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V

I = 61/130

I = 0.469 A.

Also given: R' = 15.39 Ω

Substitute into equation 3

P' = 0.496²(15.39)

P' = 3.76 W
