Answer: What is the difference of physical quanity and a unit?

Explanation: If you are working science or math problems, the answer to this question is that quantity is the amount or numerical value, while the unit is the measurement. For example, if a sample contains 453 grams, the quantity is 453 while the unit is grams.

Circuit A in a house has a voltage of 208 V and is limited by a 40.0-A circuit breaker. Circuit B is at 120.0 V and has a 20.0-A
Setler79 [48]

Given Information:  

Voltage of circuit A = Va = 208 Volts

Current of circuit A = Ia = 40 Amps

Voltage of circuit B = Vb = 120 Volts

Current of circuit B = Ib = 20 Amps

Required Information:  

Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = ?

Answer:  

Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = 52/15

Explanation:  

Power can be calculated using Ohm's law

P = VI

Where V is the voltage and I is the current flowing in the circuit.

The power delivered by circuit A is

Pa = Va*Ia

Pa = 208*40

Pa = 8320 Watts

The power delivered by circuit B is

Pb = Vb*Ib

Pb = 120*20

Pb = 2400 Watts

Therefore, the ratio of the maximum power delivered by circuit A to that delivered by circuit B is

Pa/Pb = 8320/2400

Pa/Pb = 52/15

By using 3.2 nm x-rays on human tissue, images can be made showing microtubules in the nuclei of cells. What is the frequency of
Bingel [31]

Frequency of any wave = (speed) / (wavelength)

Frequency = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (3.2 x 10⁻⁹ m) = <em>9.375 x 10¹⁶ Hz</em>

                                                                 = 93,750,000 GHz

how do index contours let you know if the land you are viewing is increasing or decreasing in elevation?
Aleks [24]
Index Contours are indicated by a thicker line compared to the others. Index Contours are labelled with specific elevations along it to give a better understanding of the scale of elevation. 

The elevations on the Index Contour along with the legend of the map, that allows you read intermediate contour lines, gives you a clear perspective of increasing/decreasing elevation.

Which structure controls how much light passes through the specimen
poizon [28]

Answer:

The diaphragm.

Explanation:

A diaphragm is a thin non transparent structure with an aperture at its center. Aperture is the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera. Diaphragm controls the passage of light through specimen. It stops the passage of light except for the light passing through aperture. It also limits the brightness of light reaching the focal plane.

The diaphragm is placed close to the lens, where objects are defocused to the maximum in order to pass every ray from the object through the lens. Diaphragm discards some of those rays but allows multiple rays to move through to produce an image. This means that the size of the aperture controls the amount of light that passes through the lens. The center of the aperture coincides with optical axis of the lens.  Iris diaphragm is an example. It is used in modern cameras.
