Answer:267

Explanation:

Given

Power of light bulbs is 45 W

and voltage applied is 240 V

Allowable current is 50 A

and $P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

$R=\frac{V^2}{P}$

$R=\frac{240\times 240}{45}=1280 \Omega$

and wire will trip if resistance drop below

$R_{total}=\frac{240}{50}=4.8 \Omega$

Therefore $R_{total}=\frac{R}{n}$

$n=\frac{R}{R_{total}}=\frac{1280}{4.8}=266.667 \approx 267$

Explain why it takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron fr

slava [35]

It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>

When a rocket is 4 kilometers high, it is moving vertically upward at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. At that instant, how f

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the rocket is increasing at a rate of 48.780º per second.

Explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the distance between the rocket and the observer ( $r$ ), measured in kilometers, can be represented by a right triangle:

$r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Horizontal distance between the rocket and the observer, measured in kilometers.

$y$ - Vertical distance between the rocket and the observer, measured in kilometers.

The angle of elevation of the rocket ( $\theta$ ), measured in sexagesimal degrees, is defined by the following trigonometric relation:

$\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}$ (2)

If we know that $x = 5\,km$ , then the expression is:

$\tan \theta = \frac{y}{5}$

And the rate of change of this angle is determined by derivatives:

$\sec^{2}\theta \cdot \dot \theta = \frac{1}{5}\cdot \dot y$

$\frac{\dot \theta}{\cos^{2}\theta} = \frac{\dot y}{5}$

$\frac{\dot \theta\cdot (25+y^{2})}{25} = \frac{\dot y}{5}$

$\dot \theta = \frac{5\cdot \dot y}{25+y^{2}}$

Where:

$\dot \theta$ - Rate of change of the angle of elevation, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

$\dot y$ - Vertical speed of the rocket, measured in kilometers per hour.

If we know that $y = 4\,km$ and $\dot y = 400\,\frac{km}{h}$ , then the rate of change of the angle of elevation is:

$\dot \theta = 48.780\,\frac{\circ}{s}$

The angle of elevation of the rocket is increasing at a rate of 48.780º per second.

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. T

IrinaK [193]

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. The component of the longer vector along the line of the shorter is 6.33 .

A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields, and weight.

The taller component will be 15 . There will be two components taller component , one in the direction of shorter component and other perpendicular to the shorter wavelength .

The component of longer wavelength in the direction of shorter will be

= 15 cos (theta ) = 15 cos (65) = 6.33

where theta is the angle between both the vectors

ra1l [238]

Answer:

I like to memorize excerpt from articles to solve and answer questions like these. I hope this can help, it's from study.com: "The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is described by Ohm's law. This equation, i = v/r, tells us that the current, i, flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage, v, and inversely proportional to the resistance, r."
