The following currents are measured in the same direction in a three-branch parallel circuit: 250 mA, 300 mA, and 800 mA. What i

s the value of the current into the junction of these three branches?

The current in the junction is 1350 mA or 1.350 A.

Explanation:

As per Kirchoff's first law, the algebraic sum of current meeting at any junction should be equal to the algebraic sum of current leaving the junction. As in the present case, three parallel branch circuit is given the current in 250 mA, 300 mA and 800 mA, respectively, the sum of these three current will be equal to the current in the junction.

So,

I₁+I₂+I₃ = I₄

So I₁,I₂ and I₃ are the current passed in the three parallel branches and I₄ is the current in the junction.

250 + 300 + 800 = 1350 mA

So the current in the junction is 1350 mA or 1.350 A.

What are the names of the 4 types of fronts? How are they created?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Stationary Front, warm front, cold front, Occluded Front.

Explanation:

Stationary Front. When the surface position of a front does not change (when two air masses are unable to push against each other; a draw), a stationary front is formed.

cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and lies within a pronounced surface trough of low pressure. It often forms behind an extratropical cyclone (to the west in the Northern Hemisphere, to the east in the Southern), at the leading edge of its cold air advection pattern—known as the cyclone's dry "conveyor belt" flow. Temperature differences across the boundary can exceed 30 °C (86 °F) from one side to the other. When enough moisture is present, rain can occur along the boundary. If there is significant instability along the boundary, a narrow line of thunderstorms can form along the frontal zone. If instability is weak, a broad shield of rain can move in behind the front, and evaporative cooling of the rain can increase the temperature difference across the front. Cold fronts are stronger in the fall and spring transition seasons and weakest during the summer.

A warm front is a density discontinuity located at the leading edge of a homogeneous warm air mass, and is typically located on the equator-facing edge of an isotherm gradient. Warm fronts lie within broader troughs of low pressure than cold fronts, and move more slowly than the cold fronts which usually follow because cold air is denser and less easy to remove from the Earth's surface. This also forces temperature differences across warm fronts to be broader in scale. Clouds ahead of the warm front are mostly stratiform, and rainfall gradually increases as the front approaches. Fog can also occur preceding a warm frontal passage. Clearing and warming is usually rapid after frontal passage. If the warm air mass is unstable, thunderstorms may be embedded among the stratiform clouds ahead of the front, and after frontal passage thundershowers may continue. On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is marked with a red line of semicircles pointing in the direction of travel.

In meteorology, an occluded front is a weather front formed during the process of cyclogenesis. The classical view of an occluded front is that they are formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, such that the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the surface. The point where the warm front becomes the occluded front is called the triple point; a new area of low-pressure that develops at this point is called a triple-point low. A more modern view of the formation process suggests that occluded fronts form directly during the wrap-up of the baroclinic zone during cyclogenesis, and then lengthen due to flow deformation and rotation around the cyclone.

How can you drop two eggs the fewest amount of times, without them breaking?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Both eggs are identical. The aim is to find out the highest floor from which an egg will not break when dropped out of a window from that floor. If an egg is dropped and does not break, it is undamaged and can be dropped again. However, once an egg is broken, that's it for that egg.

A skateboarder is moving 5.25 m/s when he starts to roll up a frictionless hill. How much higher is he when his velocity has red
Taya2010 [7]
Mechanical energy E = mgh + 1/2mv²

When he starts, let h = 0 ⇒ E₁ = 1/2mv₁²
When he reaches height h ⇒ E₂ = mgh + 1/2mv₂²

Without friction, energy is conserved at all times.

E₁ = E₂
     ↓
1/2mv₁² = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
     ↓
1/2v₁² = gh + 1/2v₂²
     ↓
gh = 1/2(v₁² - v₂²)
    ↓
h = (v₁² - v₂²) / (2g)
