Answer:

3.44:1

Explanation:

We use ratios to find the ratio of weight.

Mass of Plane= 110000 kg ∴ W= mg

Mass of Boat =31999 kg

$\frac{weight of plane}{weight of boat}$ = $\frac{110000*9.81}{31999*9.81}$

= $\frac{3.44}{1}$

SO 3.44:1

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A. 3.44 :1

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We use ratios to compare things, that is, this helps us to know <em>how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. </em>We can express ratios in different ways:

$Using \ fractions: \ \frac{a}{b} \\ \\ \\ Using \ words: \ a \ to \ b \\ \\ \\ Using \ : \ to \ separate \ values$

In this exercise, we know that:

A boat has a mass of 31,999 kg
A plane has a mass of 110,000 kg

And we want to know the ratio of weight of the plane to the boat. So, if:

a: mass of the boat 31,999 kg

b: mass of the plane 110,000 kg

Then, the ratio of weight of the plane to the boat is:

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{110,000}{31,999}=3.44 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{\frac{b}{a}=3.44:1}$

<em>So the correct option is A. 3.44:1</em>

Assume that, as the battery wears out, the voltage decreases at 0.03 volts per second and, as the resistor heats up, the resista

liraira [26]

Answer:

$\frac{dI}{dt} =-3*10^-^4amps/sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Voltage decreases at $\frac{dv}{dt} =-0.03volts/sec$

Resistance increase at $\frac{dR}{dt}=0.02ohms /sec$

Resistance at $R=100ohms$

Current at $I=0.02amps$

Generally the equation for ohms law is mathematically represented as

$V=IR$

Therefore

$\frac{dV}{dt} =R\frac{dI}{dt} +I\frac{dR}{dt}$

Generally making $\frac{dI}{dt}$ subject of the formula in the above equation mathematically gives

$\frac{dV}{dt} =R\frac{dI}{dt} +I\frac{dR}{dt}$

$R\frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dt} -I\frac{dR}{dt}$

$\frac{dI}{dt} =\frac{1}{R} (\frac{dV}{dt} -I\frac{dR}{dt})$

Therefore

$\frac{dI}{dt} =\frac{1}{100}((-0.03) -(0.02)*(0.02))$

Generally it is given that the change in current is

$\frac{dI}{dt} =-3*10^-^4amps/sec$

What is the reversal experienced by an image formed in a plane mirror called?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Lateral inversion

Explanation:

When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the appearance of the object on the plane mirror appears as a reversal of the object. This effect is known as lateral inversion.

Lateral inversion occurs as a result of the fact that light is reflected by a plane mirror. The image formed by the plane mirror is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. Hence lateral inversion occurs because of the way our brains perceive images on a plane mirror. The mirror image of symmetrical letters and objects do not show lateral inversion.

A vector is any quantity that has no units of measurement

False. Velocity is a vector and is measured in m/s (in SI, anyway).
