Answer:

c. streak

Explanation:

Pyrite is a mineral that looks like gold but actually is iron disulfide.

Pyrite and gold have comparable luster.

Pyrite and gold have different tones of yellow. This can be determined by their streak. Streak is the powdered form of a mineral. A streak of mineral can be found just by rubbing the mineral on a rough surface and comparing the colors.

Pyrite is diamagnetic which is not a strong form of magnetism. Gold is also diamagnetic

A 600W toaster, 1200W iron and a 100W bulb are all connected to household 120V circuit. a) find the current drawn by each applia
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) %a, 10 A, 0.833 A

(b) 12 ohm

(c) $22.8

Explanation:

Power of toaster, P1 = 600 W

Power of iron, P2 = 1200 W

Power of bulb, P3 = 100 W

V = 120 V

As they are in household circuit, so they are connected in parallel, so the voltage is same for all.

(a) Use the formula P = V x i

Current in toaster, i1 = P1 / V = 600 / 120 = 5 A

Current in iron, i2 = P2 / V = 1200 / 120 = 10 A

Current in bulb, i3 = P3 / V = 100 / 120 = 0.833 A

(b) Resistance of heating element of iron is R2.

V = i2 x R2

120 = 10 x R2

R2 = 12 ohm

(c) Total energy consumed in 24 hours for 5 days

                              = (600 + 1200 + 100) x 24 x 5 = 228000 Wh = 228 KWh

Cost of 1 KWh = $0.1

Cost of 228 KWh = 0.1 x 228 = $22.8

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

r=5\times 10^{-11}

T=1.5 \times 10^{-16}

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically given as

Velocity (v)=\frac{2 \pi r}{t}

V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}

V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}

Generally the equation for Centripetal acceleration is mathematically given as

A_c=\frac{V^2}{r}

A_c=(\frac{20.944*10^5)}{r5*10^{-11}}

A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s

A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor that has a very small capacitance. what can we say about
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor
that has a very small capacitance.

The capacitance of the series combination is slightly smaller than the
capacitance of the small capacitor. (choice-C)

The capacitance of a series combination is

             1 / (1/A + 1/B + 1/C + 1/D + .....) .

If you wisk, fold, knead, and mash that expression for a while,
you find that for only two capacitors in series, (or 2 resistors or
two inductors in parallel), the combination is   

             (product of the 2 individuals) / (sum of the individuals)  .

In this problem, we have a humongous one and a tiny one.
Let's call them  1000  and  1 .
Then the series combination is

           (1000 x 1) / (1000 + 1)

        =       (1000) / (1001)

        =         0.999 000 999 . . . 

which is smaller than the smaller individual.

It'll always be that way.   </span>
