Answer:

0.29D

Explanation:

Given that

F = G M m / r2

F = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

G Mm/r2 = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

1/r2 = 6 / (D-r)2

r = D / (Ö6 + 1)

r = 0.29 D

An ammeter with a resistance of 5.0 ohm is connected in series with a 3.0V cell and a lamp rated at 300 mA, 3V. Calculate the cu
Alex

Answer:

I = 0.2 A

Explanation:

Lamp is rated at 300 mA

I_lamp = 0.3 A

Voltage is; V = 3V

Thus; Resistance is given by;

R = V/I

R = 3/0.3

R = 10 ohms

Now, since the ammeter of 5 ohms is connected in series with the lamp. Thus equivalent resistance;

R_eq = 10 + 5

R_eq = 15 ohms

Ammeter current will be;

I = V/R_eq

I = 3/15

I = 0.2 A

A machine runs for 50 seconds with a steady power output of 100 watts. How many joules of work does the
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is when time = 50 s, work = 5000 J

                                                    when time = 90 s, work = 9000 J

Explanation:

Data

time = 50 s or 90 s

Power = 100 watts

Power is defined as the rate of work done per unit of time.

           Power = Work / time

-Solve for Work

           Work = Power x time

-Substitution

           Work = 100 x 50

-Result

           Work = 5000

2.-When time = 90 s

           Work = 100 x 90

-Result

          Work = 9000 watts

When passing through a lock, which light means âapproach the lock under full control?â?
vekshin1
The locks referred to here are the elevators that are used to transport boats safely from one water level to another in dams. These two varying water depths allow river traffic to operate  The attached picture shows how boats enter locks in dam sites.

To regulate traffic, there are traffic lights that signal boatmen to adjust their speed when approaching the lock. The red light means to stop and to steer clear away from the lock to allows the boats inside to exit. The green light signals to enter the lock. Lastly, the amber light means approach the lock at a safe speed and under full control.
