Explanation:

The total resistance used to calculate the total resistance of the two parallel resistor is given by :

R_t=\dfrac{r_1\times r_2}{r_1+r_2}

Taking reciprocal of the above equation.

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1+r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

We can also write the above equation as :

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_1\times r_2}+\dfrac{r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

On simplification of above equation,

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_2}+\dfrac{1}{r_1}

or

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_1}+\dfrac{1}{r_2}

Hence, proved.

One mole of titanium contains how many atoms?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 6.02*10^{23} \ atoms}}

Explanation:

One mole of a substance contains the same amount of representative particles. These particles can be atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units. In this case, the particles are atoms of titanium.

Regardless of the particles, there will always be <u>6.02*10²³</u> (also known as Avogadro's Number) particles in one mole of a substance.

Therefore, the best answer for 1 mole of titanium is D. 6.02*10²³ atoms.

A 800hz tuning fork is vibrating, producing a sound wave in the air.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The frequency of the sound wave is 800Hz

The speed of sound in a is about 340m/s.

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

making wavelength the subject formula

wavelength = Velocity/frequency.

wavelength = 340/800

wavelength = 0.425m.

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updrafts and downdrafts. True or False
jasenka [17]

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updraft and downdrafts. The given statement is true.

When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it becomes large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain.

This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Thunder and lightning start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.

The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is
astraxan [27]

Complete question:

Point charges q1=- 4.10nC and q2=+ 4.10nC are separated by a distance of 3.60mm , forming an electric dipole. The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is the magnitude of this field if the torque exerted on the dipole has magnitude 7.30×10−9 N⋅m ? Express your answer in newtons per coulomb to three significant figures.

Answer:

The magnitude of this field is 826 N/C

Explanation:

Given;

The torque exerted on the dipole, T = 7.3 x 10⁻⁹ N.m

PEsinθ = T

where;

E is the magnitude of the electric field

P is the dipole moment

First, we determine the magnitude dipole moment;

Magnitude of dipole moment = q*r

P = 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ x 3.6 x 10⁻³ = 1.476 x 10⁻¹¹ C.m

Finally, we determine the magnitude of this field;

E = \frac{T}{P*sin(\theta)}=  \frac{7.3 X 10^{-9}}{1.476X10^{-11}*sin(36.8)}\\\\E = 825.6 N/C

E = 826 N/C (in three significant figures)

Therefore, the magnitude of this field is 826 N/C
