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.

Grains of fine california beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of 50 μm and are made of silicon dioxide,
kykrilka [37]

The average radius(r) of each grain is r = 50 nanometers = 50*10^-6 meters

Since it is spherical, so

 Volume=(4/3)*pi*r^3

V= (4/3)*pi*(50*10^-6)^3

V=5.23599*10^-13 m^3

 

We are given the Density(ρ) =2600kg/m^3

 

We know that:

Density(p) = mass(m)/volume(V)

m = ρV

 

So the mass of a single grain is:

m = 5.23599*10^-13 * 2600 = 1.361357*10^-9 kg

 

 

The surface area of a grain is:

a = 4*pi*r^2

a = 4*pi*(50*10^-6)^2

a = 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

 

Since we know the surface area and mass of a grain, the conversion factor is:

1.361357*10^-9 kg / 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

Find the Surface area of the cube:

cube = 6a^2

cube = 6*1.1^2  = 7.26m^2

 

multiply this by the converions ratio to get:

total mass of sand grains = (7.26 m^2 * 1.361357*10^-9 kg) / (3.14*10^-8 m^2)

total mass of sand grains = 0.3148 kg = 314.80 g

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is 2.5 m.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter of pool = 12 m

radius of pool, r = 6 m

Total height raised, h = 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 m

density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

Mass of water, m = Volume of water x density

m = πr²h x d

m = 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 5.5 x 1000

m = 113040 kg

Work = m x g x h

W = 113040 x 9.8 x 5.5

W = 6092856 J

A sinusoidal transverse wave travels along a long, stretched string. The amplitude of this wave is 0.08190.0819 m, its frequency
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 0.08190 m

Frequency = 2.29 Hz

Wavelength = 1.87 m

(a). We need to calculate the shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave

Using formula of distance

d=2A

Where, d = distance

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

d=2\times0.08190

d=0.1638\ m

Hence, The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.

A clothes dryer in a home draws a current of 10 amps when connected on a special 220-volts household circuit.what is the resista
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

22Ω

Explanation:

if    V ⇒ voltage

      I ⇒ current

      R ⇒ resistance

V = IR

220 = 10 x R

220 / 10 = R

22 = R
