The space between them is shrinking at (60+40)= 100 mph. It started out being 120 miles. To shrink to zero will take

(120 miles) / (100 mph) = 1.2 hours

That's 1 hour and 12 minutes.

Answer:

V for dry skin = 41.83 volts

V for wet skin = 0.196 volts

Explanation:

The relationship between current and voltage is given as follows by Ohm's Law:

V = IR

where,

V = voltage

I = Current

R = Resistance

FOR DRY SKIN:

V = Vd = ?

I = 89 μA = 89 x 10⁻⁶ A

R = 4.7 x 10⁵ Ω

Therefore,

Vd = (89 x 10⁻⁶ A)(4.7 x 10⁵ Ω)

<u>Vd = 41.83 volts</u>

FOR WET SKIN:

V = Vw = ?

I = 89 μA = 89 x 10⁻⁶ A

R = 2200 Ω

Therefore,

Vd = (89 x 10⁻⁶ A)(2200 Ω)

<u>Vd = 0.196 volts</u>

just olya [345]

Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

a 5.0 kg tool box is raised from the ground by a rope. if the upward acceleration of the bucket is 2.5 m/s^2 , find the force ex
denpristay [2]

Answer:

62 N

Explanation:

Sum of the forces on the toolbox:

∑F = ma

T − mg = ma

T = mg + ma

T = m (g + a)

T = (5.0 kg) (9.8 m/s² + 2.5 m/s²)

T = 61.5 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force exerted by the rope is 62 N.
