In extremely large​ forests, it is not​ cost-effective to position forest rangers in towers or to use small aircraft to continua

lly watch for fires. Since lightning is a frequent cause of​ fire, lightning detectors are now commonly used instead. These devices not only give a bearing on the location but also measure the intensity of the lightning. A detector at point Q is situated 11 miles west of a central fire station at point R. The bearing from Q to where lightning hits due south of R is S37.3​°E. How far is the hit from point​ R?

Answer:

Point R is at 14.28 miles.

Explanation:

According to the attached image:

Q = 90 - 37.6 = 52.4°

Using the tangent property:

tanθ = s/11

s = 11 * tanθ = 11 * tan52.4 = 14.28 miles

Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c
rosijanka [135]

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

How much support force does a table exert on a book that weighs 15 N when the book is placed on the table?
mestny [16]

Answer:

15 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction is equal in magnitude to the force acting but in an opposite direction.

Now, if the book weighs 15 N, an opposite equal force will be: N = -15 N

But the magnitude of this will be the absolute value which is 15N.
