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?

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.
Option: B
<u>Explanation</u>:
When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.
When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.
Formula for "frictional force" is
Where, is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.
Answer:
5 ohms
Explanation:
Given:
EMF of the ideal battery (E) = 60 V
Voltage across the terminals of the battery (V) = 40 V
Current across the terminals (I) = 4 A
Let the internal resistance be 'r'.
Now, we know that, the voltage drop in the battery is given as:
Therefore, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is given as:
Now, rewriting in terms of 'r', we get:
Plug in the given values and solve for 'r'. This gives,
Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 5 ohms.
