The area of this triangle can be calculated using herons formula since th three sides are given. It is expressed as:

A=sqrt( s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

where s is equal to a+b+c / 2

s=15 +20 +25 /2=30
A=sqrt( 30(30-15)(30-20)(30-25))
A= 150 cm^3

How is the direction of current defined by convention
ddd [48]

Answer: The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge
DerKrebs [107]
The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure =  75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.

The temperature of a superconductor is gradually lowered. At the critical temperature, how does the resistivity of the supercond
san4es73 [151]

At critical temperature, the resistivity of the superconductor

B. It suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Materials can be classified into three different types depending on their resistance:

  • Conductors: these materials have generally low resistance and allow electricity to pass through easily. The resistance of a conductor increases linearly with the temperature
  • Insulators: these materials do not allow electricity to pass through - so they have very high resistance
  • Semi-conductors: these are materials that are insulators are room temperature, however they becomes conductors when heated. Therefore, the resistance of a semiconductor decreases when the temperature increases
  • Superconductors: these are special materials that are normally conductors; however, at very low temperatures (we are talking about temperature very near to 0 K), their resistance becomes suddenly zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. It suddenly drops to zero

In a double-slit experiment, the third-order maximum for light of wavelength 490 nm is located 15 mm from the central bright spo
jeka94

Answer:

The distance from the central bright spot are 156.8\times10^{-3}\ mm and 142.9\times10^{-3}\ mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 490 nm

Distance y= 15 mm

Length L=1.6 m

New wavelength = 670

We need to calculate the distance from the central bright spot

Using formula of distance

y= \dfrac{m\lambda L}{d}

d=\dfrac{m\lambda L}{y}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{3\times490\times10^{-9}\times1.6}{15\times10^{-3}}

d=156.8\times10^{-6}\ m

d=156.8\times10^{-3}\ mm

We need to calculate the distance from the central bright spot for new wavelength

Using formula of distance

d=\dfrac{m\lambda L}{y}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{2\times670\times10^{-9}\times1.6}{15\times10^{-3}}

d=142.9\times10^{-6} m

d=142.9\times10^{-3}\ mm

Hence, The distance from the central bright spot are 156.8\times10^{-3}\ mm and 142.9\times10^{-3}\ mm.
