Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

Wavelength is the horizontal distance between the peaks of successive troughs or crests of a wave. Wavelength is measured in meters and when you have the wavelength you can also calculate the frequency when velocity of the waves are known since velocity of wave is given as the product of wavelength and frequency. Conclusively, the distance as described from peak to peak of successive wave is termed as wavelength

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist

Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2$

For parallel combination,

$\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}$

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

$R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega$

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

$\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega$

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.

You have been called in by your neighborhood safety council to advise them about installing a barrier on a dangerous curve that

Alborosie

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

Explanation:

1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse

2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt

J is Impulse

f is the force applied during the time Δt

A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)

A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

An airplane cabin is pressurized to 570 mmhg. what is the pressure inside the cabin in atmospheres?

abruzzese [7]

1 atm corresponds to 760 mmHg, so we can set up a simple proportion to find how many atmospheres correspond to 570 mmHg:
$1 atm: 760 mmHg = x: 570 mmHg$
and from this, we find
$x= \frac{1 atm \cdot 570 mmHg}{760 mmHg} =0.75 atm$
