<h2>Answer: C. 7.67 W </h2>

Explanation:

Firstly, we are told the three resistors are <u>connected in parallel</u>, this means we have to use the following equation to find the total resistance R of the circuit:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}  (1)

Where: R_{1}=2k\Omega, R_{2}=6k\Omega, R_{3}=10k\Omega

Solving (1):

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{2k\Omega}+\frac{1}{6k\Omega}+\frac{1}{10k\Omega}  (2)

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{23}{30k\Omega}  (3)

R=1.3043k\Omega}=1304.34\Omega  (4)  This is the total resistance of the circuit

On the other hand, the total power P of this circuit is given by the following equation:

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}   (5)

Where V=100V is the total voltage of the circuit.

Solving:

P=\frac{(100V)^{2}}{1304.34\Omega}   (6)

Finally:

P=7.67V\Omega=7.67W   (7) This is the total power of the circuit in Watts (W)

Answer:

1.171

Explanation:

if n₁sinΘ₁=n₂sinΘ₂, then n₂=n₁sinΘ₁ / sinΘ₂;

n_2=\frac{1.5*sin45}{sin65}=\frac{1.5*0.707}{0.906} =1.1705

Explain, using the kinetic theory of matter, why liquids and solids are more denser than gases
AlekseyPX
Solid and liquids are much more denser than gas because their molecules are close to each other and with that the molecules of them can't move that freely unlike the gas molecules. Also, because of being near to each other the molecules of solid and liquids became heavy making them dense.
