Answer:

2Ω

Explanation:

If a 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts each of the resistance will be 18Ω/3 = 6Ω

Equivalent ratio in parallel is expressed as:

1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6

1/R = 3/6

Cross multiply

3R = 6

R = 6/3

R = 2Ω

Hence the required equivalent resistance is 2Ω

Answer:

$1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$

34.46 V/m

Explanation:

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability = $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

I = Intensity = 1.575 W/m²

The maximum magnetic field intensity is given by

$B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\mu_0I}{c}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.575}{3\times 10^8}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$

The magnetic field intensity is $1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$

The maximum electric field intensity is given by

$E_m=B_m\times c\\\Rightarrow E_m=1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\times 3\times 10^8\\\Rightarrow E_m=34.46\ V/m$

The electric field intensity is 34.46 V/m

A dog running at 10 m/s is 30m behind a rabbit moving at 5 m/s. when will the dog catch up with the rabbit assuming both their v

dedylja [7]

The will dog catch up with the rabbit in 6 minutes assuming both their velocities remain constant during the chase.

<h3>What time will the dog catch the rabbit?</h3>

The time that the dog will catch up with the rabbit is given as follows:

Let the distance covered by the rabbit be x.

Distance covered by dog = x + 30

Time taken = distance/speed

The time taken will be the same T

Time taken by dog, T = (x + 30)/10
Time taken by rabbit, T = x/5

Equating both times.

(x + 30)/10 = x/5

x = 30 m

Solving for T in equation (ii);

T = 30/5 = 6 minutes

In conclusion, time is obtained as a ratio of distance and speed.
