This is an insidious question.  Quite frankly, I would not have
expected to see it here on Brainly.  But I'm ready to play the
cards that you have dealt me.

None of the choices offered is a correct solution.

If the output of the AC generator is nice and sinusoidal, and
its maximum (peak) emf is 150 volts, then its RMS emf is

                             (1/2) (150) (√2)  =  106.07 volts.

The resistor's dissipation is   

                             Power = (current) x (voltage) .

If the resistor is dissipating its full rated 35W, then

                       35W  =  (current) x (106.07 V)

Divide each side by 106.07 V:   

           RMS Current =  (35W) / (106.07 V)  =  0.33 Ampere .
_________________________________________

Looking over the choices offered . . . 

The largest choice ... 3.1 A ... is the current in a resistor
that is dissipating 35W if the voltage is

                           (35W / 3.1A)  =  11.29 volts .

The smallest choice ... 1.2 A ... is the current in a resistor
that is dissipating 35W if the voltage is

                           (35W / 1.2A)  =  29.17 volts .

Whatever you meant the so-called "150 V" of the generator
to represent ... whether the RMS sinusoidal, peak sinusoidal,
peak square-wave, RMS square-wave, DC, average, etc. ...
none of the choices for current, in combination with any of these
generators, would dissipate 35W.

Which landform is produced at location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of
mixer [17]

Answer:

a delta

Explanation:

The landform produced at the location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of Mexico is a delta.

A delta is a depositional landform where a smaller body of water enters into a larger one.

The Gulf of Mexico contains a larger body of water and as the Mississippi river enters into it, it splits up into many distributaries.

So, this feature is a delta.

A giant star has a luminosity of 300 its color is most likely to be
amm1812
<span>The correct answer is blue. If you look at a luminosity star chart, called the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram, you will see the measurement of luminosity on the left side, and you will see a curve of stars with different colors (which correlate to the colors of the stars). Look for 30 on the luminosity measurement (look between 1 and 100). Then, move horizontally across the diagram until you hit the stars, whose color will be blue. Thus, blue is the answer.</span>

State one advantage and one disadvantage of using a plane mirrior as a driving mirrior​
____ [38]

1). one disadvantage as using it is because it covers far less space. this would make much more blind spots. 2. the advantage of them is that they don't lie about the distances. the current convex mirrors we have in out cars right now, is that the imagine might look father or closer than they appear, which can be troubling at times.

plan mirrors are flat, car mirrors are convex.
