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.

A swimmer is swimming to the left with a speed of 1.0 m/s when she starts to speed up with constant acceleration. The swimmer re
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Correct answer: t = 2.86 seconds

Explanation:

We first use this formula

V² - V₀² = 2 a d    

where V is the final velocity (speed), V₀ the initial velocity (speed),

a the acceleration and d the distance.

We will calculate the acceleration from this formula

a = (V² - V₀²) / (2 d) = (2.5² - 1²) / (2 · 5) = (6.25 - 1) / 10 = 5.25 / 10

a = 0.525 m/s²

then we use this formula

V = V₀ + a t  => t = (V - V₀) / a = (2.5 - 1) / 0.525 = 1.5 / 0.525 = 2.86 seconds

t = 2.86 seconds

B4 the tackle: 

<span>The linebacker's momentum = 115 x 8.5 = 977.5 kg m/s north </span>

<span>and the halfback's momentum = 89 x 6.7 = 596.3 kg m/s east </span>


<span>After the tackle they move together with a momentum equal to the vector sum of their separate momentums b4 the tackle </span>

<span>The vector triangle is right angled: </span>

<span>magnitude of final momentum = √(977.5² + 596.3²) = 1145.034 kg m/s </span>

<span>so (115 + 89)v(f) = 1145.034 ←←[b/c p = mv] </span>

<span>v(f) = 5.6 m/s (to 2 sig figs) </span>


<span>direction of v(f) is the same as the direction of the final momentum </span>

<span>so direction of v(f) = arctan (596.3 / 977.5) = N 31° E (to 2 sig figs) </span>


<span>so the velocity of the two players after the tackle is 5.6 m/s in the direction N 31° E </span>




<span>btw ... The direction can be given heaps of different ways ... N 31° E is probably the easiest way to express it when using the vector triangle to find it</span>

А A pool of water of refractive index
babymother [125]

Answer:

Apparent depth = 45 cm

Explanation:

The refractive index of water in a pool, n = 4/3

Real depth, d = 60 cm

We need to find its apparent  depth when viewed vertically through  air.​ The ratio of real depth to the apparent depth is equal to the refractive index of the material. Let the apparent depth is d'. So,

n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{60}{\dfrac{4}{3}}\\\\d'=45\ cm

So, the apparent depth is 45 cm.
