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 car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg − N = m v²/r

At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = m v²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)

v = 11.8 m/s

klemol [59]

Answer:

Golfer B hits his golf ball at a higher rate of speed and with more force. This means that golfer B's ball will travel for a longer period of time and a longer distance due to newtons first law, where it says an object in motion stays in motion, with the same speed and in the same direction.

A 1000-kg car traveling at 70 m/s takes 3 m to stop under full braking. the same car under similar road conditions, traveling at
azamat
We assume a=const (acceleration is constant. We apply the equation
v^2=v0^2+2as where s is the distance to stop v=0(m/s). We find the acceleration from this equation
a=-v0^2/(2s)=-70^2/(2*3) =-816.7 (m/s^2)

We know the acceleration, thus we find the distance necesssary to stop when initial speed is v=140 (m/s)
s=-v0^2/(2a) =140^2/(2*816.7)=12 (m)

A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
