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.

How much time does it take 9,560 joules of work with 860 watts of power
tia_tia [17]

Explanation:

use equation power=watts/time

to find time rearrange to make time = power/wats

so you have your equation substitute the numbers

so 9560J/860W is 11 minutes

What is the speed of a car that traveled 500 meter in 30 seconds?
GenaCL600 [577]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find speed, you need to remember the formula:

Speed = distance ÷ time

So plug the given values in:

500 ÷ 30 = 16.66

<h3>So the speed is 16.66m/s (metres per second)</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

What selective pressures favored an increase in brain size in hominid primates?
Viktor [21]
The colossal brains of people are to a great extent because of one segment the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the focal point of dialect, rationale, critical thinking, and data preparing. A high bent in these territories would be exceptionally favorable to primitive seekers.
