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.

It takes 185 kj of work to accelerate a car from 23.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s. what is the car's mass?
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span>This question is based on conservation of energy as the work done would lead to change in kinetice energy of car change in KE = 1/2 mv(f)^2 - 1/2mv(i)^2 = 1/2m(v(f)^2-v(i)^2) where v(f) and v(i) are the final and initial speeds change in KE = 185kJ = 185,000J = 1/2 m((28m/s)^2-(23m/s)^2) 185,000=1/2 m(255m^2/s^2) solving for m m=1451kg</span>

A cable is 100-m long and has a cross-sectional area of 1.0 mm2. A 1000-N force is applied to stretch the cable. Young's modulus
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1 m

Explanation:

L = 100 m

A = 1 mm^2 = 1 x 10^-6 m^2

Y = 1 x 10^11 N/m^2

F = 1000 N

Let the cable stretch be ΔL.

By the formula of Young's modulus

Y=\frac{F\times L}{A\times\Delta L}

\Delta L=\frac{F\times L}{A\times\Y}

\Delta L=\frac{1000\times 100}{10^{-6}\times10^{11}}

ΔL = 1 m

Thus, the cable stretches by 1 m.
