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.

You're carrying a 3.0-m-long, 24 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pol
kozerog [31]

Answer:

F=133N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length l=3.0m

Mass m=24kg

Distance from Tip d=35cm

Generally, the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

mg(l/2)=F(l-d)

2*9.81(3/2)=F(3-35*10^-2)

Therefore

F=133N

A spinning disc rotating at 130 rev/min slows and stops 31 s later. how many revolutions did the disc make during this time?
gayaneshka [121]
F = 130 revs/min = 130/60 revs/s = 13/6 revs/s
t = 31s
wi = 2πf = 2π × 13/6 = 13π/3 rads/s
wf = 0 rads/s = wi + at
a = -wi/t = -13π/3 × 1/31 = -13π/93 rads/s²
wf² - wi² = 2a∅
-169π²/9 rads²/s² = 2 × -13π/93 rads/s² × ∅
∅ = 1209π/18 rads
n = ∅/2π = (1209π/18)/(2π) = 1209/36 ≈ 33.5833 revolutions.
