Explanation:

The rain gauge is normally placed in the ground, leaving the top of the funnel above ground – about 30 cm above the ground so that it can collect water into the container or jar. ... Rain gauges should be placed in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain.

It is an instrument used for determining the depth of precipitation that occurs over a unit area. ... A graduated measuring glass is used for determining the amount of precipitation. For the measurement of rainfall, the rain gauze should be placed 30 cm above the ground to prevent the splashing of rainwater

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

ΔV=IR

$=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V$

ΔV=0.484mV

A lamp is rated for 240v,2.5A.what is the cost of using the lamp for 3hrs if 1kWh of electricity cost #12

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

≈ 22¢

Explanation:

240 / 1000 = 0.240 kV

0.240 kV(2.5 A)(3 hr) = 1.8 kW•hr

1.8 kW•hr($0.12/kW•hr) = $0.216
