Answer:

Mandaloun won the race.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the time taken by the Hot Rod Charlie:

s = vt\\t = \frac{s}{v}

where,

t = time taken by Hot Rod Charlie = ?

s = distance covered = 1.25 miles

v = speed of Hot Rod Charlie = 0.79 miles/min

Therefore,

t = \frac{1.25\ miles}{0.79\ miles/min} \\t = 1.58 min

Since Hot Rod Charlie took more time (1.58 min) than the Mandaloun (1.52 min).

<u>Therefore Mandaloun won the race.</u>

A series circuit is composed of two resistors:
WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

                          = 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

 = 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

V_a= Velocity of airplane in still air

V_w= Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)

Subtracting the two equations we get

V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

I need to Swap the convergent lens to a menisc Congergent one And make a graph like the attached photo
weeeeeb [17]

A convergent meniscus lens is a lens that is composed of two spherical surfaces, like the on shown next:

The imaginary line that runs through the middle of the lens is the "symmetry axis".

In this type of lenses incident parallel beams of light converge in one point, as follows:

And thus we get the diagram.

Which statements accurately describe electronic tools? Check all that apply.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Electronic tools provide accurate data

Explanation:

The sentence "Electronic tools provide accurate data analysis" is the only correct of all the options shown, because it is the only sentence that describes a characteristic present in all the electronic tools. The other options are not all electronic tools, but each option represents a type of electronic tool, depending on the time and technology used to build the tool.
