The sum of the resistance = 2 ohms x 80 lights = 160 ohms.

Current = Total voltage / total resistance:

Current = 120V / 160 ohms

Current = 0.75 Amps

Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-life
alina1380 [7]

Explanation:

Use half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is half life.

0.375 = 3 (½)^(1 / T)

0.125 = (½)^(1 / T)

(½)^3 = (½)^(1 / T)

3 = 1 / T

T = 1/3 hours

T = 20 minutes

Infrared radiation has wavelengths ranging from about 800 nm to 1 mm. what is the frequency of radiation of wavelength 960 nm? a
Xelga [282]
The correct answer to your question and how to solve it is
 
The relation between wavelength (λ)and the frequency of electromagnetic oscillation (f) is described by the following expression: λ=c/f, where c–is the speed of light in vacuum = 3*10^8 m/s
Derive f from above: f = c/λ.How to Calculate: λ=890nm = 890*10^-9m = 8.9*10^-7m
f =3*10^8m/s Divided by 8.9*10^-7m = 0.34*10^15 s-1=3.4*10^14 s-1
So your Answer is: The frequency of radiation of wavelength 890 nm is 3.4*10^14s-1

A car is traveling 20 m/s and slows down at a uniform rate. It stops in 6 seconds. How far has it traveled in this interval?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Car travel a distance of 60.06 m in 6 sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity v = 20 m/sec

Time = 6 sec

As the car stops finally so final velocity v = 0

From the first equation of motion

v = u+at (as the car velocity is slows down means it is a case of deceleration)

So v = u-at

0=20-a\times 6

a=3.33m/sec^2

Now from second equation of motion s=ut-\frac{1}{2}at^2=20\times 6-\frac{1}{2}\times 3.33\times 6^2=60.06m

What is the significance of the discovery of exoplanets?
polet [3.4K]
For only through exploration of the unknown we have come as far as we are now.

Discoveries are what laid the foundation for the technology and all advancement of the society we have today. Similar to how we continue to voyage into the unknowns of this world to find resources to supply for our needs, studies through new materials, species we encounter will all benefit the most common problems we have such as energy resource, medical needs and cure for the incurable diseases. These explanetary exploration may be the next key which holds potential to solve these problems.
