Answer:

16.6 °C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Temperature at upper fixed point (Tᵤ) = 100 °C

Resistance at upper fixed point (Rᵤ) = 75 Ω

Temperature at lower fixed point (Tₗ) = 0 °C

Resistance at lower fixed point (Rₗ) = 63.00Ω

Resistance at room temperature (R) = 64.992 Ω

Room temperature (T) =?

T – Tₗ / Tᵤ – Tₗ = R – Rₗ / Rᵤ – Rₗ

T – 0 / 100 – 0 = 64.992 – 63  / 75 – 63

T / 100 = 1.992 / 12

Cross multiply

T × 12 = 100 × 1.992

T × 12 = 199.2

Divide both side by 12

T = 199.2 / 12

T = 16.6 °C

Thus, the room temperature is 16.6 °C

A square wave has amplitude 0 V for the low voltage and 4 V for the high voltage. Calculate the average voltage by integrating o
Margarita [4]

Answer:

V_{average} = \frac{1}{2}  V_o  ,     V_{average} = 2 V

Explanation:

he average or effective voltage of a wave is the value of the wave in a period

            V_average = ∫ V dt

in this case the given volage is a square wave that can be described by the function

           V (t) = \left \{ {{V=V_o \ \ \  t<  \tau /2} \atop {V=0 \ \  \ \  t> \tau /2 }   } \right.

to substitute in the equation let us separate the into two pairs

             V_average = \int\limits^{1/2}_0 {V_o} \, dt + \int\limits^1_{1/2} {0} \, dt

             V_average = V_o \ \int\limits^{1/2}_0 {} \, dt

             V_{average} = \frac{1}{2}  V_o

we evaluate  V₀ = 4 V

             V_{average} = 4 / 2)

             V_{average} = 2 V

Which type of matter is gold an element used in making jewelry A.) A heterogeneous mixture B.) A pure substance C.) A crystallin
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>The gold used in the making of jewelry is usually not pure but a heterogeneous mixture of metals. Pure gold is quite soft and even though it may look better in appearance compared to those made using heterogeneous mixtures, it usually bends easily. Hence, in order to make the jewelry more durable, gold is usually mixed with other metals to form a heterogeneous mixture. </em>

The correct option is A.

In a city grid, each block on the east-west streets is 100 meters long. Each block on the north-south streets is 20 meters long.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

72.1 m

Explanation:

Hello!

When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.

Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.

Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:

d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m

However the walker traveled 480 m

Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance

A 35 kg child goes down a playground that is inclined at an angle of 27.5 degrees above the horizontal. Find the acceleration if
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4.16m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law;

\sum Fx = ma_x\\Fm - Ff = ma_x\\W sin\theta - \mu R cos \theta = ma_x\\mg sin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\

Fm is the moving force

\mu is  the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration of the child

Substitute the given values and get the acceleration as shown;

35(9.8)sin27.5 - 0.415(35)(cos27.5) = 35a

158.38-12.88 = 35a

145.49 = 35a

a = 145.49/35

a = 4.16m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the body is  4.16m/s²
