Answer:

4 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is "In two minutes a current of 5 amps develops 1,200 heat units in a wire of 8 ohms resistance. What resistance does a similar wire have, which develops 6,000 heat units with a current of 10 amps in 5 minutes?"

Current, I₁ = 5 A

Heat, Q₁ = 1200 units

Resistance, R₁ = 8 ohms

Time, t₁ = 2 min = 120 s

New heat, Q₂ = 6000 units

Current, I₂ = 10 A

New time, t₂ = 5 min = 300 s

We need to find the new resistance.

Heat developed is given by :

Q=I^2Rt

\dfrac{Q_1}{I_1^2R_1t_1}=\dfrac{Q_2}{I_2^2R_2t_2}\\\\R_2=\dfrac{Q_2\times I_1^2R_1t_1}{Q_1I_2^2t_2}\\\\R_2=\dfrac{6000\times 5^2\times 8\times 120}{1200\times 10^2\times 300}\\\\=4\ \Omega

So, the new resistance is 4 ohms.

A die is rolled. What is the probability that the number is a factor of 6 or more than 2? Does this scenario represent mutually
goblinko [34]

Factors of 6 are : 1,2,3 and 6.

Let us find probability of getting the number that is a factor of 6.

P(\text{ The number is a factor of 6})=\frac{4}{6} =\frac{2}{3}

Now let us find probability of getting a number more than 2 (3,4,5,6).

P(\text{ The number is a greater than 2})=\frac{4}{6} =\frac{2}{3}

We can see that these two events are mutually inclusive events. We can find probability of mutually inclusive events by formula P(\text{X or Y})=P(X)+P(Y)-P(\text{X and Y}).  

P(\text{ The number is a factor of 6 and greater than 2})=\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}

Now we will find probability of getting the number is a factor of 6 or more than 2 using above formula.

P(\text{ The number is a factor of 6 or greater than 2})=\frac{2}{3} +\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{3}    

P(\text{ The number is a factor of 6 or greater than 2})= \frac{4}{3}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{3}=1  

Therefore, our probability will be 1 and this scenario represents mutually inclusive events.

Tina wants to save money for school. Tina invests $1,100 in an account that pays an interest rate of 7.25%. How many years will
svlad2 [7]
The amount of Tina money can be expressed in an exponent function like this:
an= $1100(1.0725)^n
The variable an represent the total money and variable n is the years needed to achieve that amount.

Then, the time needed for the money to reach $6,600 would be:

an= $1100(1.0725)^n
$6,600= $1100(1.0725)^n
$1,100(6)= $1100(1.0725)^n
6= (1.0725)^n
n= log1.075 6
n= 24.78

Estimate 200,629 +28,542
Alinara [238K]
200,629 \approx 201,000\\28,542 \approx 29,000\\\\ 201,000 + 29,000 = 230,000\\200,629 + 28,542 \approx 230,000
