Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

I is the electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A$

So, the current is 0.625 A.

A teacher tells her students, "When you do your math homework assignments, you must use white lined paper. Please, no tear-o

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The white lined paper

Explanation:

The teacher is most likely putting the while line paper in jeopardy because of the detail process involved in taking care of the paper prior to the submission of the home work.

The fact that a mistake must not be visible due to the instruction of every erasures being thorough and clean. this can cause jeopardy to the paper.

For some transformation having kinetics that obey the Avrami equation, the parameter n is known to have a value of 2. If, after

kotegsom [21]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For some transformation having kinetics that obey the Avrami equation, the parameter n is known to have a value of 2. If, after 100 s, the reaction is 40% complete, how long (total time in seconds) will it take the transformation to go to 95% completion

y = 1 - exp( -ktⁿ )

Answer: the time required for 95% transformation is 242.17 s

Explanation:

First, we calculate the value of k which is the dependent variable in Avrami equation

y = 1 - exp( -ktⁿ )

exp( -ktⁿ ) = 1 - y

-ktⁿ = In( 1 - y )

k = - In( 1 - y ) / tⁿ

now given that; n = 2, y = 40% = 0.40, and t = 100 s

we substitute

k = - In( 1 - 0.40 ) / 100²

k = - In(0.60) / 10000

k = 0.5108 / 10000

k = 0.00005108 ≈ 5.108 × 10⁻⁵

Now calculate the time required for 95% transformation

tⁿ = - In( 1 - y ) / k

t = [- In( 1 - y ) / k ]^1/n

n = 2, y = 95% = 0.95 and k = 5.108 × 10⁻⁵

we substitute our values

t = [- In( 1 - 0.95 ) / 5.108 × 10⁻⁵ ]^1/2

t = [2.9957 / 5.108 × 10⁻⁵]^1/2

t = [ 58647.22 ]^1/2

t = 242.17 s

Therefore the time required for 95% transformation is 242.17 s

- Viscoelastic stress relaxation

My name is Ann [436]

Explanation:

The correct answers to the fill in the blanks would be;

1. Viscoelastic stress relaxation refers to scenarios for which the stress applied to a polymer must decay over time in order to maintain a constant strain. Otherwise, over time, the polymer chains will slip and slide past one another in response to a constant applied load and the strain will increase (in magnitude).

2. Viscoelastic creep refers to scenarios for which a polymer will permanently flow over time in response a constant applied stress.

The polymer whose properties have been mentioned above is commonly known as Kevlar.

It is mostly used in high-strength fabrics and its properties are because of several hydrogen bonds between polymer molecules.

In the lab, a container of saturated soil had a mass of 113.27 g before it was placed in the oven and100.06 g after the soil had

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Moisture/ water content w = 26%

Void ratio , e = 0.73

Explanation:

Initial mass of saturated soil w1 = mass of soil - weight of container

= 113.27 g - 49.31 g = 63.96 g

Final mass of soil after oven w2 = mass of soil - weight of container

= 100.06 g - 49.31 g = 50.75

Moisture /water content, w = $\frac{w1-w2}{w2}$ = $\frac{63.96-50.75}{50.75}$ = 0.26 = 26%

Void ratio = water content X specific gravity of solid

= 0.26 X 2.80 =0.728

True [87]

Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

There are different types of amplifiers, and each has different characteristics.

Voltage amplifier needs high input and low output resistance.

Current amplifier needs Low Input and High Output resistance.

Trans-conductance amplifier Low Input and High Output resistance.

Trans-Resistance amplifier requires High Input and Low output resistance.

Therefore, the correct answer is "None of these "
