Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

Voltage = I (current) . Resistance

You can change it the way you want to use for your purpose.

In this case...

R = V/I

R = 12/3

R = 4 Ohms (Ohm is the unit of measurement of eletrical resistance)

$F_a=1470\ N$

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

$\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0$

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

$\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]$

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

$\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0$

The friction forces are computed by

$\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g$

$\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)$

Plugging in the values

$\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]$

$\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}$

What is the tangent function used to find and what are its units

Verizon [17]

The functions of angles are used to find unknown lengths or angles that can't be measured, in terms of known quantities. The trig functions of angles are ratios of lengths, so they're bare naked numbers without units.

The critical angle for a special type of glass in air is 30.8 ◦ . the index of refraction for water is 1.33. what is the critica

Alina [70]

When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted light, and all the light is reflected. The value of this angle is given by
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n2 and n1 are the refractive indices of the second and first medium, respectively.

In the first part of the problem, light moves from glass to air ( $n_a=1.00$ ) and the critical angle is $\theta_c = 30.8^{\circ}$ . This means that we can find the refractive index of glass by re-arranging the previous formula:
$n_g=n_1 = \frac{n_2}{\sin \theta_c}= \frac{1.00}{\sin 30.8^{\circ}}=1.95$

Now the glass is put into water, whose refractive index is $n_w = 1.33$ . If light moves from glass to water, the new critical angle will be
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )=\arcsin( \frac{n_w}{n_g} )=\arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.95} )=\arcsin(0.68)=43.0^{\circ}$
