Answer:

Resistance, R = 2.04 Ohms.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Current = 7 amps

Circuit voltage = 120 Volts

Power = 100 Watts

To find the resistance;

First of all, we would calculate the potential difference (voltage level) used by the radio.

Power = current * voltage

100 = 7 * voltage

Voltage = 100/7

Voltage = 14.29 Volts

Next, we solve for the resistance of the radio;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$14.29 = 7*R$

$R = \frac {14.29}{7}$

Resistance, R = 2.04 Ohms.

Consider an area-source box model for air pollution above a peninsula of land. The length of the box is 15 km, its width is 80 k

In-s [12.5K]

Consider an area-source box model for air pollution above a peninsula of land. The length of the box is 15 km, its width is 80 km, and a radiation inversion restricts mixing to 15 m. Wind is blowing clean air into the long dimension of the box at 0.5 m/s. On average, there are 250,000 vehicles on the road, each being driven 40 km in 2 hours and each emitting 4 g/km of CO.

Required:

a. Estimate the steady-state concentration of CO in the air. Should the city be designated as "nonattainment" (i.e., steady-state concentration is over the NAAQS standard)?

b. Find the average rate of CO emissions during this two-hour period.

c. If the windspeed is zero, use the formula to derive relationship between CO and time and use it to find the CO over the peninsula at 6pmConsider an area-source box model for air pollution above a peninsula of land.

What happens in double transverse wishbone front suspension when brakes are applied.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

When the brakes are applied the in the typical double transverse wishbone front suspension, it "drives" the car ground due to the setting of the link-type system pivot points on the lower wishbone are have parallel alignment to the road

Explanation:

In order to minimize the car's reaction to the application of the brakes, the front and rear pivot are arranged with the lower wishbone's rear pivot made to be higher than the front pivot as such the inclined wishbone torque results in an opposing vertical force to the transferred extra weight from the back due to breaking.

A gear train has two gears. The driver gear has 8 teeth and a diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch. the follower gear has 24 teeth. W

Sliva [168]

Answer:

18 teeth/inch

Explanation:

Given that: i. driver gear has 8 teeth and diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch.

ii. follower gear has 24 teeth.

Let the followers diametral pitch be represented by x.

Then,

8 teeth ⇒ 6 teeth/inch

24 teeth ⇒ x teeth/inch

So that;

x = $\frac{24 x 6}{8}$

= $\frac{144}{8}$

= 18 teeth/inch

The diametral is 18 teeth/inch

Select the characteristics of an ideal operational amplifier.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Numbers 4, 6, & 7 are correct

Explanation:

4- this allows the op amp to have zero voltage so that maximum voltage is transferred to output load.

6- this ensures that op amp doesn't cause loading in the original circuit, high input impedance would not deter the circuit from pulling current from it.

7- high difference between upper and lower frequencies.
